Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently made some head-scratching comments comparing Americans’ gas vehicles to landline phones. Let’s break it down, folks.
First off, comparing a $60-80,000 electric vehicle to a $1,000 cellular phone is like comparing a Ferrari to a tricycle. It just doesn’t add up. Most hard-working Americans can’t just drop that kind of cash on a whim. We’re talking about real money here, not pocket change.

Pete Buttigieg's Arrogant Condescension: Compares Americans' Gas Vehicles to Landline Phones https://t.co/dl2fN9FuCL— Ward Clark (@TheGreatLander) April 4, 2024
Secondly, not everyone lives in a swanky neighborhood with EV chargers on every corner. The Biden administration’s grand plan to spend billions on building charging stations has resulted in a whopping seven stations. Yeah, you heard that right, seven. That’s like trying to fight a forest fire with a water gun.
Thirdly, electric vehicles struggle in extreme weather conditions. So if you live in the chilly north or the blazing south, good luck getting to your destination without running out of juice. It’s like expecting a snowman to survive a day at the beach. It just ain’t happening.
And finally, let’s talk about the government pushing these EVs on us like a used car salesman on commission. Remember when cell phones hit the market? People wanted them because they were cool and useful, not because the government strong-armed them into it. Let the people decide what they want, Pete!
In conclusion, Buttigieg’s comparison is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole – it just doesn’t make sense. We need leaders who understand the struggles of everyday Americans, not ones who live in their ivory towers disconnected from reality. Pete, it’s time to come back down to earth and see things from our perspective for a change.
