Comment Re:We have at least four years (Score 1) 10

Imagine if instead of the left spending the last ten years campaigning to ban Christmas and force women to allow men into their bathrooms, they'd been campaigning against the power of billionaires.

If the Woke left didn't exist, billionaires would have had to invent it.

Oh, hang on, in many cases they did.

Comment Re:What is "oversupply"? (Score 1) 148

What exactly does it mean to "oversupply" something? The only way I can interpret that is they make so many cars and batteries that inventory hangs out in warehouses, unable to be sold at any price. How exactly is that bad for consumers?

That is the argument Milton Friedman made.

"But, but, but, monopolies!" I hear people sputter. Yes, companies trying to compete with them now may fail.

Sounds like you know what the problem is. Think of it like the DeBeers diamond cartel on steroids.

When the subsidies stop, I'm confident new companies will pop up to fill the void.

Then the subsidies will start again until those new companies disappear.

Yes, it belongs to Congress, not the President. Executive orders are literally orders given by the President to the executive branch of the federal government.

So the effectiveness of an executive order is very questionable in this case. If a state passes a law, what's the executive order going to do? Send the Army to invade? What could go wrong?
