again, what war did it prevent? Korea? Vietnam? Iraq/Iran? USSR Afghanistan? Serbia? USA/ Afghanustan? USA / Iraq? USA / Panama thing? ruzzia (permanent UN security council member) Ukraine in 2014? in 2022? Constant attacks on Israel by every mofo piece of shit islamist state out there, pkus hamas, hezbollah?

World war 3 (nucleat kind?) is prevented not by the antisemites in UN but by the promise of MAD. Everything else is happening all the time. It is a pathetic joke and needs to be abolished.

We shouldn't just presume careers that pay less are the biggest source of loan problems.

Why not?

If you take on debt to learn skills we KNOW will not allow you to earn enough money to pay off once in practice...that by definition leads to loan payment problems.

We need to STOP loans, scholarships and grants for any field that has no realistic promise of having the student make enough money to pay back plus extra.....let's only target fields we need that make money.

If you want to take the other crap...then feel free to pay for it yourself.

with majors that are money losers in the job markets.

Well, how about we STOP giving grants, scholarships and loans (especially loans) to students for degrees that are worthless. If you want to study the effects on underwater basket weaving on indigenous gender fluid mollusks....then you pay for it on your own time.

I think that might cut a LOT of waste out.....let's try to only train for things that will benefit society and make the student some money after school

Cut the students and that will cut the loans and colleges will have to drop prices back to more normal levels.

and even many fuckable men want to pay...because they want someone more attractive than they can get on their own or think it's simpler to pay a prostitute than look for a hookup on an app.

Remember, when you've buying SEX with a woman, you're not paying her to come there....you're paying her to LEAVE after you're done with the deed.

With regular women dates....it can quickly become much more expensive....as that they want more, don't always go away and if they stick around long enough they can really cost you.

In many cases, it's better to just set the parameters at the beginning....because either way as a man, you WILL pay for it.

You only need to look at the overall population. 80% of people in the US live in urban areas.

What do you define as "urban"? I tend to think of extremely dense cities, like NYC or maybe Chicago.

I don't generally think of places like Houston as "urban"...since they are so spread out, not vertical like NYC where apartments stacked up and no private parking is the norm.....

IN the US, we really dont have THAN many classic urban areas.....at least not to my mind.

I think the urban of NYC matches more with Europe cities.....but. Many large cities like LA or Houston do not fil that type of urban mold.....

With that in mind I don't think you're comparing apples to apples with regard to EVs....

Comment Re:No. Just better mileage (Score 0) 136

Their big problem is that they haven't figured out how to make money on EVs. Part of the problem is their dealer networks don't want to sell them due to the lower maintenance costs. That keeps the volume down to where they can't amortize the costs properly.

In the US...also, there just is not THAT much demand for EVs. The people that want them largely have them.

You might get a few more when the price on EVs comes down and people see that used resell don't bottom out so much.....to make it a better value.

But other than that, the rest of us in the US just really don't want an EV at this time, especially those of us that cannot charge at home for whatever reason.

So will they be able to demand that flock and other types of cameras delete and do not record everyone's personal information?

and if you do not think they have your personal information, here, watch this: https://youtu.be/vU1-uiUlHTo?s...

with AI they DO have your personal data. They can see you and follow you in real time, they know where you live, they know what you drive, they know who you are, they know everything about you because you cannot escape 80,000 + cameras everywhere, ALPR (Automatic License Plate Readers) and PTZ (Pan to Zoom) cameras.

There is no more 4th amendment in the USA with this technology available to the state.

preventing which war exactly? You do know that ruzzia is a permanent member of the UN security council, right?

Yes, I do not like the UN. No, I do not believe UN exists to prevent wars. It exists today as a bad joke, a horrible reflection of the ugly reality. USA shouldn't host it, it should quit the stupid thing.

AI can give many a 0 day work week, is that good enough for you? A 0 day work week and also 0 pay for it. I think that's fair.

As to 'resentment', what does that have to do with having fewer resources than you actually earned? If you earn something and people take it away we have a proper name for it - theft.

Easy. UN is a bunch of terrorist sympathizers and anti semites, including ruzzia, and here is what they are all about:

UN is an organization whose entire existence is a bad joke, aimed at blaming one single country of Israel more every year than all other countries combined. All this while Assad murders hundreds of thousands, North Korea enslaves millions, ruzzia starts wars to murder hundreds of thousands, whatever the hell happens in Africa all the time, whatever China is doing, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan... nothing matters. The only thing that matters there is to attack Israel.
