“Who cares about all those poors, right?”
- kortilla 5y ago“Who cares about climate change when it means I’ll have to take the bus or apply for some electric car subsidy, right?”
- eru 5y agoPlease don't argue in favour of electric car subsidies (or any other subsidies). That's just needless paperwork, and never catches all use cases. Eg the guy who walks doesn't get an electric car subsidy. Or the guy who practices hypermiling on his ICE, vs the guy who drives his ICE like a maniac. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermiling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermiling Much easier to just apply an emission tax (or a cap-and-trade program) and let people figure it out by themselves without extra paperwork and government favouritism.
