California voters rejected Prop 30, which would have increased taxes on people making over $2 million a year to subsidize electric vehicle purchases for low-income residents, among other climate change fighting measures. Opponents claimed the measure would have been a huge windfall for Lyft, even though it wasn’t really clear how. It’s a weird result, considering the state’s voters handed Lyft (and Uber) a giant win by approving Prop 22 just two years ago. Why so fickle, California?

You’ve probably seen that that Simpsons meme of Apu jumping in front of a bullet that’s commonly deployed against Elon Musk fans who feel the need to come up with weird excuses for every criticism lobbed at their favorite billionaire. Well, they’ve had enough of your snide memes, and dammit if they aren’t going to crowdsource a great rebuttal. Any day now!
