      They’re just complaining incoherently and counter-productively about coupons for bikes. The obfuscatory terminology (eg. demand side policy, perverse incentives) indicates a lib brainwashed by economic pseudo-science. There’s nothing “perverse” about riding bikes and saving the planet. It’s just nonsense econ jargon developed precisely to serve capital/cars. Note the extreme lack of any better idea.

      Bonus boomer points for hating on solar panels.

        Lib. Right. Me arguing that direct industry incentives ala China and India to actually solve your problems from a supply side instead of demand side incentives that just enrich middlemen while solving Jack Shit is totally a neolib position, not a materialist heterodox one.
