To me, the solution is to not focus on the end result, but the process.

Who cares?  If you’re a politician, the benefit is today.  You’ll be retired or dead by 2050, let them figure it out.

Would there be additional concerns when you combine old vehicle “safety” with a giant battery? 

Even if the price comes down, the real issue here is going to be safety with high voltage setups. The first time some enthusiast dies the lawyers will be ALL over the companies making this stuff.

Before selling a 1974 W114 I used to own, I looked into an EV conversion on it because it’s a perfect car for such a swap. The quote was $25k. I quickly just listed it as is after that quote.

Did you complain when Activision and EA bought all those smaller developers? Or when Sony did?

this is some BULLS**T -- No one seemed to give a crap that Activision and EA both got big by gobbling up all their competition over the last 30 years. Now all of sudden people care just because Microsoft is in the picture? You know how many great franchises we lost to Activision and EA over the years?

This seems....odd? More of a marketing/political exercise than anything that will make a dent. How many miles will these cars be driven in their lives?

While this sale might be a bad idea it in no way shape or form would create a monopoly.

yep, it’s because people look at the whole of Microsoft vs the whole of Sony and say “Microsoft is the bigger player in the market!” ignoring that microsoft OS revenue has nothing to do with their gaming market share. Sony is the bigger fish in this scenario.

While personally I hope this merger does not go through it’s a little strange to me why this merger has gotten so much scrutiny while others haven’t.

I find it ridiculous that the CMA can argue that this deal would hurt competition while continuing to allow Sony, the market leader to practive anti-consumer anti-competition practices. If they don’t want to approve the merger, fine. But go after the market leader and their practices of making third-party games and…

Minority-created media should be allowed to be mediocre or worse and we move along the same way as with something created by a straight white guy, instead of having to write some article like this defending it when there are plenty of South Asian-featuring media on TV right now that critics and audiences agree are…

I think the problem with Velma was just that it’s not actually good. 

While they can speak to similar issues of representation, I’m not sure Azaria voicing Apu (and the question of whether voice actors need to match, loosely or precisely, the ethnicity or background of their characters) actually relates much to changing the backgrounds or traits of a live action character (you could be…

Rationally thinking reader, unbelievable.

I guess Exxon just felt like losing 20B in 2020 just for the hell of it too, right? 

“But the problems of normal people don’t seem to concern energy bosses.”

Slow death by cheap junk.

It boggles my mind that people still believe this thing will get approved by the DOT and manufactured in any meaningful way. Why anyone would support meme lord douchbag Elon is beyond me.
