That we agree on. I'm not sure why people thought that medical care/insurance would get less expensive when the government mandated that you have to get health insurance. Sme with EV's. Some states are outlawing ICE in a few years, causing prices to rise. Throw in government subsidies and incentives, and price goes up.
Just because something is legal that doesn't make it right.
Tell be about it. As a middle aged, middle class, white dude it wouldn't take much to get me ready for the boogaloo.
There is big money in keeping people sick, and telling them what to eat so they stay sick.
You make a good point, convenience is important and right not EVs aren't attainable for everyone.
Very solid points. Maybe one day we will see EV advancement that makes it more desirable to people
LOL. Fingers crossed they give you credit soon!I didn't get a tax credit for my EV!?
haha a tad to slow for me! and thats coming from someone that rides a drz400 lol they are slow!
What happens when the hole at the bottom gets to small? ?not to be a jerk but just the fact that a tax credit exists for ev pisses me off. ev is a solution looking for a problem. they are not environmentally friendly by a long shot. they are way over priced and typical govt fail in action. many of the major automakers had ev before most of us were even born. they trash canned the idea then when they realized no real up side existed for them or the customer or the environment. the difference now is that people are led to believe they are buying a "green" option of transportation and the manufactures and govt are making money this time that they were not the first few go arounds. how about a tax break to give the tax payers money back from all the inflation we have been shouldering?
so 275,913,237 vehicles registered in the U.S. in 2020. if we figure about 1000 pound lithium battery pack for that many cars thats 275913237000 pounds (roughly) lets not split frog hairs - of earth metals that must be pulled out of the ground by strip mines / open pit mines. here is a picture of an older lithium mine mainly used for tech device batts like phones / laptops. i dont wanna see how the planet will look after we swing into high gear to support this nonsense ev push. if the purpose was to really help the environment why not bio fuels that requires plants that take in co2 and expel oxygen and burn relatively clean. why no bio diesel push or even diesel electric. those are proven and well documented for being efficient and powerful. rail roads have moved countless amounts of freight for decades on diesel electric. run the engine on bio fuel and make it even better . na not enough shenanigans in that. if ford would sell us a hybrid diesel electric ranger id be on the list.
When doctors have a commercial mindset, a patient cured is a customer lost.
FYI, all deductions are optional including the std. deduction. Anyone can pay full price if they choose. Be a “patriot”, pay full price and take zero of any optional deduction, standard or otherwise. Doing this will maintain your personal scruples. But wishing for a flat tax will only hurt those that dont already have the means, such as seniors on a fixed income. Because a flat tax will be on EVERYTHING, medications, food, medical care etc.
While it is dancing the line it hasn't crossed it just yet. Some subjects especially anything related to EV's is going to have some politics because of the way it's being forced on us right now. It's hard to read an article without something in in being said politically when it comes to EV's. Plus all the incentives for both the vehicles and the mining are unfortunately politicized. I think most here know where to draw the line and keep it from being a left/right argument. But there's some who still need a little reminder once in a while too.
