Sacrifice Inequality





The -50% for "other countries" is, of course, an error. It should be +50%. But there are a lot of errors to share space with. Certainly, the efforts to qualify 'climate change' in a culture that has obvious disdain for rigorous science investigations and has spent months withdrawing studies and reports, bankrupting some journals, and undermining the very notions of science and integrity have damaged such a movement. And the grafting of 'climate change' onto other radical world movements has raised serious questions.

And there is the practical. A 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, announced Tuesday, will make American EV cars more competitive--but at a much higher price. 

As the graph shows, some will sacrifice for the perceived greater global good, and some will not. And the Americans will be doing the sacrificing.
