That'd be the right way to address the soda tax.

We should have a rewards program during tax season for small footprints, but not punishments for large ones.

Like EV tax credits, but incents for people that DON'T buy things.

Of course that would be contrary to the entire system we have (consume things/waste them/dispose of) which is literally killing the planet.

EV average is $66,000

$7500 tax credit is just helping wealthy people or dumb asses who exceeds their means with an $800 a month car payment. Either way, it’s terrible policy to achieve a goal. Let EVs compete on the open market.

Yeah, but it got me and a bunch of other people to pull the trigger and buy one.

Making me pay extra to not have one is the idea I said was stupid. Like the soda tax - making me pay extra because *someone's kids are obese.

By the way that policy put way more EVs on the road, than any stupid automotive EV bailout that biden gave FORD

I love how you're like 40 billion for the rich, 50 billion to bring jobs back to the usa!, 400 billion for more jobs!

"EV TAX CREDITS ARE STUPID WASTE OF MONEY!"

lol wtf

[Jibartik]

"sure intel spent 1.3 billion teaching the Chinese how to compete - lets give them 10 billion to come home we need to compete with china!"

I hate these ideas so much.

They just keep doing the same things.

I’d agree with the argument much more if we didn’t get factory corn farms way mkre

[Jibartik]

You see why I dont support your selective bailout mentality?

Because you dont get selective bailouts, you get bailouts or you get NO bailouts.

I prefer no bailouts, not bailouts for "some" (all the rich) who prefer cheaper sweeteners for the shit they sell us.

We’d have rail if we didn’t subsidize planes

Hope this helps

[Jibartik]

we'd have chip manufacturers if we didnt subsidize global economy and we wouldnt be so reliant on the airline industry.

and if my grandma had wheels she'd be a bycicle.

[Kaveh]

I too support time travel to fix past mistakes

Barring that, I think we have to make compromises

lmao ok go move to California.

Their train they cant figure out how to build there costs more than we have bailed out the entire air industry including after 9/11 and covid.

If you dont count covid/911 bailouts, they STILL recive less subsdies from the goverment since 2000, than the total cost of the (failed) high speed rail in Cal
