True. And the nepo-babies that lead these corporations are making millions off dollars each year simply by showing up to work.
Switching over to electric vehicles is inevitable. But who's going to do that work and take that risk? What if they screw up? Ain't no nepo-baby gonna screw up that cash cow. They're going to continue showing up to work every day, sucking up the income and when the end of gasoline happens, they'll throw up their hands and say, "No one could have seen that coming."
(To be fair, it's not just management. There are tons of people at every level who don't want to risk losing their job with an uncertain outcome over just showing up to work every day and doing the same job they already know. But it's the "leadership's" job to do that anyway for the long-term health of the company.)
