You admit google has gone woke. Why are they not broke?
But it's not like the leather is going to be thrown away and Apple is pulling cowskin out of dumps.
The global leather industry creates four billion pounds of scrap leather waste every year. Currently, thatâ(TM)s mainly sent to landfills or incinerated
The CPUC directors are all Newsome appointees. The Commission loses millions of dollars a year from their accounting. It seems like perhaps if they were paying attention, they could have foreseen this problem arising as the solar input steadily increased over the past 20 years.
It's a regulatory agency. How are they supposed to turn a profit?
Know what makes something more affordable? Throwing enormous amounts of money at it. Works with student loans. Works with housing. Works with military hardware. Works with space shuttles.
It all depends on whether or not the demand for the thing you are throwing money at is finite, or at least constrained in some way. If you throw a lot of money at subsidizing oil or steel or some other raw material necessary to build military hardware, the cost of military hardware will go down. But it doesn't help if you decide to simply buy 10x as much military hardware. If you throw money at subsidizing the education of doctors and nurses, the cost of medical procedures would go down. But it doesn't help if you start to pay for 10x as many medical procedures.
The cost of solar panels is constrained by competition from other energy sources, so there isn't a risk of costs ballooning out of control. The only result of the spending would be more solar power generation built in the US.
There's a reason that there is a saying that goes "Wears like leather." Leather is an excellent material to make durable stuff out of if it can't be made out of metal or needs some give.
Even if you can't bring yourself to use real leather from any animal (a waste Native Americans would chide you for given how much leather is produced as a bi-product from raising cattle for food), there are plenty go fake leathers that feel great and wear really well!
The "fine woven" stuff was crazy bad. I upgraded my phone this year and waited to look at the cases in person, and wanted no part of what I could tell was a terrible material just by touching it. You could tell just from sample cases in the store it would not wear well...
Generally though for me, third party cases have been simply better for a number of years now, and first party Apple cases have just not been as good. But they could at least get back to making soemthing that felt and looked premium.
People buy whatever is cheapest. That’s why the market is flooded.
Lol, why would they push their car to a charging station? Plug the thing in at home.
Because it costs trillions of dollars to retrofit a city?
Source? Billions at worst. Like I said, this is a solved problem, and places like Amsterdam have solved this for way less than "Trillions".
China is about to out capitalism the USA by providing much cheaper products.
The automakers won't be caught off guard this time. Watch for lobbying and smear campaigns.
The US auto industry competes just fine at building what Americans want to drive. The challenge comes in switching over to building what the American government wants Americans to drive. They are far from the same thing.
$70k trucks with beds smaller than a the same model from 30 years ago and $100k SUVs with the all styling of a brick. https://www.caranddriver.com/j...
Exactly. In some states it’s illegal to even sell a new car direct to the public. Legislation designed to prop up the dealership industry. Why compete when you can legislate?
