All true… I’m just pointing it out because people are constantly railing about how the donation is supposedly a “free writeoff for the big businesses!111” when in reality isn’t true. I hate shitty big restaurants as much as the next guy but this ain’t it

You only get a percentage, depending on your state. It’s not much… not many people bother (big market for boomers lol)

When you’re at a fast food drive thru and they offer to round up for a charity cause, YOU can claim that write-off donation on your taxes, not the restaurant. Of course virtually nobody would do that unless you save your receipts and tally them up next year… but you can!

So true… for me personally, I’d love to have a battery EV vehicle, but i just want a regular vehicle with a battery powerplant. I don’t want a mobile IOT advertising surveillance DRM non-repairable planned-olsolescence mobile which is how so many new vehicles are designed.

You’re absolutely correct - I toured the ULA Decatur booster faculty mere days ago. There’s spaceforce-branded parts bolted onto Centaur rockets using Russian engines all over the place. Now to be fair they also have an engine made in Washington too but this stuff takes a looooong time to make any changes.
