Government takes the vast majoirty on the blame. They eroded the trust of the people through incompetency and opacity. The countries that did well in this pandemic had 2 major factors:

Churchill was very racist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Winston_Churchill

If it ends up like Sweden, or Norway, Germany, France, New Zealand, most of the EU, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan; or basically every other competent modern developed social democratic country not run by narcissist WASPs, then I’ll take my chances.

Personal responsibility matters in issues like what you eat, or brushing your teeth and other factors. But it’s like every libertarian just can’t seem to understand the concept of collective action problems.

When every other modern country has gotten it under control, and we haven’t (and now we’re in the company of Brazil and Russia), you know we fucked up bad. America in its current condition is borderline failed state.

When am I getting my Chrysler Regal TourX Hellcat?

Friend worked in Africa for a medical NGO and had to drive those. He said that they were still always broken; and that they rode like crap when they were working, especially spending hours on rutted dirt roads. His happiest times were when he got to drive or sit in the LC 200s that they used to shuttle gov officials…

It’s super hard for people who are narcissists and don’t want to pay taxes for social good.

So, the US.   I mean, isn’t that what Trump is celebrated for?

Exactly.  he’s actually a contractor/vendor at tech companies.  This is the same as a uber driver calling themselves the CEO of their fucking prius.

Since I’m at a tech company, I’d say a huge % (maybe 30%) of my coworkers drive Teslas. Free charging for everyone. A lot of them have plenty of problems, less so with the drivetrain rather than the body hardware like door handles, etc. They love their cars regardless since the service is good.  I wonder how that’ll…

I was thinking about the Polestar 2 (and Ford, and Rivian) the other day. As appealing as the Model Y is from a performance perspective; would I rather buy a Ford/Rivian/Polestar instead because it has close-enough specs; but with better reliability? It’ll be interesting if the China-built Polestar 2 has significantly …

They’re so alike, sometimes it’s hard to tell at first glance. But regardless, the allegations stands that it’s just taking another rolling stock and it’s pretending it’s new

So they took a Ram 1500 frame and body and stuck some hub motors on it, and blacked it out because it’s really just a Ram 1500 inside?

The Trump Jugend?

Most Chinese people would argue that the CCP is basically fascist these days. they’re about as socialist as the Nazis were.

Literally the only time i hear about Quibi is on here and other tech blogs.  People just don’t care about it.

Wait, so is the 6GT just the 5GT before 2017? But just the same car rebadged as a 6GT? Bu really just a 5er underneath? And now updated with the 5er, but called a 6GT?

Okay, is that considered rednecky? I’ve never lived near; or had to deal with rednecky things.  But I’ve imagined that that’s what it’d be like.

Prius. Actually, Toyota seats in general
