Hopefully this isn’t as devastating to vehicle availability as Cash For Clunkers was. Interestingly, green policy of late has been promoting the opposite of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ethos. Perhaps the broken window theory of economics was wrong?
- bagacrap 4y agoAre you referring to the broken window fallacy? Never heard it called a theory

- drak0n1c 4y agoRight the economic one, not the unrelated criminology one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window
- bagacrap 4y agoYes that is the same broken window as the fallacy. So it's famously wrong, not just suddenly discovered to be wrong.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Hopefully this isn’t as devastating to vehicle availability as Cash For Clunkers was. Why would it be? Cash for clunkers was taking old vehicles off the road, this is mandating a different mix for new vehicles. > Interestingly, green policy of late has been promoting the opposite of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ethos. The Reduce, Reuse, Recycle mantra (1) isn’t about climate policy, and (2) was largely a manufacturer-backed propaganda effort to shift blame and policy response for waste stream volume to consumers rather than manufacturers.
