Completely agree with Robbie here. There seems to be a lot of wishful thinking or hot takes that the FEOC language isn't so bad. As someone who spent the last 2 years trying to implement much simpler, more straightforward language for vehicle batteries, I'm here to say: that is wrong.
Every single investor memo I’ve seen so far has completely misread the “material assistance” FEOC language from Ways and Means and drastically understated its potential impact. @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social got it dead on in his piece today. Suggest everyone read it. heatmap.news/politics/hou...

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week.

They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions.

Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.
