If they are avoiding it because they are “afraid” then yes. If they are doing it because fuck Putin then no

Pussy. If you not going to defend your family and your countrymen when it’s needed whats the point?

A lot of people have died to make your life better. It didn’t come for free.

Is that the guy that didn’t believe anyone when they told him the Germans were pouring through the Ardennes or was that the one before?

Communism is great. You can spaff as much money up the wall as you want. Doesn’t matter, anything you want can be done.

Then you wonder why there is no food in the supermarkets.

The title is about why “Americans” aren’t buying EV’s. The excuse of them living in an apartment only applies to ~20% of the population.

That’s not enough to explain why Americans aren’t buying, just why 20% if Americans aren’t.

And like I said you don’t start with the most difficult and you don’t push a solution onto a problem when it isn’t the right solution anyway.

Depends what the point is. If we want to sell EVs for some goal of selling EVs that fine I guess. But it still goes back to the point of you start with the easiest 80% first.

But if we want to improve everyone’s life on this planet and the planet itself. Trying to convince people who shouldn’t own a car to buy an EV is very poor planning. It just so short sighted and consumerist for the sake of consumerism.

According to Quota its ~80% of people live in houses.

Classic 80:20 rule. Making excuses for why the most difficult 20% doesn’t work is the wrong way of thinking about it. Most of the result for least effort cones from dealing with the 80%.

What percentage of people live in apartments?

Surely those people should be taking public transport anyway not buying a car when they live downtown.

This is just a price to function issue.

If the price was 0 everyone would have one.

But the cost of it is way too high for what it is. Price and weight etc will come down. Uses will increase.

When I was a teenager my friend tried to get me to join an MMA gym. Said his two friends went and the instructor wanted to show them something about defending your self properly so he knocked them both out one after the other. (Like that was the plan. See how bad you are at fighting).

I didn’t join that gym.

Also a lot of people don’t use trains because of the last mile problem. (And because in america specifically they are a lower standard than they were in the 1800’s).

But if people could get a lift to the station and then to work. Or get the train 10 times a week and get a lift to and from the supermarket once a week without needing to buy a car. That will be a huge reclamation of space.

Could even be like a 10 lane (total) motorway going to two train lines and a two lane road. Not to mention the space it frees on minor roads.

No mention of precision fermentation.

I think a huge shift is coming to our food. Even if it’s easy things like milk, olive oil, palm oil.

But I think it’s coming for meat and I think it’s going to be the best thing to happen to the environment ever.

This has a huge potential to link up incredibly well with walking, cycling, micro mobility and trains and not to mention high density housing and/or green land. I hope that it is acted on.

The plane drones are quieter aren’t they?

Also cars are noisy as fuck and everyone acts like that are perfect in every way.

Sounds like he needs a trip to mexico to do blow and hookers.

Don’t worry we already ate most of the fish. The remaining fish don’t need all the minerals they once did.

I’m worried about pain. Also pain lasting a long/ permanent time.

Also I had epididymitis already. So maybe I shouldn’t go for it.

But too many guys get lied to and end up with a kid they didn’t want. That’s my biggest worry.
