Moves like this are only going to make gas prices go up!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This requires skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and long-term planning.
Republicans can't think beyond what they believe "ownz teh libz" right now. Nor do they want to. If it doesn't "pwn th3 l1bs" right this second, they're not even remotely interested.
Remember, the party is actively anti DEI, anti science, anti-intellectual now. They wear it as a badge of honor. They consider things like critical thinking and long-term planning "woke" and grounds for banishment from the party. Ask them to think critically and they will literally tell you "we don't want to."
Ever watch Pinnochio? The scene where the kids are all playing around without any supervision and slowly turning into mindless jackasses, not realizing what's happening until it's too late and they're reduced to mindlessly thrashing around in terror? That. That's what's happening right now. They just think that it's "everybody else" that will turn into the jackasses, not realizing they've already started growing a tail.
They're dumb as fuck and they want it this way.
You people need to stop listening to this buffon and IGNORE those orders!
You can't really ignore an order that defunds you. People aren't going to be installing charging stations for free.
then extort that money from that fat ass and his loony goons.
Yeah, you'll all have to follow the Luigi path to fix this. Politics has failed.
Well that just hurt some American jobs I’m sure.
Wonder how president musk feels about that. 🤔
It's great for him, he already has a pretty prolific charging network. All this does is hamper the competition.
Its exactly why this kind of thing is happening, it prevents competition in the EV space. Government subsidies for charging infrastructure means people can pick cars based on the car and not charging.
Possibly the funniest conflict of interest of all time
