It’s the same team sport politics that MAGA supporters engage in.

If it was as unimportant as you think it is, it wouldn’t be getting ruled on by SCOTUS. It absolutely does matter, especially with groups like the right who continually challenge laws to find ways to loosen or completely negate them.
Because road funding is derived from car registration, states absolutely require you to register your car there if you live and use the car there. The fact that some states allow you to register your car with them even if it’s not your primary residence doesn’t negate this fact. That’s likely for wealthy people who may have multiple homes and cars that they don’t use in other states. This doesn’t mean you can legally register your car in NY when you really live in Iowa to get away from having to register it in Iowa. Iowa is still going to want their registration fees and if police see you driving said NY plated car over and over in Iowa, you’re probably going to get ticketed for it especially if you have an Iowa license.
The blog is a gross simplification compared to what? All you’re offering is your personal theories on how things work.
Like when he broke up the rail union strike shortly before that horrible train crash in Ohio that unleashed toxic black clouds over the town?
because he actually cares about what the Constitution stands for
I think you’re just projecting your own beliefs onto him. I seriously doubt any politician at this level gives two shits about anything but themselves and their power.
But they’re not illegal things according to the highest court in the nation. That’s the entire point.
Yes pretty much across the board: https://www.carparts.com/blog/where-do-i-register-my-car-if-i-have-homes-in-two-states/#What_To_Do_If_Youve_Recently_Moved_Into_A_New_State
This references moving to a new state but the same rules apply whether you’re moving to a new state or residing in the same state but buying a new vehicle.
Yes, out of hundreds of millions of people, he is the only person who can do the job. In 2028, we’ll have to close the country since nobody else is capable.
I like how this interaction started as an argument and ended with recommendations for a good, used car.
It’s illegal. You’re required to register your car in your own state typically within 30 days.
It isn’t even noted until the very end of the article that this woman, the dead man, and the house full of drunk people who drove there after getting fucked up at the bar were all police officers. This is the reporting bias that people talk about when they talk about police coverage in the media.
Not so much anymore after kicking a bunch of people off their plans when they had guaranteed pricing along with a bunch of other shitty shenanigans they’ve been up to as of late. I’ve been a customer for close to 20 years but am thinking about jumping ship as of late.
This isn’t protectionism for US companies it’s protectionism for the automotive industry as a whole in the US including manufacturing and sales of foreign brands like Toyota, Hyundai, and BMW. Domestic companies only account for a fraction of cars built and sold here.
This doesn’t work as you getting pulled over with a WA ID in a car registered in Mexico is going to raise suspicions.
God I’ve been watching through Bleach and it’s like this. Each 22 minute episode is really only about 12 minutes long with the rest being a 5 minute recap of the previous episode, the intro, credits, and post credit filler.
Edit: a tangent of this would be watching a sitcom with the laugh track removed. Imagine seeing the actors awkwardly standing there in silence in the middle of their dialog where the laugh track would normally be inserted.
A funny second tangent is the musicless music videos on YouTube. Definitely worth checking out for a laugh.
And lemmings and redditors will blame progressives for it.
I think we’ll first have to convince the Democratic leadership since they’re about as equally interested in changing things. Both parties want to maintain the status quo because it keeps them both in power.
Again, I don’t know why you’re so fixated on the few American companies on the market when this is about the entire industry in the US, of which American cars make up maybe 25%. This protects that 25% plus the other 75% of non-American companies.
You’ll have to point out where I made the argument that there are equivalent new American EVs selling for the same price as these highly subsidized Chinese EVs. I don’t recall ever saying that since this is the whole crux of the argument. If everyone were able to sell their cars as cheap as these highly subsidized vehicles, the US and EU wouldn’t even need to impose tariffs nor would China need to subsidize their offerings. This is a complete strawman.
If you care about the environment and want a cheap EV go buy a used Nissan Leaf for $7k. It has already been built and won’t generate new emissions in order for you to purchase it.
I really can’t comprehend why people think this is protectionism for US automakers as there are very few of them, GM, Ford, and Tesla. There are over a dozen more that aren’t US companies that still manufacture here that such a tariff would also protect, which is why people are talking about protecting the market not a couple of US companies.
How does nationalizing the auto industry fix anything and what companies are you even talking about here?
You talk about the modern era and what people want but this is in stark contrast to what these same people actually buy. You act like people are forced to buy the vehicles that sell the best when in reality it’s a voluntary decision and they sell the best because that’s what people want.
What you’re arguing for here is exactly the same thing that companies like Walmart do to small towns when they move in. Suddenly every local competitor is out of business, their employees wind up working for Walmart and spending their Walmart pay on items from Walmart. The town suffers while the owners prosper. This is like the textbook definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face all so you can selfishly and ignorantly buy a new car at a discount price.
This isn’t “out-competing the US market,” it’s the Chinese government decimating the US market and then controlling it. Your solution seems to be raising taxes or cutting services in order to funnel taxpayer money toward automotive companies. Sounds like something Trump would come up with. Why don’t you stop beating around the bush and just say you think we should bust up the unions and slash worker pay so that we can have cheaper cars and win this race to the bottom?
It’s 2016 all over again.
