Abortions after viability have generally been illegal since 1992 (Casey), long before Dobbs.

Your screenshot is out of date.

OK, so if various features make Europeans not want trucks as much as Americans do, then auto propaganda is not what determines what people want.

No, the EU also has emissions standards that are more stringent for smaller cars.

If so, people would be buying as many trucks in the EU and Japan as we do. They've had just as much time as we have.

That's my point. Those countries have the same auto companies we do. If "auto propaganda" was responsible for people buying trucks, then those countries would be full of trucks too.

Do you want a truck too? Or are you the only person capable of resisting the power of auto industry propaganda?

The fact that people in different places do not all want the same cars is strong evidence that their wants result from human agency, not auto propaganda.

I bought it used, so it was way more affordable than you might think.

There's the Bolt, Leaf, MachE, Ioniq...

The Chevy Bolt, a subcompact EV, has been around since 2016. The Nissan Leaf has been around since 2010.

Subcompacts of all types, EV and ICE alike, simply don't sell as well as trucks in the US.

Car companies sell what customers want, not what they need.

Former owner here. Such a relief to be rid of it. Never again as long as Musk remains at Tesla.

Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic.

Then we agree. It's fine. Most countries don't consider Palestine to be their problem, so performative bullshit is the most they can muster.

It sounds like your problem is with the OP, which says 146 countries engage in performative bullshit.

I care about accurately summarizing what the OP is about, and it's about countries that recognize Palestine. It has nothing to do with countries that support or even care the slightest about Palestinians.

That treaty said that the US and Russia would not attack Ukraine. It did not say the US would defend Ukraine against an attack.

The US held up its end.

Recognition just means formally acknowledging that a government exists, it does not imply any sort of cooperation.

For instance, the US recognizes North Korea and Iran but doesn't cooperate with them, quite the opposite.

These links cite out-of-date numbers. The latest numbers are significantly higher.

Roughly 40% of households are currently over $100K, which is not that different than the 45% of travelers who are over $100K.

https://www.marketingscoop.com/small-business/how-many-people-make-over-100k/ only 15.5% of households earn between $100,000 and $150,000 annually. Including those making $150k or above, the percentage rises to 34.1%. That means a full 85.5% of US households get by on less than a six-figure income.

This person needs to check their math...
