What kind of wicked person is motivated to write this up? Hunched over in his dark cave?
I just visualized myself 20 years in the future, reading this I saw it as the myopic retrograde reactionary writting of a small minded man, that it is. Soon to be lost on the tides of progress.
- skaevola 13y agoA person who is interested in seeing facts come to light? That these facts threaten your progressive future is irrelevant to the morality of that person.
- rattray 13y agoI agree that it was nice to hear the breakdown of Tesla's financial relationship with US governments (federal and state), but the author's tone was remarkably one-sided, in a way that could in fact be described as "wicked", though I think that's taking it a bit far. To me, those numbers were a cause for celebration: wow, our government is actually effectively encouraging a terrific technology and company.
- skaevola 13y agoSure, it's opinionated, but it's only wicked if you think that viewpoints which disagree with your own are evil. And that is an extremely dangerous idea. By the way, I agree with you; subsidies should be used to promote products with positive externalities.
