We have no annual inspections, only limited emissions tests inside two major metro areas.

University boards and administration don't care about students, it's all about empire building and increasing personal salaries.

Oregon does all commercial vehicles based on weight-mile-axle taxes. More weight, more axles, more miles, all increase the tax burden proportionally. Then you buy PUC credited diesel with no state gas tax. Works fine and can be extended to electric vehicles fine.

The issue I'll take with it is the filing and monitoring system they'll try to make private citizens do, which options are limited to either direct government GPS tracking (fuckkkk no) or an inefficient bureaucratic hellhole of odometer pictures (will cost additional tens of millions to administer). The Oregon system works fine because commercial vehicles are fairly strictly regulated, but that will break down with the general public.

This makes more sense when they show that image of his social media post.

It wasn't about the tattoo or the rock out hand gesture. It was skin color.

They don't care that it might disproportionately affect their base anymore, because they now think they don't need their base of pesky voters.

I'm sure there will be a lot of, well, let's say "visual inspection" going on to enter these town halls, if you catch my drift. It probably won't matter if you claim to be a Republican but are brown, black, female, or under the age of 50.

Fuck being "wasteful". It makes consumers think twice about buying one, which is the actual intended consequence.

Elope doesn't care about the insurance payout on a handful of undelivered units. Theres been like <30 cars burnt so far. Manufacturers lose hundreds of vehicles to random damage and acts of god every year.

But the brand damage and resulting tens of thousands of lost sales caused by consumers seeing this and thinking "I may be a target if I buy this car".... THAT makes a dent in the bottom line, and is market pressure working as intended.
