Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022, which allocated millions to combating climate change and other energy provisions while additionally establishing a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles. To qualify for the subsidy 40% of the critical minerals used in electric-vehicle batteries must be sourced in the U.S. EU and South Korean officials argues that the subsidies discriminated against their automotive, renewable-energy, battery and energy-intensive industries. Proponents argue that the tax credits will help combat climate change by encouraging consumers to purchase EVs and stop driving gas powered automobiles. Opponents argue that the tax credits will only hurt domestic battery and EV producers.

now these subsidies are starting to look like another form of coercion. If you dont do X .. we'll charge you more.. but if you do what we want we will give you a gold start and some cash back.
Does our government actually know any other way than bullying and coercion via our only means of survival (money) that the system has forced upon us all? Seriously the government every day is looking more and more like a husband who controls is wife. Go look at services australia description of domestic abuse and you see ALL the tactics government deploy and entertain deploying upon its people. Our politicians now seem to be made up of abusers of trust and power.
