Pure capitalism doesn't need subsidies..and no its not just tax writeoffs....(1 Trillion (yes with a T) in 2022 globally...)

so if we don't want green subsidies (I agree) then guess what? We also don't want oil subsidies, especially for an industry that can clearly stand on its own (after 150 years).

How about NO subsidies?

Wild concept for a country that touts capitalism (selectively of course)...

The consequences of not having the Green Insanity? Nothing

The consequences of not having the right carbon around? Severe

I mentioned before
Get what you can get when you can get it
We all would
It's all to apparent that they only look out for themselves, all the while the non union shops that provide the parts and materials manufacturers need to build these cars, are effected by the grifters they are, that only are looking out for me, myself & I. Their actions have consequences that are far reaching but they could give a flying fornication about anyone else that is effected by their actions.

Pretty sad the unions are that small minded.

So are you saying the ONLY way the century old carbon energy industry "survives" is via -ENDLESS- HANDOUT/SUBSIDIES?

Wow, dude...really?

I thought I understood the fiscal conservative platform. I guess there are exceptions for trillion dollar industries.

Stop spitting out Green talking points, LOL, their bullshit has been debunked. It is easily available and easy to understand. That you fail at a fundamental level to understand how the oil and gas patch supply us with energy at an affordable price is on you. The incorporation/taxes/depreciation rules governing them are meant to do one thing, ensure gas/oil is supplied to industry and consumers in a timely cost-effective manner. Try and wrap your head around why that is a good thing.

Depends what state you live in! I moved from Ohio to the Great State of Florida. Now, no state earnings tax, no county tax, no city tax and tremendously lower property tax. This equates into a huge pay increase, as the taxes hurt, especially the Ohio state earnings tax. The county/state services are actually better in Florida. The question is, why the tremendously high taxes and nothing to show for all the extra tax money???
did ya ever see where yer state representatives live in Ohio...there's plenty to show for it...;)

Did you read what I posted?

I don't believe in ANY subsidies....green or coal black..not very hard to conceptualize

Lot's of phoney conservatives out there.

Hard line capitalistic principals...unless of course it conflicts in some way with personal interests.

2022 CHALLENGER HELLCAT TorRed RED / REDEYE
Could be a protracted strike, demands are insane IMO !!
40% pay bump over 4 yrs
temp & subs get same pay as FT
no step pay based on YOS (i.e. socialist, everyone gets paid the same)
more paid time off

If even 1/2 of that gets implemented expect a HUGE jump in the already stratospheric new car prices we're seeing !!
IMO, will bite the unions in the ass - there will be a slump in sales, layoffs and huge incentive to take plant automation to the next level & bring in AI/robotics.
You are so very right! I'm not paying 10K to 20K more for a domestic auto. I have always bought USA/CANADA built, can't afford to pay people 46 dollars an hour working 4 days a week and getting paid for a 5 day workweek! The day of reckoning is coming. This is a hollow victory.
