Cheaper for the consumer to purchase, I have my suspicions.

Why would it be cheaper to produce, but more expensive to purchase? Because of bullshit rules that will not be long lived.

The great thing is that it won't matter. EVs are going to become extremely cheaper and more efficient, making them the clear choice over the next couple years.

The words "universal" and "income" are so charged now. A lot of people dismiss it immediately as "unearned".

I agree we need a universal basic income, I refer to it as "automation compensation". It only works if corporations and investors are banned from owning residential homes. Also we need to construct an abundance of efficient high rises to ensure there's more than enough availability. In order for basic necessities like housing, electricity, water, and food are met, we need the infrastructure plan to guarantee availability. Otherwise, a UBI will just drive up costs because owners and sellers will account for that extra money people can spend.

Doubt it, don't think Bezos or Musk give a single shit what you think.

Funny, tell that to the billionaires who have a private jet.
