Those assets however unlock extremely favorable loans that the rest of us will never get access to. The income from the asset-leveraged loans are not taxed because... reasons.

“Can any Tesla fanboi out there explain to me why Musk is so bent on trying to make the completely inhabitable Mars livable and building entire cities there when we have this huge, habitable planet that we’re already conveniently living on?”

Not everyone can afford to have a FWD commuter car and a 4WD.

Pretty sure the shock here is that someone would film evidence of their illegal activities and post it on social media.

This is solely because public transportation in North America is an absolute joke and owning a car is a necessity to survive.

Ok, I see that you’re not here in good faith. Keep repeating those statistics, I’m sure they’ll sway someone at some point.

You are correct that they are not the sole problem, but large vehicles, especially trucks and SUVs exacerbate the problem.

“then vehicle size would have nothing to do with their death.”

Yeah but, like, that costs money.

“Do you enjoy the jolt of coming to a complete stop”

Time for another round of stock manipulation, I see.

It’s up to Vance to prove that Harris could’ve done something bucko, not the other way around.

It has. It has created a legion of kids who were raised on iPads are now utterly incapable of holding attention.

It’s not arguing semantics though. China has long abandoned communism in favor of state controlled capitalism more akin to Russia’s oligarchy.

You think a company whose main business is battery technology is going to switch to hydrogen power in 2 years?

The power to seize the car varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You understand this, right?

The cops can only issue a punishment they are allowed to within the confines of the law. So they issued the tickets. Maybe direct your rage at the people who wrote the toothless laws.

I would argue people are far more overconfident on streets. There is familiarity in the environment that gives people the confidence to push harder and harder. If you’ve never been on a track, or you rarely do it, you’re likely to be more nervous and careful.

Oh what liberties and luxuries aren’t available to, say, someone in Canada that are available in the US?

I spent 2 weeks in Hong Kong visiting my wife’s family and doing all the touristy stuff and I have to say that without even thinking about I could live there without a car should I need to because the public transportation is so good, so accessible, and so cheap. Yes, people still drove there, but it wasn’t necessary.
