TRILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS!!!!!!! Sensationalize much?

You know which other industries include companies that make TRILLIONS? Pretty much every one of them.

Do you think that when oil has taken the several severe dives that it has over the last decade, oil and gas companies were making money? They were…

What does that even mean? Are you talking about executives and their personal wealth? You do realize that there are other industries with highly paid executives, right?

Of course it has an effect. If the tax break was $1, it would have an effect. Would that effect be measurable? Probably not. But the way in which you exaggerate the effect to try and prove your point is lazy because you are just saying if simply do “A”, then “B” will happen. It’s not that simple.

Then it’s it the right of everyone that disagrees with the movement to kneel for the anthem to say so?

Instead of allowing disagreement, let’s just call them a fucking scumbag. Sounds about right in today’s world.

That is such a lazy post. You act like leaving the tax break in place will magically allow the U.S. to lead the EV industry and that if the tax break is taken away, all hell breaks loose and tons of jobs go out the window. No.

Do you think that producing said fuel is a surefire money tree? No, it’s an extremely risky business.

If you pinch margins, do you think smart money is going to continue to invest? No, they will go elsewhere. There’s a reason that margins are high. There’s hardly a more risky way to make a living in our society.

You literally have no idea what you’re talking about, despite your claim to. 0-1% effective tax rates. That isn’t reality.

One of my issues with Odyssey is that you don’t have to collect very many moons in order to move onto the next kingdom.

I’m finding myself finishing the required moons in like 15 minutes, and then “forcing” myself to stay in that kingdom so that I don’t advance in the game too quickly.

It’s not that the game isn’t fun…

I guess that’s a good way to look at it, and now that I read that, I agree. I used to say “they shouldn’t be worth the same”, but to your point, it’s a testament to the game design that it feels just as good whether you found it behind a wall or you found it after a 15 minute secret run.

So you’re comparing collecting korok seeds to collecting power moons, when the two game mechanics serve completely different purposes and have completely different weight.

You must collect power moons to advance in the game - they ARE the game.

You don’t have to collect a single korok seed to beat BOTW.

I fail to see the…

It’s so funny how so many short-sighted people compare oil subsidies to EV subsidies

It’s not that they CAN’T innovate, it’s that they don’t WANT to innovate if no one is buying the product. But the truth is, many manufacturers are dumping a lot of money into EV R&D in anticipation of increasing demand.

In what way are the consumers that “need” the tax credit “penalized”, as you call it? Why do they need an electric vehicle in order to be driving a “reasonable” form of transportation?

Yes, along with their own money as well in a bet that demand will increase.

You all are looking soooo short term. Yes, at this very moment, perhaps some demand is being stifled because of high cost of entry. Have you noticed how many hundreds of millions of dollars manufacturers are dumping into EV R&D? This will translate into a wider range of options, making EV’s more accessible.

Manufacturers are already innovating. They are pouring hundreds of millions into EV R&D if you haven’t noticed. We’re still in the early stages of the life-cycle (post Tesla). Over time, more and more options will come out and EV’s will become cheaper and more accessible.

What we need is a path forward with regard to…

What sense does it make for the government to subsidize someone’s purchase of an EV?

Just because their is a limited offering of options at this point, so they are towards the high end of the price spectrum? That’s not a very good reason.

Over time, more and more options will come out (have you noticed how every…

If electric vehicles are that great, then people will buy them. When more and more people buy them, more and more models come out, the price range widens along with the number of options, and they become cheaper.

Why should the taxpayer saddle the up-front burden of someone buying an EV? Again, if they are that great,…

Or, he’s mostly interested in clearing his name, and she’s the one that tarnished it in the first place, so maybe he sued her for that reason. If you sue someone else, you aren’t directly ‘attacking’ the person that defamed you.
