How is this damaging to them at all? They literally get to cut one item completely off their expense list.

People act like other new cars aren't exactly the same on the inside.

I tell anyone spending less than that not to waste their money, and to get refurb instead.

Solar and EV purchases paying dividends right now, as well as my propane buying group price lock in. This will likely drive up Tesla demand.

It's much simpler than that. North American oil is suddenly worth twice as much. Plus it gives an excuse to allow Russia to sell some oil on legitimate markets.

If you think they're pissed now, just wait to see how they react to election interference.

I recently read up on how the House of Representatives renews itself and quite frankly it's one of the most beautiful processes I've seen, completely removing the influence of the prior congress.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Neo-industrialists were let off their leashes and went straight back to their old favorite, wealth extraction. Rockefeller strangled the economy by controlling the trains and pipelines undermining his competition rather than competing on quality. When they can hoard enough cash to buy any potential competitors (see Meta buying Whatsapp and Instagram) it distorts the market. VCs no longer want to build companies they want to sell them.

Fossil fuel can't compete with wind and solar so instead it spends its resources trying to kneecap them rather than innovate.

PE buys up all off an industry in an area and puts the price squeeze on the consumers.

B2B has transitioned from one time sales to a focus on MRR.

Microsoft jams copilot into everything whether it makes sense or not so that it can goose the usage numbers for investors.

Google is incentivized to push ad clicks over legitimate results because it has no real competition.

I could go on for pages and pages. Industry consolidation is what's destroying innovation.

But my Ioniq 5 is lighter than a large number of ICE SUVs on the road.

RVs need to have a dual purpose battery pack on board. I feel like long distance boat hauling is rare. Either they're driving across town to a launch, or it's moored/docked for the season.

Both my old Bolt and Ioniq 5 had alternate key entry systems in the door handles.

Yes, a coal powered EV will be cleaner than the same vehicle burning gasoline under the hood.
