It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

well they could do subsidies but won't because they are too stupid

They do massive subsidies, Tesla only ever made any money because of carbon credits! They're just trying to squeeze cash out of the consumers too. And it fucking works without an outside competitor

They do them but only in ways as allowed by the byzantine logic of EU bureacracy

The US has absolutely massive subsidies.

Ah but the US is not in the EU

Ok that's true I lost the thread of conversation. Hasn't Germany had some pretty lavish EV subsidies that they're only now phasing out?
