“Rather see the money go to him than the Teacher’s unions or something. He actually produces.”

Teacher’s Unions produce as well. They produce liberals.

When you get down to it one doesn’t really have to choose between A or B getting fed money.

I’m just a big space fan and if Musk can get us to the moon or Mars quicker, I won’t complain if he gets fed money.

Yeah, I suppose there are many ironies here, not the least of which is that Ueber futurist Musk is relying on 125 year-old nineteenth century technology...and government grants.

Some guys get things done. Some guys deride those who do. You appear to be in the latter category.

Please explain your logic. What does ones politics have to do with wanting to own an electric car? I await your reasoned response.

So those Teslas I see all over the road are phantom vehicles?

This never happened? Do you engage in reasoned debate or just throw out insults. Or are you a closet liberal governed by emotions and “feelings” instead of facts?

I’m really mixed on business subsidy/welfare. Definite two-edged sword.
The chemicals used and pollutants released in making the batteries, what’ll be done with dead batteries, and the recharging current sources are the dark side. Similar issues with wind turbines when they get old and fatigued.
