Electric vehicles are peak neoliberalism though. It just outsources the energy production and moves the environmental costs to mines in the congo. The solution is mass transit, not giving tac incentives to people rich enough to own a Tesla.
In that same way, the chips act is there to shield Intel from foreign competitors and allow the USS yombuild up a military supply chain independent of TSMC. It’s super naive to think the Dems passed those to benefit the working poor.
Also, public support for funding Ukraine has been falling and I’m old enough ti remember when the left was categorically against wars. My ass was getting beat by the department of Homeland security while Secretary of State Clinton handed out donuts to Maidan square Nazis.
This comment is not meant to absolve Putin or to say Ukraine’s self defense is immoral–just that the media depictions of good vs evil are far more subtle and nuanced in real life and that Raytheon and Boeing benefit from this conflict more than the Ukrainian civilians who are dying daily.
here’s a really good interview with an actual leftist who participated in the 2014 Maidan square actions and discusses the inciting problems of ethno nationalism and neoliberalism in 2014.
