I don’t know anything about EV efficiency, but the rates are inverse, so they are drastically different.

Fish gets 3.3kwh/mile

Peacock gets 4 miles/kwh or 0.25kwh/mile

Diplomacy. They can improve diplomacy. Will they? Absolutely not. But they could.

“Conservitism” to them is synonymous with capitalism first and foremost. In their dichotomy, everything that isn’t that is communism and therefore (since big communist regimes are fascist) fascist.

Yours is a NONargument because it completely kills the discourse.

This you?

They’re also the people that think minimum wage is enough, working a minimum wage job is easy (so much easier than their job), and, have and would never work a minimum wage job in their life.

I absolutely don’t like working. But I like things. My basic needs are insufficient for me to be comfortable and happy.

I would choose to work so I could go to the movies, buy video games, eat and drink decadent things, pursue hobbies, travel, etc.

Enough food, enough shelter, enough mobility, and enough telecommunication ironically isn’t enough for me.

You can tell our society is fucked when the threat of billions of dollars in damages can’t compete with the reward of profit.

There are absolutely people that say, “of course we can’t pay them more, there’s no money to be made!”

This sounds like one of those things where really it’s 2 tiny Midwestern towns whose municipal limits are on either side of a dirt road.

I think if your background is generational wealth, you’re feeling okay

Add ‘landlord’ to the list of unskilled jobs

Classic Ronco politics

Don’t worry about it! Some intrepid American entrepreneur will simply begin producing American EVs immediately.

If modern politics has taught us anything, all you need to do is drop-kick the first domino and the Free Market will do exactly what you want it to do every time with zero follow-up. Society is completely linear like that.

In other news, Canadians average fewer limbs than typical humans but enjoy 4 square kilometers of land per person!

Can you describe a situation where an Oxford comma would be detrimental to a sentence?

Carbon taxes need a caveat that prices cannot change due to the tax. Otherwise it’s just another way for big business to profit.

“We had to raise our prices because of the carbon tax!”

“But the tax is 8% and your prices have gone up 20%”

shrugs “Dunno. Carbon tax.”

I think I saw that guy drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s

Even with those precautions, I wouldn’t characterize it as SUPER affordable. At least closer to a fair trade
