Ok, but a lot of people are, too. More than aren't.

I suppose that's true, you're right. Technically.

I agree in general, although there's no chance of jail time in this case.

Ok, what is this video that everyone in this thread is talking about that I assume went viral recently

If you're on Android, using Firefox + ublock origin (or some other browser with AdBlock) is game-changing.

Continuing to use, say, Chrome, makes almost zero sense.

Are you really surprised that all the 20ish to early 40 year olds are the majority of the workforce?

I haven't heard of it yet but I'm going to assume it's based on the 1980s movie.

People under 45 have shit to do

Like doomscrol lemmy and TikTok for hours and hours at a time

I have. A couple times via a couple channels. It happens. Obviously they don't ask everyone or even most people though.

Is he? He's said publicly that he supports it and his admin just pushed to reschedule it from schedule I to schedule iii. Which isn't perfect but would be a HUGE step forward.

Comments sections, mostly. I'm guessing.

Sadly, they are. The median new car price in the US last year was $46k.

Yes and no.

The EV refueling infrastructure while on the road is kinda shit.

The home refueling infrastructure for gasoline cars is really, really shit.

Like who do you mean when you say other companies?

Because people are buying all the mid- and high-end EVs. If it's more profitable, there's some sense to it until that saturates (although it sounds like that's finally happening maybe)

GM tried real hard for the lower-end. And cars like the Bolt EUV ended up actually really good especially for the price. Then they cancelled it because they just weren't making enough money or volume or scaling like they wanted.

And at the moment ALL the carmakers have gone kinda nuts with pricing. And sales are still super strong overall. Just...softening. Apparently especially for EVs.

Also, people are paying way, way too much for cars. It's insane how many people making $60,000 a year or less are buying cars worth almost that much, and taking out these ridiculous loans. I guess the interest rate hikes are putting a little damper on it, but it's been just stupid.

I'm sure that's a factor, but I'm pretty skeptical that it's the root

Why would Democrats want to defeat the measure?

Ok, but it's really nice that there's a new treatment giving a dude a way better quality of life and give hope to others.

We don't have to immediately turn everything into sadness. Sometimes stuff can be good, without a bunch of people trying to figure out why it sucks because everything sucks and woe is the world.
