This is absolutely why. No sarcasm required.

I don't think anyone exclusively blames trump for the current state of things, but he did lean in heavily into making things worse as a religious issue.

On the other hand, historically other big spikes in prices have not really resulted in much investment in alternatives... just higher prices and profit margins, with people going back to what they were doing at the new normal.

There is also more than one human, so plenty of room for someone to have said something 50 years ago and someone else says something today.

The maintenance part is still an open question, esp as the actual vehicles being produced are going with more and more expensive to replace computerized parts. Granted IC cars are also going down this route, so their cost to maintain is skyrocketing too.

It is never safe to assume that a problem is 'temporary' and will be solved with advancements.

At this point is a cultural identity or religious issue. There is no reasoning with a climate change denier, you might as well be telling them that their god is the not one true god or that the earth is round.

There is no War Department. Maybe they meant the Department of Defense?

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

They see the police as their allies in asserting the natural order.. they picture themselves as the treaders, not treated on.... curtailing their freedom to oppress others is tantamount to suggesting they are no better than a minority.

It's the only way to truly save civilization.

I didn't even hit play dude.

That's an hour and a half long of material I have no interest in. So if there is something in there that's relevant could you timestamp it?

Absolutely no one is commenting how this car was able to defy the laws of physics to slowly drive up the loop. PT Barnum would be proud.
