The letters to the editor express differing views on government involvement in business and infrastructure projects. One letter criticizes continued taxpayer support for Elon Musk and Tesla, advocating for a phase-out of government incentives. Another defends the California high-speed rail, arguing it will be a valuable long-term investment similar to iconic projects like the Golden Gate Bridge. Lastly, a letter addresses the ethics of U.S. military support to Israel, referencing criticisms from former Israeli leadership regarding actions in Gaza.
"In the early years of Tesla, it was on the brink of bankruptcy. The Obama administration guaranteed Tesla's loan. Both the federal and California governments provided significant incentives to buyers of zero-emission vehicles."
"California high-speed rail will be looked at like the Golden Gate Bridge, the Boston Big Dig and the Hoover Dam; projects worth funding. A bonus to the project is the economic and cultural link that it will create between people living in our major metropolitan areas and the Central Valley."
"Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert condemned his government's actions in Gaza as war crimes, calling it a criminal gang in a May 2025 Haaretz op-ed."
