Most people 'get' living with an ICE car and there's no incentive to change yet, which is perfectly rational esp in jurisdictions like the US where gas is artificially cheap.

I'm an Indian, but an "ABCD" (American Bord Confused Desi). I can't read or understand Hindi anymore. I only ever had an "American" accent. I've had more than one girlfriend say I wasn't Indian, but American.

It does suck because I see where the resentment comes from. At least when I started, the ratio of competent to incompetent Indians was about the same as anyone else (race or whatever). You're always going to have good people and people who are idiots and shouldn't be there. It's always like a 50/50 split unless you're in one of the high end super-competitive markets.

I don't want to hate on my own people, but India as a nation has a deep seeded culture of corruption that needs to be dealt with domestically. America use to have one too (just look at E. H. Crump in Memphis back in the 40s), but today .. you don't bribe cops. It usually won't work. It's still common in parts of India. Some of their regions have grown a lot as far as infrastructure and worth ethic. They don't have tofu cities like China, but they also don't have streamlines traffic like the US or safe trains like the EU.

America use to bring over Indians who would either assimilate or have kids that assimilated. They brought over people who saw the problems domestically and wanted to get away from that and create a better life for their children. Yes, a good amount kept their own culture and arranged match-making for their kids, but a considerable amount didn't. It was a true culture mesh and they filled roles that were lacking in the markets. Today they're just lowering the value of Americans, as are more immigrants in general in markets that have been down for 6+ years.

The anti-Indian sentiment hurts the ABCD, and even those fresh-of-the-plane immigrants who truly know their stuff and/or want to take part in western culture. But we also can't just defend all Indians because we are Indians. That's not good either ... M. Night Shyamalan had one good movie and everything after has sucked ass!

I see that as a '640k should be enough for anyone' type statement, and it was made by somebody in charge of Toyota, one of the biggest hydrogen car proponents and developers.

Advances in battery tech approaching that of transistors back in the day while hydrogen tech has relatively languished, has pushed hydrogen into being even less realistic, while rewriting the economics of EVs completely.

Now, that 100% hybrids rather that 90% ICE and 10% EV would save more gasoline on less battery is true.
We could go for having basically 90% of or vehicles being hybrid before reaching 20% EV. Have the idea be that people buy a hybrid today, replace it with a PHEV, then go EV.

Retreating from electric cars will ultimately be suicide for US car makers. Electric cars are better in almost every way. In ten years, most people will come to understand this. Unfortunately, this understanding will come from people dying and not people changing their minds.

for someone who has such a strong opinion on the news it's pretty clear you don't read it

Nonsense. The opinion pages in the WSJ have always leaned right. William F Buckley , a terrible man, used to have a regular opinion column. The current ones are no better.

D'oh, I mixed up the big conservative papers that start with W...same problems though, just minus the conflict of interest.

Are the kind of people who are upset that they can't use the n-word in public and who knowingly voted for Trump the rapist because they think it should be legal to fuck kids. So really I don't pay much mind to those people because they're weird little fuckers and best case scenario they will become irrelevant and worst case scenario we're all going to die in a global Firestorm of nuclear fire caused by those idiots handing the launch codes to religious lunatics because they're upset somebody said happy holidays...

Many of the lower court decisions seem pretty solid, reasonable and thought-out, but SCOTUS, especially Justices Alito and Thomas, is seemingly just making stuff up, or misinterpreting things from Medieval England, to support their agendas.

And 94% of them are overturned in favor of Trump when they get to the Supreme court, usually on the shadow docket with absolutely no reason given.
  The system of checks and balances designed to protect you have failed. All of them.
 

Does that also apply to Biden shutting down the Canadian oil pipeline and freezing out new drilling and exploration and cancelling existing already issued permits?

Typical 2025 slashdot posting template:
Trump does $thing: worst thing ever, clear constitutional violation! Corruption! Orange Man Bad! +5 informative!
Biden does exact same $thing: brilliant! Saving the world one step at a time! Good honest Joe! +5 informative!

Can't make this shit up. No point in making a joke, the fruit isn't hanging low, it's on the ground.
