Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it’s not yet hit home where their dollars are going…or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?
Applying this consistently to all daily transactions is not feasible, of course. But if it were, the world would be a much better place. I definitely try to do it where possible, and by focusing on bigger purchasing decisions you can make a bigger difference so the work isn’t as much overall as analyzing every tiny transaction.
In an ideal world, I agree that would be best. But what about when the vendor is a bad person doing a good thing? That’s what’s happening here.
Yeah then it’s more complicated. I’d say as long as you’re buying another electric vehicle, it’s probably good not to give Musk any more money. But deciding between a gas vehicle or a Tesla, I’d still lean towards Tesla.
