What?
These 2 tweets are NOT at odds with one another, what the fuck?
In the first he is poking fun at Trumps misunderstanding of Tariffs, who pays them, and their purpose.
In the second tweet he says he is using Tariffs to protect our countries interests in those industries.
He doesn’t imply who pays them… can you read? Do you understand what you’re looking at?
He is implying that putting a 100% tarrif on cheap dogshit EV’s made with near literal slave labor negates China’s unfair advantage. Not to mention the Chinese stole the fuck out of the IP required to make them.
Do you like our intellectual property being stolen from us, manufactured via worker exploitation, and then sold back to us on the cheap? If not, you shouldn’t be against this shit.
Fuck man.
So I promise I’m not trying to be a dick, but do you actually understand the results from the articles you posted?
A basic mass balance on the claims implies a very narrow interpretation of “emissions”. It doesn’t even pass the most basic sniff test, come on.
Not only do those articles completely ignore CO2, what about the energy required to manufacture and transport the fuel in the first place?
Those studies focus on NOx emissions, a very small subset of overall environmental impact. They basically cherry pick the fuck out of what consitutes as an “emission”, and ignores the massive difference in greenhouse gasses produced.
There are claims that running a leaf blower for 30 minutes produces as much “emissions” as driving a Raptor like 1 thousand miles.
Lmao, if you think a quarter gallon of gas from the leaf blower is “worse” than 100 gallons of fuel the truck would burn, you have to be mad.
Think about it for more than a couple seconds.
And even funnier about this, the solution for this shit is already here. Aside from commercial landscaping companies, electric is already taking over. Its basically a non-issue as far as realists are concerned.
