I mean billionaires have stocks that are worth a billion. They don’t have a billion dollars. So you are essentially taxing money that doesn’t exist. So where does the money come from?

But how does that help everyone? If we nationalized the stocks, the value is then like Tesla would go from pe 300 to pe 30. It would wipe out 800 million overnight just on that one company.

It’s not, not the problem is trying to tax wealth, specifically unraised gains from stock value is a problem no one knows how to solve.

If you tax unraised gains, the cost ultimately goes to the customer. And it’s you force them to sell the stocks, it would crash the bubble economy and they will just find another alternative to stock assets. It would basically be perks retirements paying for the tax. The money comes from somewhere when you tax money that doesn’t exist.

Since billionaire don’t have a billion dollars she is literally right as well.

Yes i agree, fuck those city workers. They don’t need a retirement.

Or you can kick the can down the road and hope you have enough money later, but don’t worry that is a problem our kids will pay for.

Wait till she finds out most billionaire didn’t have a billion dollars

But he did it by not adding more money to your pension programs. The tax the rich part only made about 5% on the gap

No, i have American healthcare so i pay a bunch for insurance and can’t afford to see the doctor anyways so i had a few strokes.

It with crash harder is there didn’t have private.

The problem is single player isn’t forever. Look at Germany. The entire healthcare system is on the verge of collapse.

I’ve owned a few evs, and im a fleet analyst for a 600 vehicle California government fleet. I can give you a few pointers for your next car after the Prius dies if you want to go full EV. I highly recommend buying used, and soon because a lot of EVs come off leese this month that is going to flood the market.

2024 Hyundai ionic 5 is an amazing little SUV, charges fast, and my only complaint is the infotainment screen is cheap, low res, and Hyundai is slow with updates. For 20 grand for a low mileage (20-30k) you can’t go wrong.

2023 Hyundai ionic 6, cute little car with all the same features as the previous car, and because the new version is out, you can snag these just as cheap. Very good kw/mil efficiency as well because it’s smaller.

Hyundai Kona, skip this, this is the point where price and quality/features start taking to much of a hit. Just go with the ionic 5.

Subaru solterra, didn’t touch this with a 10 ft pole, including the Toyota version. These car compliance vehicles, nothing more. Overpriced for 10 yr old ev tech.

Tesla, you seriously can’t go wrong. You can get used teslas from the app, but expect to pay 30k for anything lower mileage or a few years old. 20k is going to be half a decade old with 100k miles.

2022-2023 chevy bolts/euv. You can snag these very cheap, 16-20k depending on mileage. They are reliable, but lacking in the driver assist features unless you buy the top end models, and even then they are pretty basic. The speakers suck, but the infotainment screen is very good. Very slow charging for today’s standards, about 1-1.5 hrs on a fast charger. This is a deal breaker for some, but if you can deal with that and only drive in a 250 mile radius, this is perfect little car for rock bottom prices.

Chevy equinox - faster charging then the bolts by 3x, but basically the same thing in a different body. Can’t go wrong because you can find these in t the e 20k range occasionally as well. Highly recommend.

Chevy blazer, the wannabe tesla Y, but they have taken a huge depression hits that they are very good for the money used.

Ford F150 lightning. Don’t bother, it’s already discontinued and the ones on the road spend now time at the dealer waiting parts then actually driving.

Volkswagen or fiat, didn’t bother, overpriced for less features, shitty range… Most of these car compliance vehicles.

Bmw I3, this isn’t a full EV, it’s an extended range EV. They are really cheap now, and are pretty good. My daughter has one of these. My only complaint is the gas tank size, this was to meet epa regulations at the time. You can mod them with a larger tank very easily and triple the generators run time. If you are car savvy and don’t mind modding your cars, this is a goody looking, but cool project.

I got 4.5k rebate from CARB, 3.5 k from my local air district, 7.5k from feds, 6.5k checy cash back, and 2k from chevy to install a charger. and my wife got 12k from a turn in gas for EV program and the 4k used ev federal credit.

Those programs are gone now, but they were active in 2022, 2023 when i bought the cars.

Radical rad more like it

My ev is only 4 yrs old, and costs less to operate than a 15 yr gas car.

You choose that. I’ll stick with my EV that is affordable.

It costs me $0.04 a mile to drive me EV. ($0.17kw/hr) And my car lost (msrp 36k - rebates - resell)/4 yrs ownership = $125 a month depreciation. I’ve done zero maintenance and chatted out the wiper blades once.

My total cost is ownership per month is $220 bucks, including insurance, power, maintenance, depreciation.

I have no idea how y’all afford gas cars at this point . I don’t make that kind of money

No one wants American cars except Americans

But he has already secured the funding. They cant continue construction because of the lawsuit.

He’s not the one stopping construction, is the Democrat lawsuit.
