Get ready to drink a verification can of Mountain Dew.

These companies aren’t stupid. Pay a few lobbyists and the taxpayers will burden the costs.

Been a while since I've flown a budget airline. On the normal flights I've taken, there's always a few people (usually older people) with paper boarding passes.

A brain enema would be preferred.

Who?

If by next year EV sales in the US haven't tanked, I'll be somewhat surprised - since Trump and his puppet-masters are actively trying to kill EVs for some reason.

Regardless, as I've mentioned before - my next car will be an EV, likely a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or 6. It's just a question of when I make the purchase. It's possible I'll change my mind on the make, although I can say for sure it will not be a Tesla.

Yeah, it's not like adoption exists.

I don't want to stop buying plastics. I want to have the option to buy actually recycled plastics that actually get recycled. We can do this but we don't. We don't because the people with all the money who therefore control the means of production decide that we don't. "We" is a stretchy word. So is "you" and so's "can". Sure, you can choose to opt out of society, but it would make more sense to make society not shit all over everything.

But at least we have fewer Home Depot day laborers and restaurant prep cooks.

...MURICA!

Living in the rust belt takes a toll on vehicles. It's rare to see anything from the 00s here anymore. You don't see 90s cars unless they were garage kept by grandma or bought out of state.

Just in time for completion of the Epstein Ballroom.

Because passing tariff costs to consumers is admitting it was nothing more than a new tax enacted by the dementia patient.

It’s 2025 and food costs double or even triple what it did 5 years ago. People aren’t going to shell out extra cash just to say the copper wire in their $40k base model car is American sourced.

You’ll notice it’s GM telling suppliers and not GM choosing new suppliers. Because factories don’t spring up overnight and imagine the nightmare when GM buys a million connectors from a new supplier that fall apart in six months.

I guess that makes sense, but the wheeled vehicle isn't suited for that at all. In that case they'd have been better off just making a drone-in-a-box with convenient mounting points on the box.
