No reason the tax had to scale exactly to match the damage though. At least make it painful enough so people consider whether a larger vehicle is worth it.

I’m surprised that people are surprised that a country would favor it’s own businesses versus foreign ones.

I’m also unsure of which countries act differently from this.

I don’t think I’ve had a Pixel phone that survived much past the two year mark. They’ve all had various issues, either problems with the battery/charging or just dying altogether.

I still use them because you can get them for cheaper than most phones, but “longer lasting” is the last adjective I would use for them.

And they’re still wrong because not everyone is motivated by money.

How many working people are doing it not because of the money but solely because they enjoy the work?
