  • Yeah it’s funny that MAGA assholes are butthurt, but this also signals that “ThE LeFt” just does not understand a big part of why they lost: they have consistently ignored middle-class non-urban voices, for decades. (And not just “Hollywood types” like Hanks, I mean political leadership)

    If political leadership and strong policymaking had been there for a majority of Americans for a long time, maybe just maybe by the 2010s the dumbass dick-swingin’ rapist grifter wouldn’t have found such a nice pile of grievances to conveniently turn to his advantage.













  • Yes you are understanding that correctly. For producing EVs, they get credits from the federal government. I don’t know the exchange rate – e.g., how many EVs per credit.

    Then, Tesla turns around and sells these credits to buyers, usually other companies. Companies buy these credits from Tesla to comply with regulations requiring certain environmental outcomes, and credits count towards these outcomes.

    In theory this type of program incentivizes and rewards companies who invest in the technology(is) tied to these credits, in this case EVs. In practice it’s a way for other companies to comply with renewables regulations without actually doing anything to meaningfully reduce their impact and footprint (other than buying credits)
