>The comment painted it as only Republican states being hypocritical I mean, that's the only possible party that _can_ be hypocritical since their platform is, as the OP described, centered around being "pro-business", "small government". The left does not pretend to champion those things. The fact that 7/10 of the total ban states are deep red and the other 3/10 are battleground or middle of the pack blue, seems unquestionably to constitute hypocrisy on the part of those Republican states. For your original counter argument to be true "D bad" we would need to examine whether the premise that total ban === partial ban. This is false on its face. As I pointed out earlier, it's not an accurate observation, no matter how many comparisons are made to irrelevant things like BMW dealership numbers. Ah yes, let's use the extreme outlier where the company is headquartered. Tesla has not built 17 dealerships in every state around the U.S. and certainly has not in every area the size of the Bay Area. While you likely live in the Bay Area, given your propensity to use it as a reference point, those numbers are abnormal when compared to other states: AZ - 6 CO - 6 DE - 1 DC - 1 GA - 4 HA - 2 ID - 1 IN - 2 MA - 5 MI - 1 NV - 2 NC - 2 OR - 2 RI - 1 TN - 2 UT - 1 VA - 3 WY - 1 vs numbers in partial ban (store limit) states: OH - 3 NJ - 4 MD - 4 NY - 5 PA - 5 Makes those partial ban states not look so terrible anymore, right? Certainly that's different from 0. > My contention: C is just the current number. You don't know what C will be in the future. It is bad. You just don't know how bad it will be. In fact, as C grows it get closer and closer to being just as bad. .99999 repeated is mathematically the same number as 1. Look it up. I don't know what C will be in the future, just as you don't know whether NY will increase the number of allowed Tesla locations. We aren't debating the future. We are debating the present. It seems you are unable to have a discussion without utilizing inflammatory or condescending rhetoric in every reply so I'm going to move on. Have a good night.

You still can't read and still can't follow logic and show your bias for the Democratic party. And the Democratic Party is pro environment and isn't hypocritical? > "Seem to be "pro-business", "small government" Republican states." Wait there are Democratic states that do the same. Both partial and total bans. So Democrats aren't hypocritical about being pro environment? > Total bans are worse than partial bans You said that C was not so bad. I said it wasn't knowable and therefore your statement shows your bias since it possible C >> L in the future. So you saying that partial bans is not as bad as total bans doesn't hold. There goes all your counts. In fact, we do know that one state already it has reached its limits. Go look at my guesstimate of Ford dealerships in NY. 200 vs the 5 limit. Have you considered the possibility that the existence of limits dissuades companies from expanding there first? Go look at Texas and Tesla complaining about the total ban. So a limit of 1 would be materially different from 0 when you expect 1 dealership per 20000 people in a state with almost 29 million people? Is NY fine? NY 5 dealerships, population 19.75 million Is Ohio fine? OH 3 dealerships, population 11.74 million Is Pennsylvania fine? PA 5 dealerships, population 13 million No limit: MA 5 dealerships, population 6.794 million So you should expect between 14 and 15 for NY. Too bad Tesla is growing at 50%. So that will be 22 this year. For Ohio, roughly 8 instead of 3. Is that ok? How about with 50% growth? That would be 12. Same with Pennsylvania. Even your numbers make it look pretty bad. Can you hear yourself? They do it. But you do it too. But they are worse. Your emperor has no clothes.
