This is completely partially true. The measure of meeting emissions standards is a sliding scale and for US purchased obd2+ vehicles, it simply means checking to see if there are any emissions related codes stored in the ECU. Even older vehicles can have a fairly massive amount of emissions coming out the tailpipe as…

Literally no one is worried about this sticking. Its an EO for 15 years into the future from a governor that is terrible at his job. He clearly couldn’t get it passed through law despite what should be an “easy win” in California.  

Woof!

Which dollars is that?

Yea, “kids are expensive” doesn’t do reality justice.  There are reasons parents run out and buy a new car when a kid is out of diapers and formula.

Mythbusters did this one as well.  Basically you shouldn’t normally have a problem but excessive consumption could absolutely make you fail.

Any parent who doesn’t have it subsidized can tell you that its like getting a large raise when your kid stops drinking formula (diapers too, but usually not as bad towards the end).

You can buy apple music for $9.99 a month on ios. You can buy spotify premium through their app on the app store for $9.99 a month.

1. App market not mobile market - Clearly Apple is the dominating leader in the App market as evidenced by the significantly greater revenue they make there.

Apple doesnt have a monopoly on the app market as they host anyone and everyone who wants to be on their. Additionally they only have a 40% share of the mobile market.  Hardly a monopoly.

What are you talking about? If i want Apple items I now have a way to get a specific set at a discount. Thats saving the consumer money.

This argument is comical.  Other than pulling it out of thin air, what makes you think 15% is the right price?

Bugatti has less than a third of the employees that Rimac does. Neither posts revenue but I would bet that Bugatti is a money loser while Rimac has heavy licensing contracts with many tier 1s.

They have a ton of patents, so licensing.

Glad I didn’t have to scroll far for this.

Lets dig into it a different way:

I do live in CA and am an avid hiker and can confirm your friend is full of it.

Why would I claim that?

Yet the crime isn’t normalized across the state...
