I’m not looking to extend this conversation much further because we’re just not going to agree on the underlying purpose of government (which is fine)... but there is an argument the end-user is picking winners and losers and not the government. If you want to pay factory workers minimum wage and offer a cheaper car…

Saying now for the 4th time for the people in the back, the requirement should be for prevailing wage and not for union membership. 

I said I was wrong take a deep breath dude geez

Damn, that should go in a book somewhere 

Yeah, I’m definitely rooting for Max (since he’s making this season appointment television for me), but after watching it again I think you’re right. Max was wheel to wheel coming through 1 in my memory (even if he did enter late), but that’s not what actually happened. Lewis had already turned in before Max even…

Max had been on his tires for 1 lap

I don’t agree with the grid penalty and tend to put a little more blame on Hamilton, but this is pretty close to how I read it. Not for nothing, Hamilton is leaving pit lane while max is flying down the straight going about 220 while getting pushed off the tarmac by a car going diagonally across the track that’s still …

.....That’s why I said they should change the UAW requirement to a prevailing wage requirement.

I thought Hamilton tried to defend his position coming out of the pits as well as he could, left Max just enough daylight in 1, but definitely pinched him in 2. After Max committed in 1 and had the space I can’t fault him for hitting the curb in 2. Hard to say if Hamilton just misjudged how much space to leave around…

Yeah I’m glad I woke up for this one

Good point

That’s a fair point, but you’re assuming there won’t be any migration from people with sedans who could buy a nicer truck. If they did a EV cash for pickup clunkers then absolutely go nuts. Offer $15-20k EV incentive for trucks older than like 2010 and they immobilize the truck. No cap on new truck price. That’s a…

It definitely does with the kWh incentive. And let’s exaggerate this a bit. Would you rather have a $25,000 car or a $45,000 truck? It disproportionally lets you option a truck compared to a car before hitting the cap. And if they really need to offset build/acquisition costs like that, they can easily limit an…

People forget that most of our grid power is extremely carbon-heavy. Prioritizing larger and heavier cars with more incentives just encourages people to buy larger heavier cars which have worse “mileage” and therefore still have a higher carbon footprint. Adopting EV’s isn’t a panacea to our carbon issues, but this…

Eh, the thinking is surely to incentivize jobs that offer a higher standard of living. Tesla can unionize and it all goes away. If tax dollars aren’t spent prioritizing people’s lives over a billionaires bottom line then what are we doing here. I think paying a higher subsidy to companies that pay a prevailing wage is…

I missed a friends wedding because someone blocked the garage I paid to rent. I honked for over an hour. They were at prayers during Ramadan. 2 blocks away.

You’re thinking of Jason not Dog

Drug DeNiro? I’ve been on this site for 15 years doesn’t ring a bell

Is he the “Regular Cars Reviewed” guy or something?

This is a fucking terrible opinion. They could barely keep the safety car on the roads so they should instead run a full-throttle race in a highly competitive season with two aggressive drivers in the top 3 who already locked horns this year? How the fuck do you think the race would end, especially given there was a…
