Why the hell didn’t we subsidize our EV-building and clean energy industries like China did?

Big oil?

Sure, but in a more general sense, capitalists. The bourgeois Founding Fathers created a government for themselves, and the bourgeoisie have kept it. “Bourgeois Democracy”: What Do Marxists Mean by That Term?

Yep. Capitalists in the US stand above its political system, and the oil and US auto industries oppose green energy.

It's not just at the national level, but at the local one too. Petro-profits even dictate how US cities are laid out.

What the fuck is "insideevs.whatever" and why is their take relevant to anything?

That's not purely a complaint about source, I sure as hell can't keep track of every valid and useful site on every subject. Is there a reason their opinion matters?

It's a site that reviews EVs, and they've been around for a while.
