Why? Washington introduces electric vehicle rebates for low-income households. Why do low-income households need to be saddled with EVs? How are they going to power their cars in their low-income housing? Are their apartments going to be retro-fitted with charging stations? Who's going to service them? Any thoughts about the resale value? Or when a fender-bender junks their lithium battery and suddenly their car is unsafe to drive? Will you buy a used EV from a low-income owner?
Plus:
Half of U.S. households can only afford a $400 car payment. Their options — new or used — are scarce.
Why does Oregon have closed primaries? If I were in control, I'd make it so that if you were Independent, you get to vote for any candidate, Democrat or Republican, Green or Libertarian. Because you are independent. Instead, Oregon shuts you out of everything. Independent is NOT a political party.

The Obamacare gift just keeps giving. Since Obamacare, physicians have had to close independent practices, and work for hospitals or private equity groups. Oregon Medical Group is owned by one of them, Optum, which has a non-compete agreement. So if a physician leaves, they have to hire someone to replace that person quickly, because that doctor can't join a competing group. In this case, 32 providers left in over two years. And since it's hard to hire physicians or nurses to work in Oregon, there are problems. Big problems. People are fleeing this state for a reason, and I would bet that fewer are giving Oregon a look compared to the past.
