Good thing memes don't have to account for every individuals experience in the world huh
The meme makes a blanket statement forgetting about a big swath of rural people, falsely claiming that EVs don't address climate change when the cold fact is that EVs do represent a way for people like me to contribute to the solution. A meme like this deserves a reminder like mine.
Or you could simply remember that it's just a meme and stop getting so worked up!
Signed, A rural EV owner
Or, I could make a small post so that one of our rural neighbours, driving an SUV, doesn't read "EVs don't solve climate change" and think to themselves "Hey, that's true, may as well continue on with my SUV".
