  • Its about time. Tariffs on imports isn't enough by itself to spur domestic manufacturing, it just creates creates space in the market for native companies to grow into. Actually growing that manufacturing base requires resources.

    Lets do solar panels next.

  • Yeah, if you've got a short commute, and some way to charge it at home, that's the way to go. I've heard second hand about people needing to add fuel stabilizer to their plug-in hybrid because they use so little gas.

  • The market for hybrid vehicles has lately been growing even faster than for fully electric vehicles; hybrids, which do not have to be plugged in, allow consumers to avoid a patchy national public charging network.

    Not to mention the lack of chargers at rented residences, and the inability for most of us to afford to buy our own house.

  • There was a relevant post on Lemmy the other day:

    The origin and nature of existence is an epistemological black hole that some people like to plug with "a wizard god did it".

    The sensation of free will is an emergent property of a lack of awareness of the big stuff, the small stuff, the long stuff, and the short stuff.

  • I know how gerrymandering works in USA's system - the last two far-right Presidents were elected despite the center-right candidate getting more votes. But the margins were tighter in those contests - a few percentage points not double digits. I'm curious about the peculiarities of the French system that lead to such an apparently wide gap between votes versus representation.

  • Did he turn traitor before or after leaving the agency? It looks pretty bad - like he was trying to overthrow the government and install a Russian asset as dictator. I wonder if he also sold state secrets to America's enemies?
