I worked at the Fry's outside Atlanta in 2005/6. Our 1 store used to $200 million in sales per year. I have noticed all of the Fry's around Houston have been ghost towns and low on merchandise for the past couple years.

You're joking right? There are still hundreds/thousands of tireless Twitter bots so dedicated to pushing the Trump/Russia 2016 conspiracy theory that they still haven't noticed that there's been a new election and we have a new President.

Submission + - Electric Vehicles Close To 'Tipping Point' of Mass Adoption (theguardian.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Electric vehicles are close to the “tipping point” of rapid mass adoption thanks to the plummeting cost of batteries, experts say. Global sales rose 43% in 2020, but even faster growth is anticipated when continuing falls in battery prices bring the price of electric cars dipping below that of equivalent petrol and diesel models, even without subsidies. The latest analyses forecast that to happen some time between 2023 and 2025.
The tipping point has already been passed in Norway, where tax breaks mean electric cars are cheaper. The market share of battery-powered cars soared to 54% in 2020 in the Nordic country, compared with less than 5% in most European nations. Prof Tim Lenton, at the University of Exeter, said: “There’s been a tipping point in one country, Norway, and that’s thanks to some clever and progressive tax incentives. Then consumers voted with their wallets.”
Data from Lenton’s latest study showed that in 2019, electric vehicles in Norway were 0.3% cheaper and had 48% market share. In the UK, where electric cars were 1.3% more expensive, market share was just 1.6%. Once the line of price parity was crossed, Lenton said, “bang – sales go up. We were really struck by how non-linear the effect seems to be." BloombergNEF’s analysis predicts lithium-ion battery costs will fall to the extent that electric cars will match the price of petrol and diesel cars by 2023, while Lenton suggests 2024-2025. McKinsey’s Global Energy Perspective 2021, published on January 15, forecasts that “electric vehicles are likely to become the most economic choice in the next five years in many parts of the world."
