Electric Cars Too Costly for the Many, Even with Tax Credit
This points to why the tax credits are paltry for buying EVs and it’s mainly the wealthy and upper middle class will be taking advantage of it. Most of the country will be running gasoline cars because there’s no incentives they are able to qualify for.
Most of the bill won’t help working class families. Hence my diatribe yesterday.
I notice a big omission in this read: hybrid vehicles. Plus, AS USUAL, nothing is ever said about all the electronic hi-tech stuff that is thrown in junkyards. How come we don’t hear more about recycling lithium, etc. from those sources?
Until us Humans actually take recycling seriously the planet is screwed and so is the human race.
A Stock Buyback Tax Isn’t a Great Idea
If it had been a 10%, it would have been stripped out of the bill.
Sinema plus a few other bought off pukes would have made sure of it.💩
Winners & Losers in Tax Policy
This defunding the IRS cranked up in 1981 with the election of guess who?💩💩 Private Equity needs to be totally nationalized, stripped of all its stolen assets, and then made illegal. Plus, put a few PE boyz in a real jail. Next focus: asset management. Lather, rinse, repeat. At that point, the MICC will have to shrink cos where’s the coin to fund their backwards, ripoff azzes?
Off topic but I’ve got to ask, has anyone ever seen Wolf Blitzer smile? I’m trying to imagine what makes him happy or pleased.
Mebbe his hemorrhoids are bothering him.😂💩
His Pay check?
The point being made is that while the Dems lost the special elections, they fared better than expected and there’s a chance they could eek out a win in November in those districts. Not likely, but possible.
Even if they don’t eke out a win in these particular Republican leaning districts, these results show that they will be very competitive in more even districts and might be able to hold Dem leaning districts. These results do not indicate a Republican wave.
Exactly. Unfortunately, there is a Trump wave so far in the GOP primaries.
Yeah, but that could turn into a positive for our side. A tRump maggot nutcase vs. a somewhat sensible opponent?
A life time to go before 24 anything can happen.
Inflation receding would definitely help the Dems
Gas is going up though next month. Saudis raised prices for September. That’s why I thought Biden was foolish to deal with them. I knew they would.
So what? The Ukrainian-Russian conflict (helped out by such neocon aholes as Victoria Nuland-Robert Kagan back in 2014) insured this energy hike. And Saudi MBS is a murderous greedball yahoo to start with.
If he wins, what’s stopping him from changing to an Indie?
What happened to the party of Law and order? Also back the blue ? Jan 6th It was more beat the blue that day.
heh heh
Can you imagine the out cry by the R’s if Obama took sensative documents out of the WH when he left office.
He wouldn’t. He’s not a pack rat.
Ouch! Good one, Ms. Benny! 😂😂👍
What an idiot.
Rand better watch his worthless azz. Charles Booker is for real, and Rand doesn’t have the corrupt power of Beijing Mitch.
This US Empire BS gives me a chronic headache.
