    … I was saying this was a bad idea when it was being workshopped/introduced… because exactly what is happening now is what … I said would probably happen… as I was getting my Econ degree during the 08 financial crash.

    I also still think Cash for Clunkers was a bad idea.

    Fucked over the used car market, fucks over the poor who couldn’t afford anything better, EVs and Hyrbrids were waaay more expensive back then, only benefitted the better off who just had a car laying around that they didn’t use.
