Kinda reminds me of Obama and Sloyrenda. Just another case of the Democrats taking care of the rich people they promise to tax and make sure they pay their fair share.

Overheard: “Don’t let anybody hear this but the EV buyers and taxpayers subsidizing them are so screwed.”

This is how real corruption takes place: government cash is ladled out to politically connected contractors who kick back campaign contributions, political support and who provide lucrative sinecures for retiring politicians, their family and staff.

HUD provides a great example. There are innumerable examples of how Dem politicians formed corporations for "urban renewal," got millions in grants and loans from HUD and then folded with no explanation of where the money went. The same is true for "green energy." Billions are ladled out, the money disappears, and the company goes tits up with zero accountability.

This is also why almost all whatever corruption is involved in Ukraine funding takes place in DC, not in Kiev.

...dependent on taxpayer handouts...

Taxation without representation. These liberal dems progressive programs do not represent my interests.

John Podesta, President Biden's clean energy czar,

John Kerry is the CLIMATE czar. Different thing, different czar.

But I am confused. I thought John Podesta was the Clinton Pizza Guy, in charge of lining up little illegal alien kids for both Clintons. You would think that Billy would be looking for an outlet now that his buddy Jeffrey Epstein. JP seems like a busy guy.

“no explanation of where the money went.”

Speaking of that, the US debt hit ONE trillion in 1982. We’ve wasted THIRTY TWO trillion of debt since then. What did we get for that staggering debt? Where did it go?

Government mandates, government subsidies, and government ignorance combined with the “battery problem” are killing the market and is even before you deal with the massive infrastructure shortcomings, the lack of recycling, fires, the inability to repair the vehicles, cost to replace batteries, rising insurance rates, and the fact that we are giving a large amount of our “green” (money) to the reds (CCP) who own the market.

Have you been to DC lately? Looked at the net worth of billionaires during all of this chaos?

I do see a lot of the Rivian suv’s here in Atlanta. Nice looking though I prefer my Ford F-150.

the name John Podesta and the word ‘clean’ in the same sentence is a bit too jarring for me. he exudes corruption and shadiness from his pores.

Good post.

.Gov is a shell game—they keep moving the “corruption” pea from agency to agency. If they move it quick enough any future investigators will be “too late”.

I had no idea John Podesta was anywhere near this administration. Should have known - they’re like lice....

I’m thinking Lucid.
They make a nice car but way out of the price range for any but the elite.
