“”If California was this stupid a hundred and fifty years ago, we’d still have blacksmiths making horse shoes””
I often use the concept of subsidies for horseshoes as a way to demonstrate the insanity of subsidies. I used to point out almost every EV we would spot on the road, stating something close to ‘there is another EV we helped purchase.’ My family and friends eventually asked me to stop pointing them out; not because they were mad at me, but they were incensed that we taxpayers all pay for a portion of the EV.
Great comment...
