  1. You can't have it both ways. You can use annual data, monthly data, or rolling data, but you can't just cherry-pick data. If you want to go by month, fine, but it looks like market share dropped 4% in a month. Car buying is seasonal. Indeed, it is, but as the market matures, at least in a couple years, at least short term, I would expect to an oversupply of used EVs, just because the technology is changing faster than ICEVs. More people wanting new ones, older units becoming less desirable. Who is buying EVs? It's likely not the poor. Long term I would not see it as an issue.
  2. The part that shows how throwing money at the poor helps them. So education, healthcare, daycare would all be much better if only they had more money? And you are like someone that can only come up with "because" for an answer.
  3. Like your link. I am happy to read and respond to anything you write. You can make it long and complex, it's fine. Not so. From your link: "A key part of Biden's new economic policy agenda is a billionaire's tax, which would set a minimum tax for the wealthiest Americans, the White House said. The Biden administration has offered scant details about the proposal, but it appears to closely resemble a policy that Biden put forward last March. At that time, he called for a tax rate of at least 20% on Americans who bring in at least $100 million per year." So, all it said was Biden wants to tax the rich, and it's just the author guessing what the plan might be. It goes on to say how Biden is a capitalist, tells a few lies about the tax code and then claims Biden thinks everyone (except apparently Hunter) should pay their fair share. Which will likely cost working class Americans a lot more than it will billionaires. Then the go on to say that the greedy Republicans will kill it anyway. The article is a puff-piece to make Biden look like he cares about working family's. I'm with you on that brother. You can continue making stuff up.
  4. No, you did not explain it, and I said as much at the time. You seem to think the numbers are all constant, and that it's a zero-sum game. Typical one stage thinking. Yes, if only the left had more money, it would be utopia.
  5. I never argued that the definition of rich is not subjective. You made that up. I said it was not subjective in the context of the discussion, which you later proved by providing a number.
  6. ~15.5 million new cars sold in the US in 2023 ~651 thousand new cars sold in Thailand in 2023 ~1.2 million EVs sold in the US in 2023 ~74 thousand EVs sold in Thailand in 2023 The Thailand market is ~4.2% of all cars sold in the US The Thailand market is ~6.2% of EVs sold in the US Thailand is not a big car market. I think used cars in Thailand historically have depreciated much slower than they do in the US. I can't speak to EV depreciation specifically, but it looks like cars are depreciating more quicky in Thailand now than they used to. People wanting to buy EVs may or may not have something to do with that.
  7. I don't think I ever said they were not. As I remember, I responded to a thread that said a few things, and my response was that I would not bet on it. I never said Trump could not win. I would like to see him win, but I do not see it. Believe me, I hope I am wrong. Generally, I do not bother reading links people do not bother to explain, because what usually happens, is that they google-up a headline, and pretend it supports their argument, but it almost never does. Then when you call them on it, they lie and say it did, and or post another link to a headline they google-up.
  8. We used CO2 for in production for galvanized, painted and rusty. Burns the coating off very well, but we used anti-spatter with it. I think a lot of robotic welders use an Ar, CO2 and O2 tri-mix, I know ours did. The O2 really speeds it up.
  9. Still lying I see. that all you have. I read it, and it looked like a lot more people than that would be taxed. You couldn't answer them the first time, and you still can't, but pretend you did. Typical.
  10. So, you didn't read it. A lot of that going around.
  11. I don't see Trump winning. What does your link say about it? Did you read it?
  12. I don't see Trump winning. What does your link say about it? Did you read it?
  13. Do you have any idea what taxes Trump cut? I think not. I bet you know nothing about it, you just regurgitate a leftist talking point, and will post a link to somthing you haven't read or read and did not understand. “So long as the gap is smaller, they’d rather have the poor poorer.”
  14. Everyone on the left, and even the "data driven centrists" want higher taxes. “So long as the gap is smaller, they’d rather have the poor poorer.”
  15. Wow, how insightful.
  16. I think you're right about India.
  17. And there're millions of police interactions not on YouTube that go perfectly fine. Do you have an example of the "...hundreds of YouTube videos showing the police abusing their powers and acting like Nazis and complaints fall on deaf ears."?
  18. What does that have to do with what I said?
  19. Sorry, same link I posted earlier. The Fed - Distribution: Distribution of Household Wealth in the U.S. since 1989 (federalreserve.gov)
  20. I see chargers at most all the stations I stop at. No one had to mandate gas stations
  21. Okay, let's recap: Under the Biden Administration: Top 0.1 % wealth increased 8.5%, or over 6 times as much as the bottom 50% 99-99.9% wealth increased 7.8% or over 5 times as much as the bottom 50% 90-99% wealth increased 5.7% or over 4 times as much as the bottom 50% 50-90% wealth increased 4.4% or over 3 times as much as the bottom 50% Bottom 50% wealth increased 1.4% Under the Trump Administration: Top 0.1 % wealth increased 18%, or less than a third the rate the bottom 50% grew 99-99.9% wealth increased 20% or less than a third the rate the bottom 50% grew 90-99% wealth increased 20% or less than a third the rate the bottom 50% grew 50-90% wealth increased 19% or less than a third the rate the bottom 50% grew Bottom 50% wealth increased 62% or more than three times the rate of the other income classes You guy crack me up.
  22. Dude, that is rugged
  23. And I bet you, like Bruce or Dandy 1. Can't define rich in the context of the plan. 2. Can't say what taxes he wants to raise, and or by how much. 3. Explain how raising taxes will reduce the gap. Carry on
  24. Another weak dodge. You support Biden's plan to tax the rich and post a link. You claim to understand the plan, yet you: 1. Can't define rich in the context of the plan. 2. Can't say what taxes he wants to raise, and or by how much. 3. Explain how raising taxes will reduce the gap. Typical
