The Apple Store is a great model. Several demos to try, reasonably informed sales people whose income is not directly dependent on sales. Can go play, cane take home the most popular model or order direct with precision.

Incidentally, luxury brand dealerships are relatively comfortable, even in the used section. I bought a toyota from a lexus dealer and it was the smoothest buying experience Iâ(TM)ve had since I bought a 1950 Ford truck off an old farmer.

It will take way more than that. At the national level, the Democrat party is marginally better at where domestic resources go, but does all the same things just with more decorum and fancier words. Donâ(TM)t believe me? Check changes in net worth of people before and after they take office. Look how many grants flowed to âoewoman ownedâ private equity operations. Look at all the âoeextraordinary renditionâ operations.

Point is, I definitely want the current batch gone. But I want a meaningful replacement as well, and whence my aid?

Would you rather be looking at windmills or oil pumps and refineries?

You say all that like itâ(TM)s worse than the US government subsidies of oil production, financial sectors, and the MIC.

yes, well their portfolios have *both* sports gambling *and* MIC equities and securities. Why would you expect different?

1. Regulatory capture. what you say is true of some consumer retail corps. The bigger ones and the state sanctioned monopolies? They maximize profit service be damned, and they donâ(TM)t care about God, country, family or community.

2. What has CCP done that US govt has not?

They always were, if the retail price of ICE cars and fossil fuels reflected the unsubsidized costs plus all externalities.

> We are at the point where EVs will work for ~70%

I donâ(TM)t buy that. I live in a solid sized city in the downtown. Thereâ(TM)s like 4 chargers. 99% of the nearby apt complexes have no chargers. Thatâ(TM)s more than half the population.

incidentally, single family detached housing is a large part of the reason weâ(TM)re in this mess.

Iâ(TM)d be totally fine with no subsidies, as long as we price in all externalized costs an all products. My guess is small gassers would increase about 50%, full size suvs maybe as much as 200%.

Ehhh, Peter probably robbed Paul already.

A bank teller is a bad analog because of all the actual paper and ink that is a part of that process. Your instinct is probably in the right direction, in that it will probably take a lot of human intervention for processing, even if there werenâ(TM)t tons of political backpressure.

*lucrum ab chao*

Youâ(TM)ll be sad when you start shopping after it dies. Not even the Asians are importing small cars anymore.

Says the guy living in detached single family housing, presumably. For those of us trying to live into more land efficient development, there ainâ(TM)t the charging infrastructure for us. Which would be fine, if there was decent public transit.

Maybe this is less about security and more about who gets paid?
