That was a hell of a ride with a really weird destination.
Do you have a source for this? I really wanted to make some snarky posts pointing this out, but couldn't find mention of it in the summary of changes proposed by the bill:
Somewhere that rising sea levels won't flood you, hopefully.
Passkeys sound great. Where's the support for Firefox, Proton Pass? Bitwarden has it.
Hyperbole much? More damaging than Union Carbide? DuPont? Exxon? BP?
I think you may have made that accusation lightly, or at least without careful consideration.
I think this is a short sighted take. The current batteries being produced will be useful for decades, even if they don't support the full duty cycle for cars during that lifetime. If they degrade to being only able to charge/discharge to 70% of original duty cycle, they can be used for home solar systems in that state for decades. I fully expect this business model of repurposing degraded batteries to emerge as significant numbers of battery electric cars end useful life in a decade or so.
In the meantime, there will be alternative battery chemistry options that will become commercially viable and will continue to improve. A car based on sodium batteries launches in early 2024. It's not as good a range / capacity as lithium chemistry, but that's not going to be the case forever. Battery chemistry will continue to improve rapidly, there's lots of competition in the space and good incentives to drive research.
Also, charging infrastructure continues to improve, battery charge times improve, battery only vehicles becomes a feasible option for more people, utilities introduce time of use plans to incentivize off-hours charging, etc.
Petroleum creates demand for USD which absolves many of our sins. If OPEC starts demanding a different currency for oil payment, that will be a serious problem for the dollar. Right now, that arrangement puts a floor on the price of the dollar.
I assume there will be a new proceeding against her at the Colorado Bar. She's already been censured.
Don't underestimate the ability of Saudi Arabia to give him money.
That's a weird way to spell "pension fund".
If Meadows is 240, I'm thinking Trump is probably over 280

It makes labor more expensive because people will be less desperate for wages.
