Rant: my town's e-bike rebate wiped out in 40 minutes, and I can't decide if that's a win or a mess
Last Tuesday at 9am, Portland opened 500 e-bike rebates worth $1,200 each and the whole pile was gone by 9:40. Half of me says that proves people actually want to ditch cars, but the other half watched a guy on Reddit brag about snagging one for a bike he's flipping on Craigslist. Should these programs go lottery style, income based, or straight first come first served?

Income based makes more sense here since flippers ruin it for people who actually need the help.
