The media has been covering lots of airline issues lately, and flying is absolutely not a very pleasant experience sometimes. But its always worth pointing out that there have been two (2) passenger deaths due to accidents on US airlines in the last 13 years. That’s about 13 billion seat miles of travel, or 6.5…

It looks good and people like their city to look good. Also good for the already astronomical property values, and good for tourism (which is a huge chunk of revenue for lower market st/fishermans wharf etc) to have another whimsical thing to offer.

uh, this isn’t the Golden Gate, dude. I dont think anyone in SF considers the old half of the Oakland Bay Bridge on the level of the mona lisa, lol.

Hey Andrew,

I beg the media to actually report the science and not just copy/paste the clickbait short form that creates the next flash in the pan craze that ultimately limits peoples trust in science. A depressing percentage of the American population now openly refutes every science article, specifically because the media still…

those are clearly Grotto Beasts

Among the same economic and usability factors that other markets face, American’s are also embroiled in an artificially created culture war which directly impacts the perception of EVs in a lot of markets.

(to be clear, I think some of these rock)

The ban is only for brand new cars, not used. The average new car in America is nearly $50k, and the cheapest Honda is $24k. Think it is fair to predict that lower income households will continue to buy used.

Good! Hopefully it will push more of em out of the state.

Relax. You are an electrical field driving a skeleton on a planet that is doomed to be destroyed relatively soon, in cosmological time. There is no purpose, no goal, and ultimately nothing you do will matter in the end. There is no “forward”, no “backwards”. It just is.

They changed that in the new Concorde when they added the entry-fee, I believe. Of course, the full text of the 2021 agreement isn’t available for us to read as far as I know, so who knows!

Possibly! I also think the “midpack and back” teams don’t enjoy the idea of a team with Andretti’s marketing/name recognition competing with them for US based corporate B2B sponsors and rich guy checks. 2 more sidepods competing for what they might see as a finite resource.

You alluded to it in the last paragraph, but I thought I would expand on that point more. The entry fee itself isn’t the real point of contention, it is just the latest beach head in the war. None of which has anything to do with the actual quality of racing, of course. Thats Formula 1!

Nothing, and then the US will wonder why its road deaths are stratospheric compared to the rest of the world, its cars more expensive, and its roads deteriorate at a laughable (and extremely expensive) rate.

Like you pointed out, planes do not have an infinite lifespan. Every pressurization and landing “cycle” stresses the airframe, and the FAA has specific regulations regarding the maintenance plans for every model in the sky. These checks, especially D checks (or the Heavy Maintenance Visits) are extremely expensive and…

And 17 full time cars are already confirmed for next year with more expected, bigger than Indy Lights/NXT has had in years so like I said: the field is going to be big.

The Lights/NXT cars are a big step up from the W Series (nearly double the power, physically much larger, and much more downforce and tire), and the field is going to be both big and fast. This will be a big challenge for her, with learning all the new tracks and the way US teams do business too. Will be super…

She is sponsored by DHL. I haven’t seen any suggestion of Jenner’s involvement.

its probably “edgier” to be a bootlicker in 2022 tbh
