> But I don't want a cheaper car anyway, I want better public transport. That's fine, but you're a small minority in most of the world. People want on-demand transportation.
Sounds like a stock EV is not for you, or the very close to 0% of the world's population with similar needs. That's ok.
Succumb? They're going to be at the forefront of creating it, reducing their expenses and therefore increasing their profits. If you're saying that people will just watch other variants of video slop posted on youtube…
Right. The you (and I, elsewhere) are responding to about this obviously doesn't have any kids or meaningful interaction with their community. There's nothing wrong with living that way, but their lack of perspective or…

Road closures, youth sports/school schedule changes due to things like weather, etc. Is it possible to live without this knowledge? Of course. But it's not unreasonable to me that people would want to receive this sort…

More money generally equals more freedom, even if you don't know what you want specifically, but you're ultimately talking about a bigger, unrelated issue.

Pay and money are why people work, so yeah they're pretty important.
Americans have the most disposable income on earth and a very high quality of life. Trump's obvious graft, corruption, and general behavior disgust me, but why exactly would a meaningful number of people risk throwing…

It looks like this is a poor attempt to argue for deregulation in the housing sector? I agree that this is needed, but regulation would be required to compel neighborhoods to allow increased density as well...
If all the things you describe came to fruition, the current residents will have to live with the consequences of their decisions and suffer a lower quality of life (which they don't want to do), and the problem would…
Why does it matter? The data sources are cited and are publicly available. It's basically just documenting the utter stupidity of a trade war with a close ally with whom we are tightly coupled economically.
I assume the data source citations are referencing Census Department API endpoints, I would make the data sources explicit by adding links. You also might want to consider archiving the data if you aren't already given…
Good lord. At what point do we need to just wipe the slate clean and start over?
No, the problem socialists have is that most people are smart enough to realize they won't be better off under a socialist regime, to the chagrin of the self-selected vanguard.
The people who avoid care they need because they can't afford it are a very small portion of the population that gets an outsized share of attention on the issue. Until public healthcare advocates understand this and…
There are many studies from reputable sources (one being the CBO) that say it would result in almost no savings or potentially even higher costs, just like there are many studies like this one that say there will be…
No, that’s the rationalization used by basically every collectivist state to compel individual sacrifice when convenient or desirable.
Of course. Did you mean to reply to the person who blamed capitalism for all of society’s woes without any conditions or qualifiers?
It's odd that you've spent so much time in the US and have no idea what life is like here, but feel free to hold whatever opinion you like.
I have no idea why people blame capitalism for things like a lack of socialized medicine (which I support for the record). It's the American emphasis on individual freedom that results in a lack of government mandates…
Your "argument" is extremely simplistic, and again has virtually nothing to do with capitalism. Also, many homeless people are content, along with those in jails and small children (whether they are well cared for or…
