Teslas are everywhere here. Considered a status symbol… <facepalm>
Every time I mention “Buy EU” to people, family, and friends, they look at me like I’m an alien.
Yeah, I’ve lived in a couple of countries in Europe and my fellow countrymen are the least socially aware of all and easily 30 - 40 years behind Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
I moved back to Portugal some years ago, after 2 decades abroad, and in several things (mobility, environmental awareness, social values) it was like going back in time.
Things are especially bad in everything to do with cars, with people still having the same mindset as back in the 80s, even young people.

Let’s set the context to fellows aged between 18 and 35, since that’s the law in Portugal for defining young people.
WTF is going on? There’s so much access to information! I’m not talking about reading books, really. Why are we so behind on everything? I mean, our education isn’t that bad, aside from the overcrowded classrooms in the metropolitan areas. Our universities aren’t too shabby, and the curriculums are good… So what’s left for us to regain some momentum? I don’t know man, I just want to fly to Australia and stay there, to be honest.
