We have ourselves to blame for situations like this. We spent years pretending China was anything other than an authoritarian regime that brutally cracks down on dissent and commits genocide against its own people because for years it was super easy to go there and make shit tons of money. Companies from around the…

Which institution? If you can name an “institution” that people can go to be treated for her condition, I’ll shut the fuck up. But when people say shit like this, mother fuckers don’t realize this health care system does little to jack shit about accessible, mental health treatment. And she was a fucking nurse!

You’re really pretending this is all more complicated that it is.

I feel like now would be a good timed to point out that there is a huge difference between the RICO case described in this article and a civil RICO case.

“We’re becoming very concerned that since we’ve been charging 10-50k over MSRP forcing consumers to essentially be upside down forever, that they won’t keep buying cars which we didn’t think would happen and is very confusing to us.”

Wait, you’re in the military and you’re going to be living on (or around) the base 5 days/week? And you’re looking at some crappy family car instead of some REAL MAN’S CAR? WTF, soldier??

Kia Stinger is the easy answer here

Maybe if grids fucking installed peak load batteries and also encouraged people to install batteries in their home, they wouldn’t have to... deal with peak loading and having so much excess power generation in the rest of the day.

And it begins.

I bought a Polestar 2 this year and it’s a D2C setup. No haggling, no add-ons, no markups. I ordered my car and did my credit application online, test drove the car at the showroom, and I think I had to lay down two or three wet signatures before driving off with the car two weeks later. It was the only pleasant car…

On a somewhat related basis, if you want to know how bad the used car inventory situation is getting, I saw a 1975 Vega on a dealership lot last weekend. I mean it looked in nice shape and all but, holy shit.

It’s the downfall of SO many industries and society as a whole. It’s crazy how much damage this specific thing has done (Thanks Jack Welch, you fuck).

a focus on quarterly profits rather than long term investment

Although cows are frequently blamed, it’s actually Fox News personalities that are the single greatest source of methane pollution.

But why would they think it was running/idling rather than just parked and off?? I get that some drivers probably idle with engines on to keep A/C or heat running, but that’s pretty obvious via noise and exhaust. Neither of which would have been there. So they just...assumed the worst without checking?

Seems like you also hate starting your sentences with capital letters.

“I really have no idea what this means.”

I can’t speak for everyone, obviously, but for 90% of the driving I do, a tiny electric vehicle would be plenty.  Just need some room for groceries and maybe a 50 mile range.  I work from home and very rarely travel outside of my own town limits.  This is why the thought of paying 50k for an electric vehicle irritates…

According to Reuters, the Tesla chief hopes the software will finally be ready by the end of 2022.

Asian countries take badge consciousness to a new level. This may actually work.
