Eh, but how do we rank if you are flush with disposable income?

I am curious how else we would describe the direction of circular motion

What if I want to know the time?

Technically it’s the only kind of correct. Technically.

I love this comment because I learned something.

From the article, “Supporters of such programs argue that they stimulate the economy: “The level of impact and the amount of benefits the film tax credit brings to Massachusetts is immeasurable, creating local jobs and boosting overall economic activity in our cities and towns,” state House Speaker Ronald Mariano (D–Quincy) said in 2021 after the legislature voted to make the credits permanent.”

The fallacy:

"Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James Goodfellow, when his careless son has happened to break a pane of glass? If you have been present at such a scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the fact that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty of them, by common consent apparently, offered the unfortunate owner this invariable consolation – “It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Everybody must live, and what would become of the glaziers if panes of glass were never broken?”

Now, this form of condolence contains an entire theory, which it will be well to show up in this simple case, seeing that it is precisely the same as that which, unhappily, regulates the greater part of our economical institutions.

Suppose it cost six francs to repair the damage, and you say that the accident brings six francs to the glazier’s trade – that it encourages that trade to the amount of six francs – I grant it; I have not a word to say against it; you reason justly. The glazier comes, performs his task, receives his six francs, rubs his hands, and, in his heart, blesses the careless child. All this is that which is seen.

But if, on the other hand, you come to the conclusion, as is too often the case, that it is a good thing to break windows, that it causes money to circulate, and that the encouragement of industry in general will be the result of it, you will oblige me to call out, “Stop there! Your theory is confined to that which is seen; it takes no account of that which is not seen.”

It is not seen that as our shopkeeper has spent six francs upon one thing, he cannot spend them upon another. It is not seen that if he had not had a window to replace, he would, perhaps, have replaced his old shoes, or added another book to his library. In short, he would have employed his six francs in some way, which this accident has prevented.[1] "

The commentors point: This is a dumb excuse to spur the economy and if they want to do that there are better more direct and impactful ways to spend that money.

Bro. He’s on the BoD.

Yeah. I don’t think banks will give a shit as long as the properties are insured. The banks worry is probably shifted to making sure that the insurer has enough capital not to go under in the event of a single catastrophic event where the insurer goes bankrupt.

Can you elaborate what your point is?

I think PHEVs are the perfect way to get people over range anxiety. I know my Volt has effectively a gallon of gas worth of range or 40 miles. That’s enough range to do 90% of the driving I do in a week if I charge after drive. Groceries, daycare, and work (1 way, with charging stations). I think a lot of families are used to having my car and my spouses car where now it’s looking like EV for short local trips and ice for longer trips. I think PHEVs will help teach folks about what kind of range they actually need even if they are charging at home everyday.

Now we have the luxury of a garage, which seems like a major hurdle to mass adoption. More so, than range anxiety.

Hurdles from my perspective :

1. Price, Price, Price

2. No Garage These are tied together as the people who can afford a garage are the same people that can likely aslp afford an EV. Similar target markets.

3. High Used Prices

4. Low Supply

5. Drivers own lack of awareness of their driving habits.

Red Herring in the media: Our grid can’t handle it!

This is something I hear my boomer mother say even though she’s a perfect candidate for an EV.
