If California actually does ban sale of new cars that are not electric in 2035, might the stock of car repair and part and used car sales be decent investments?

I could see a lot of demand for 3 year old off lease IC cars.

If leprechauns are real, and they unload all their pots o' gold on the open market, it'll crater gold prices.

So a good investment strategy to short gold futures...

Because it's about as likely as California actually banning ICE by 2035.

I think CA could well ban all but EVs by 2035 for new car sales.  Trucks maybe not.

Norway is over 50% EVs for new cars today, they get significant tax and toll breaks.  If you think about a Tesla today versus whatever existed 15 years ago, it's pretty substantial progress.

California will be a failed state by 2035, so it doesn’t even matter. Millions of people are fleeing that homeless, burning shit hole.

California's population grows, year over year. 

While it's true that California does experience net domestic migration out of the state, it's more than made up via births and immigration. (Note: before claiming it's a flood of illegals, only about 23% of California's immigrant population is illegal and now the largest share of our incoming immigrants are Asian, not from Latin America.)

I've got my issues with California, and I may even leave if given the opportunity to be utee's neighbor. And we do have some issues with the homeless and with wildfires. But to call it a homeless, burning shit hole is simply ignorant of this state. People live here because despite our problems, it's still pretty great. 

California's population growth has been positive every year since 1900, which Michigan can say. In those years California's population growth has consistently been higher as a percentage year-to-year than Michigan's. I could easily make the argument that California is a much better place to live than a shithole like Michigan as a result...

MDot lives in Florida. He got out of his shithole just like I got out of mine.

He only moved to Florida because hot latinas don't want to live in Michigan, and certainly don't wear bikinis when they do 

I don't think Florida is for me, and I'm not going to call it a shithole. But there is a reason that "Florida man" is basically a meme at this point... 

The middle of Florida is a lot like the middle of most states - Cali included.

I think Florida is a lot like California in that depending on where you are, it could feel like as many as 4-6 different states "culturally". I'm sure Florabama doesn't feel even remotely the same as the Miami metro, which is completely different than Jacksonville, and all of those are nothing like the center of the state. 

California has mountains.  And wine.
