It’ll be enforced just like child porn laws are. If you have enough money or political power (same thing really) then you won’t ever see a cop.
But us regular citizens will get fucked. Par for the course for a powerful, authoritarian government.
Authoritarians just doing what authoritarians do.
Man, I would absolutely love an EV. As long as it’s paid off, and I can keep minimum liability insurance on it.
You completely missed my entire point.
They haven’t existed long enough for those of us struggling, and anyone who can afford one isn’t really struggling, they just think they are.
If you’re poor, you learn how to do these things.
It’s less about the gas and electricity than it is about adding a car note and higher insurance.
A hundred or two a month won’t help me afford a $300 car note and a much higher insurance premium.
My salvage title 2006 Honda Accord cost me $3200 in cash over 3 years ago.
Since then, I’ve spent maybe another $2000 total on ALL service and maintenance. Including a full set of tires, an alignment, oil changes, brake pads and rotors. A pair of wheel bearings, a new radiator, and a pair of tie rod ends.
All of which I did myself.
Oh, and my monthly insurance premium for this car?
$32 a month. No car note. “But electric cars don’t buy gas either” No. They use electricity. And my average monthly power bill is already over $400 a month. You think I want that to be even higher? No way.
Yea, I get that EVs are better.
But I don’t do car notes. I can’t AFFORD to do car notes.
So until I can buy a 17 year old EV for $3200 cash and only need another couple thousand to keep it running for an additional 3 years, I will stick to the used ICE market.
Algorithm cheating.
The text is almost always related to some story or video that has high numbers so it gets associated with that.
You need to go watch an 80’s movie with Matt Broderick in it called WarGames.
How about a nice game of Global Thermonuclear War?
Or maybe just tic tac toe.
“It’s mainstream now so it’s no longer cool.”
The same hate Ubuntu got when it first came out (and still gets, tbh).
When one civilization meets another, far more advanced, civilization, what tends to happen to the less advanced one?
Yeah, that. It’s gonna suck.
I find it odd that many of the same people who don’t like large corporations, like Visa and MasterCard are, are also the same people who despise using cash.
Every single transaction you use your card, visa and MasterCard gets a percentage of from the place you just spent your money.
You’re enriching those corporations by simply spending your money somewhere when you use their cards.
USB-C to aux, connected to a good head unit.
Wired > Bluetooth.
Perish the thought.
I can’t put my music on my phone
I have between 4 and 5 terabytes of mostly lossless music.
Navidrome to the rescue!
It’s almost like a strong, centralized government with power over our everyday lives can be easily subverted into doing things we don’t really want it to do.
Huh
Weird.
I’m in jail 8 hours a day, 5 days a week sometimes more if something breaks.
I have absolutely zero interest in some “magic” book about a megalomaniacal sky daddy.
Fuck off with that.
I mean, people still believe the earth is flat, ffs.
