Easy. Slap on an annual registration fee directly proportional to weight. Shit, just make it half the sale weight of the car for any non-EV, and half that again for EVs. Peg the ratio to inflation after that.

I think most of us here are concerned with foreign adversary interference as much as we are concerned with corporate interference and espionage. The law seems to only address the surface level issue (ownership) and none of the actual problems (action).

Weakness: complete overkill for most of the problems in your life.

Weakness: better done in advance, before you even realized you needed that knowledge to solve some other problem.

Weakness: Immediate cash rewards unlikely.

I want them to actually chuck a handful of small spacecrafts as far as they possibly can in orthogonal directions, then have them take parallax images for the nearest pulsars we don't have direct distance measurements of. It would be nice to push back the sphere of distances we've measured that way.

Long COVID happens at a WAY higher rate than ME/CFS does with any other illness. In an oversimplification, they're basically the same thing. COVID is the first disease we've found that can reliably trigger ME/CFS, to the point where it got its own name.

The other reason they're pushing hydrogen has to do with Japanese infrastructure, so they could very well be aiming to do both anyway. Domestic hydrogen and international EVs.
