So when government took its thumb off the scales, the scales shifted? Okay.
Federal tax credits for clean vehicles expired, including 25E (Used Clean Vehicles), 30D (New Clean Vehicles), and 45W (Commercial Clean Vehicles, which was also used for leases). While these tax credits were initially authorized by Congress to run through 2032, the July 4, 2025, spending bill eliminated them as of September 30th. Vehicles with a signed contract and payment in place by September 30, 2025, are still eligible for these tax credits upon delivery.

Honestly, cryptids seem rather mild by comparison.

What the fuck are you smoking? Can you share? All those big city public schools aren't exactly teeming with MIT alumni. You know who runs big cities, right? This much less of a D or R issue and more of a subjecting kids to yet another thing without proper testing and results first.

What in the actual fuck are those tabs doing eating gigabytes of RAM? And why in the fuck are most Chromium based browser installs now almost a gig of storage?
Never going to say that we can't optimize something better.
But let's get real - the engines have got insanely more capable. We can do things with just CSS now that it took reams of JS to do before, if you could even do them.
But -- we can do that because the browser engine is now capable of it.
