Seems to me that, generally, lower prices and higher wages are at odds with each other.

Again, that is only for one year. After that year, the cars are back. And, again, that is the equivalent of 6 million cars over 25 years, actually in perpetuity since the emissions will continue to be decreased form the baseline.

This article, by the same authors states that it's the equivalent of 165 million cars for one year. That is close to the 156 million cars that the TheVerge article states and that I calculate as well.

This article agrees with me. However, instead of keeping the 6 million cars off the road til 2050, it calculates keeping 156 million cars off the road for only one year. Still don’t know where the 165,000 figure comes from.
Trump embraces gas guzzlers and air pollution by weakening fuel economy standards

I don't know where NYT gets its 165,000 figure from. On average a passenger vehicle in US emits 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year. Over 25 years (til 2050), that would be 115 metric tons. Given the reduction of 710 million metric tons, that would be equivalent to just over 6 million vehicles.

Median wages are up more than 150% during that period so the only things more expensive are health services and college, by a small amount, relative to wages.

“You know this could be a sign of things to come.” You build a gondola. Fans have easier access to the ballpark. You provide housing, shops, restaurants next to the stadium for people to live and enjoy. “Oh my God, what a f*cking nightmare!”

After playing a game of football without a helmet and pads, I’ve decided that they are no longer protecting me so I’m chucking them.

Hmm...Seems to me the reception of the Nobel Peace Prize is inversely proportional to the level of warmongering the recipient's nation engages in.

“If you have a shortage of workers” but there isn’t a shortage of workers. Currently, the supply of workers is constrained by immigration policies but if you relax those policies there will be a surplus of workers willing to work for slave wages.

If I understand it correctly, I will be paying taxes to give welfare to farmers because the taxes I’m paying are preventing the farmers from selling their produce.
