But thats what the gov wants is for us to need them to survive. Alot of people will do anything for them including taking a vax or no job etc and look where that got us.

The closure of the car industry has done nothing to reduce the price of new cars (relative to what they were when there was local manufacturing), even though there has always been taxpayer funding going into that industry but that's hardly any different with the discount on new EVs to encourage uptake. That means higher inflation in the long term with fewer choices available which means a lower standard of living.
