Hm. I’d be interested in seeing anything backing that up. You’ve just broadly stated that “ineffective” tax policies don’t work well, and I feel that is sorta in the name. Is there any line of reasoning that would make “wealth taxes” ineffective?

I don’t know much at all about the EV industry, especially how their technology differs between manufacturers. But does that really matter, strictly speaking? Like the majority of “other” repairs are going to be just as uniform as traditional vehicles; things like tire changes, brakes, suspension, and whatever else I’m not smart enough to know about.

Other than the actual engine itself, can that other stuff really be fully proprietary, or non-servicable?

EDIT: I’m realizing that I didn’t really clarify the distinction of “should” vs “does”. I recognize that a huge amount of right to repair bullshit comes from companies being intentionally obtuse/greedy. What I meant to question was whether these restrictions on serviceability actually have merit, or if it’s strictly enshittification being brought into the auto world.

Truthfully, it’s far from relevant that the kid is autistic.

If you drag a child by the ankle, especially as a teacher, you’re a 100% piece of shit.

I find the most straightforward response is, “would you do/say that when you’re having a bad day? Because I don’t think I would”
