Why businesses should NEVER…

It’s the oldest and most universal rule in selling and business.

NEVER NEVER NEVER get into politics unless you’re a politician.

NEVER NEVER NEVER get into religion unless you’re a preacher.

If you’re selling anything else, cars or food or software, STRICTLY AVOID all political and religious teams. Don’t let anyone even SUSPECT that you’re on one side.

Here’s why.

Before 2024 Elon pretended to be a loyal Gaian because Gaian lunatics are in charge of some big and wealthy states. Tesla gained tremendous subsidies and tax credits for its supposed loyalty to Gaian doctrine.

In 2024 Elon switched his pretense. Now he’s pretending to be a Trumpan instead of a Gaian. The former lovers feel betrayed. Owners are selling the cars, stockholders are discarding the stock, governors are revoking the subsidies and placing new taxes on Tesla.

The Wash “state” lunatics have quickly and firmly revoked their former Gaian credit, with a new provision that only applies to Tesla. Why the change? Of course it has nothing to do with Elon’s team switch. How dare you suggest that a politician is POLITICAL!!!!! Such blasphemy!

No, the reason is purely economic, but by some mysterious coincidence we never noticed the economic problem with this subsidy until now.

= = = = = START IDIOT:

Tesla, which only manufactures electric cars, is racking up major surpluses in ZEV credits that it has been selling to other companies for years. Politico estimates that Tesla has earned $10.7 billion through selling climate credits, and they represented an estimated 43% of the company’s profits in 2024. Multiple outlets called the credits “pure profit” for the company.

“We never intended for this program to be a source of windfall profits for one manufacturer,” said the bill’s prime sponsor, Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon (D-Seattle). HB 2077 places an excise tax on the sale of ZEV credits, and also on credits that a company banks for the future.

= = = = = END IDIOT.

What he means is: “We never intended a windfall for a Republican company. We intended a windfall for a Democrat company.”
