He made the Federal EV credit only apply to the big 3 in functionality. Who didn't have good EV offerings at the time. That's a paddlin. And no, we should just require American companies to manufacture stuff here. Working for the people means working for the people, NOT the corporations.

which also blocks the administration from adding things like proof-of-citizenship before November.

You think that's going to stop them? lol. You must be new around here. They broke it so they can "fix" it the way they always wanted it.

And they already won the court case. It was earlier this week at SCOTUS.

I'm not going to be surprised when they declare this election a horrible loss due to illegal voting in blue states no matter what the outcome is. Then they'll use the noncompliance with illegal demands and lack of a federal oversight committee to declare an emergency around late October 2028.

Would you believe it's right after 121 and 7th? Not 121 and 8th; that leads to the one way bike path. Obviously. And if you make that mistake you have to use 3 highway ramps in perfect conjunction to get back there. Crossing all lanes for each exit.

To be fair, it's killed a few ducks with all the algae and chemicals in it right now... It probably isn't a good idea. But also we know that's not why they're stopping people.

It's several hundred dollars just to get there from the west coast. Many Americans do not have 800 dollars they can throw at a vacation.

The Constitution has been pretty well subverted in that matter. It actually made small parties pretty easy because the representation ratio was small enough that Jeb the farmhand could get elected by drinking with enough people in different taverns. That's been exploded by the refusal to add any new seats to Congress since the 1940's. So now nobody is getting elected without millions in personal or PAC money. The easiest way to access that money is the DNC and RNC.

The idea that Senators and Representatives would act autonomously in the interests of their constituents was disproven almost immediately. Parties formed in Washington's lifetime.

If a less capitalist party magically appeared with the capital to compete it would sweep the democrats and republicans out of office. The economic grind for no apparent gain is consistently one of the top issues in elections. It just turns out that 100 million dollars of ads can absolutely convince people that this year the politicians will actually help them.

With sparkles! It's illustrative. I'm not doing an analysis of the entire supply ecosystem for a one sentence post.

More like 58k after taxes. And you won't find me arguing against the fact that we're in an affordability crisis. 58k should get you a house or the pay should be enough to get a house. But that goes for everyone in the working class, not just garbage collectors.
