We need to quit subsidizing them at all though and include the price of needed transmission lines, etc. See it is Ron who hates free market capitalism, not me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capitalism (laymen version) = if one has money required, one can join the market of producing-buying-selling things intended. - here is where problem occurs. As mentioned before, 1. There ought to be a quality check or performance entry bar. This prevents substandard products from cycle of "being produced - can not be sold - wasting material and resources - polluting and occupying space at dump site due to low degradability". Worse, if they could endanger end users. 2. Revival of old ethic: produce things that are good in quality and can last for a long time. - with drastic population increment, sales volume for quality products might never be an issue. - modern mentality where inferior imitates that are cheap yet need to be changed every one or two years to increase turn over rate and profit should not be allowed. - although not abandoning free market capitalism, there ought to be restriction so that end users and the environment are protected. 15 hours ago, TailingsPond said: You keep ignoring that Trump has been bought by the owner of a EV company. Follow the money / political donations... Zero chance Musk is giving Trump millions without some potential policy kickbacks. People who are advanced in technology and programming might have been divided by two, i.e. supporters for K.Haris and supporters for D.Trump. - Haris, a trained lawyer, is backed by those who want more policies be made to their favour, or keep status quo where their projects are in favour. - Trump, a heir of multi-b real estate empire, is backed by those who want more effective action, less garbage policies. He uttered high compliment on Milei, new chief of Argentine. We might have noticed, in highly competitive world, only those of equal or who have done better could afford sincere compliment for others. Both are supported by Peter Thiel. Later joint by Elon Musk. Thiel has good eyes on Milei when no one heard him, yet ridiculed his speech. Thiel proves himself right to back Milei. As a heir who has used to act and speak at will, Trump might have little chance to be bought over with millions, which to him, might be few dollars or cents (we do remember how much cash Musk has, don't we?? 'o' 'n')...... However, Elon values free and sincere speech, which might be a plus point to Trump in accepting Elon's support.

If you don't want to look silly don't make wrong predictions. FYI the economy is doing quite well right now. Markets are up and interest rates are getting cut as inflation is slowing.
