They didn't just make money, they are using this as a way to snatch rights and freedoms from people.
The chip shortage is over. Still not building cars (down at least 60% in production). They are forcing the "electric" vehicle switch. Not a peep from the big 3 makers, anyone notice? That is because the automakers got the bailout up front and have pulled most of their engineering staff and put them on battery and EV development. They want yu to believe there are no chips for rudimentary vehicle computers but no shortage of chips for smart TVs, phones, and all other devices.
There is no way to charge all these vehicles at a rate to drive the miles we currently travel. They do not care as they want you traveling less. Drive your 150 miles and sit tight for 12 hours. Commuters will pay heavy penalties for driving ICE vehicles. Per the "Reset Plan".
This is but one aspect of "The Great Reset" many more new costs and restrictions to follow. They are dialing it back just a bit for the elections but prepare yourselves to pay more for everything, so you will own nothing.
