If we're being technical, a 4 horse trailer with 4 adult horses can be well over 11klbs.
But ya, I agree with what you're implying- person who made the post almost certainly never even looked up the numbers, just posted some bullshit off of the top of his head.
They can't pull their imaginary horse trailer with their 1988 Honda Civic, either.

It was more a point about the absurdity of the claim about batteries and fires. EVs catch fire less than fossils do, not least because they produce a lot less heat in normal operation. All the hand wringing about batteries and stored energy, are pretty much the same as the ones about fossil cars when they were new. Horses rarely catch fire.

There is a notable problem with battery installations in hurricane areas right now.
Every hurricane results in a bunch of EV, Powerwall, and their subsequent house fires. This is just fact.
In these instances, there is a 0% chance a fossil source is going to destroy your home.

Does that mean "batteries are bad!!!!"? Of course not.
But it is a real problem that needs real consideration.

And yes- anyone who tries to make an argument that batteries are inherent dangerous because of their stored energy is an idiot.
They're inherently dangerous when exposed to highly conductive fluids like salt water, because it causes a rapid discharge of their stored energy, like fire does for a flammable fluid.
It's not contentious to say that you don't want a tank of gasoline around fire, so why is it contentious to say that you don't want a bunch of batteries in an area that may be inundated in salt water?

And who the fuck do you think you are? Some kind of citizen law enforcement?
Presumably, if there are crimes in those files, they will have been handled by the proper authorities. If not, the next administration can look for that.

But the reality here is you aren't looking for crimes. Your looking for guilty by association.
You're looking for people to lynch.

You and the red hats that think like you aren't fooling anyone.

Cure your own.

The refugee program comes with a revokable visa.

The twat waffles in the Executive branch are going for the low hanging fruit. They've got a list of visa holders, and they're looking for any violation of the visa terms, no matter how small, and then deporting them. It's fucked up, but it's legal.

lol-

I'm not sure what your point is.
In the US, unfortunately, one single conviction makes it so that the executive branch can revoke your residency.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia satisfies that requirement, even if we all know he's not some fucking gangster or whatever.
Making it so that this can't happen in the future means changing the laws that allowed it now.

It is your ignorance that makes it so that you can't understand what's going on, and thus, you stand no chance in hell of ever being able to fix it.
The system is a magical contraption to you. It's time to shut the fuck up so that your betters can work to fix it.

Nope. That's indeed super fucked up.
However, it should be noted that it was the parents decision to take the child, and not leave them as a citizen ward of the state.

If you're a single parent with a child that has cancer, and you go and murder someone, are you able to escape justice because of that?

You'll find yourself to be less stupid in general if you actually think through your positions before vocalizing them.
