The incredible efficiency of removing Tesla from the market is unmistakably better for consumers.

Lawmakers are working on a plan to shut down Tesla dealerships in New York State. …licenses could then be redistributed to other electric-vehicle manufacturers, like Lucid, Rivian and Scout Motors, a Volkswagen affiliate that also uses direct-to-consumer sales.

It doesn’t get much more efficient than that. Tesla is just toxic waste, like an oil spill, and nobody wants it to continue sucking the life out of markets.

Musk is “part of an administration that is killing all the grant funding for electric vehicle infrastructure, killing wind energy, killing anything that might address climate change,” the lawmaker said. “Why should we give them a monopoly?”

If you let oil spill, there’s nothing but oil left. If Nazis are allowed to march, pretty soon there’s nothing but Nazis in power. NY has seen this story before. Mayor LaGuardia didn’t mess around.

Historians David and Jackie Esposito have written, “In the face of large scale indifference to human rights violations abroad and growing isolationism at home … LaGuardia reasserted a Progressive’s faith in the rule of reason and the power of enlightened public opinion to face up to the Nazis and confront Hitler.” When the U.S. entered the war in 1941, LaGuardia’s principled position was vindicated.

Time for another principled cleanup.
