That's literally the role of the government, though.

US politics is basically neither side compromising on the basis of ideology and saying it's the other side's fault.

That's a far more condemnable position when you're the actual government than when you're the opposition.

Fuck off. Your inconvenience is not worth more than their livelihoods.

Counterexample: police unions

Think of all the profits you're delivering to shareholders!

Winter tires, then a winter driving course, then AWD. In that order.

FWIW a lot of your problems with apartments were fixed in the Soviet Union lol

ITT: dude's been living in $200/month flats and wonders why people living in $2000/month luxury apartments are enjoying it so much

You realize how much money is going towards EV subsidies? They're extremely inefficient uses of money.

Stopping climate change by...

Removing fossil fuels from the grid? Reducing methane leakage in natural gas transmission? Developing domestic nuclear energy?

Maybe reducing car-dependency to make more efficient use of land and reduce the excessive amounts of taxpayer money being dumped to subsidize suburban development? Reducing inefficient flights between close cities (LAX-SFO, BOS-JFK-DCA)? Building more efficient buildings?

How about taking advantage of the already insanely efficient supply chains in China that allow for the development of sub-10k EVs? Helping those companies launch in the US and bring their expertise with them to accelerate the EV transition like China has?

Nah, let's just give some more money to a few big EV manufacturers, I'm sure that'll fix everything.

neoliberalism in a nutshell

Taiwan literally had a government intervention to launch TSMCcand developed their university system around TSMC being the crown jewel of employment, while the US has had dysfunctional support for anything STEM that succeeds in spite of itself.
