Subsidies for me, but not for thee
Corporate welfare. The ruling class LOVE socialism when it means tax payers fund their businesses.
Let’s just do ourselves a favor and support the SEC law suits against Musk. Then let’s investigate how he actually runs his companies and throw him in prison or sue him into the poor house. Shit bags like that weirdo need to get slapped down to nothingness. And it’s our job to support the government agencies that can do that. Stop his degenerate sideways talk.
Would it be fun if Harris won and gave subsidies to every other EV company but Tesla?
That’s actually a policy that existed long before Harris was Vice President.
To incentivize manufacturers to build EV’s, the first 200,000 get a tax credit. Tesla reached its limit first so now wants to stop the incentives for all other manufacturers.
To make it fair, if the tax credit is removed Tesla should be required to pay back the ~ $1.5 Billion in tax credits they received.
They tried to do this with the IRA by requiring it to be a union workforce. Before the bill was finished that got reduced to an additional bonus for union labor shops, and then that got completely removed in I believe it was the senate?
The Inflation Reduction Act?
Irish Republican Army?
Individual Retirement Account?
Edit: Assume you mean the first one, just nkt sure what the “it” you mean is. Tesla? They wanted to require Tesla go fully union…?
Inflation reduction act.
Early on there was talks that the act was going to require OEMs to be union shops to get the benefits.
Then the bill was released and it was something like $4500 for everyone and and additional $3000 if your factory had union labor.
Then when it got to the senate or house, the union portion got removed and it was $7500 for everyone.
This fucking guy seems to think Trump and Polievre will hand him a NA market not only subsidized but incentivized by tariffs on imports from China - who, unlike NA, hasn’t stuck their head in the oilsand.
And he’s right it seems.
North America fucked up EVs. It’s fucked that we will also be hampered in adoption because of shit selection and absurd prices.
Edit: another hindrance to adoption is that I will never give my money to Tesla after how Musk is acting with their approval.
Not enough towns that could benefit from bus systems have bus systems. We could be providing subsidies to municipalities to implement bus systems. Instead we’re giving them to the world’s richest man so we can shift which resources our colonialism extracts instead of undoing the colonialism
Me too, but I’m resigned to it.
Too many Canadians simply cannot see that our conservatives are similar in ideology to the US.
Musk - the biggest welfare queen of all time
