Throwing in with the fundamentally anti-EV, anti-green energy GOP because the Democrats hurt his feelings online and he got riled up in group chats when his wealth was based on EVs and green energy was pure drug logic. And I think we're all going to suffer for it, even worse than he is

Oh yeah, central Boston's layout is... not fun. I really like Back Bay, though... some of the best urban design in the country.
