Why should taxpayers subsidize someone's dumb decision to buy a Florida beach house?

Price parity is here: new Stellantis crossover is the same price, EV or ICE in c/evs@lemmy.world

Sure, but the article is claiming EV's are now as cheap as ICE, which isn't the case. The price parity is a result of subsidies and mandates. In Calif. we reached price "parity" a long time ago.

California Tries ‘Trump-Proofing’ Its Climate Policies in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I live in one of the blue-ist cities in California and my city council refuses to build any housing near transit or build any bike or dedicated bus lanes. There was also an attempt to use school funds to pay for a new downtown parking garage. At this point, a Trump administration is the least of my climate worries....

'Trump Bible' one of few that meet criteria for Oklahoma classrooms (www.oklahoman.com)
 

Bids opened Monday for a contract to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles. According to the bid documents, vendors must meet certain specifications: Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material.

A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters.

But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.
