We live in a global economy [...]
Same argument from  the isolationist today. "Our Founding  fathers said to keep out of foreign entanglements"  Well George and crew did not have to deal with intercontinental ballistic missiles, cyber attacks from  3500 miles  away from rogue nations.

That is somehow a call to submit to globalism? Not by a long, long shot.
Foreign entanglements indeed. Ol George was a prophet.

The federal government could try cutting spending instead. Just a thought

ICEs didn't require any subsidies to effectively make horse-and-buggy obsolete within years, despite the fact that prior to the introduction of the Ford Model T there were few paved roads and few gas stations.

We live in a global economy and US companies will move in a heartbeat to another country with cheaper labor.   China and S. Korea and now Vietnam heavily subsidizes their EV industry. Way more than what we do. If we do not subsidize our home grown EV industry these countries  will become the leaders and we will have to buy the technology and products from them.

Numerous companies such as Green Bean battery company are popping  up to rehab old batteries and resell them for a 1/4 of the cost of new.  The free market is taking care of the battery problems.
I believe this is how Interstate battery company was started-rehabbing used batteries but it's been a while.

I am well aware. I have rebuilt two personally. Still even at that it was fifteen hundred bucks in parts and the expertise to try.

But then I DO buy/sell. It's my thing to buy busted sh*t and fix it to sell it for a profit.
And I can tell you right now that a EV that needs a battery will be worth nothing. Worse than a minivan that needs a transmission.

Only half of Teslas now use cobalt. The EV industry is getting away from Lithium and cobalt and or only using minimum amounts through innovation.

Yo ticturd.  You know what is innovative?   Let the market sort it out.  Take your EV shill ass out of here.  No one is buying what you are selling.

  For example, the cobalt used in my iPhone is predominantly from recycled sources.  The same cannot be said for your EV.

Biden probably still believes the current inflation is "transitory'

His diaper is transitory.

The Tesla Roadster already does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. The next generation one is supposed to be 1.1 seconds. It probably can't do it many times before requiring a recharge...


I'm in a hurry but I don't why.
My EV goes from zero to 60 in 2.0
I hear a voice
That say's I'm running behind
Saving the planet is a race
I better pick up my pace
And there ain't no room
For someone in second place.

Carter, at least, recognized inflation was a problem and appointed Paul Volcker to chairman of the Federal Reserve

Biden probably still believes the current inflation is "transitory'
