Median I meant. Its also significantly cheaper for housing in mississippi. Taxes are definitely cheaper there, where given your dollars value more of your taxes fall under a lower tax bracket, and if I'm not mistaken Mississippi just cut their income tax entirely.

Again this is the worst US state we are comparing to, I'm not trying to pump them up as something amazing.

Ban new nuclear development and direct federal investment exclusively to proven, cost-effective renewable energy solutions

Banning the most green solution while pushing wind and solar, which require expensive investments into backup power like coal to deal with brownouts, is a foolish idea. That makes me rank you a 0.

Why should the poor fund the rich to replace their 3 year old Lexus with an EV, surely funding mass transit makes far more sense?

Why do we even want to push car centric urban sprawl in the first place during a massive housing shortage where everything should be being rezoned for density, or the fact we are borrowing public money that we then pay perpetual interest on to gift to for-profit corporations. This whole thing is messed up, and its no wonder Canada has so many problems when our politicians are this corrupt.
