Are the gusanos in Florida finally reaping some consequences for their actions? How sad.

Just like the pit of infinite despair and spiked dildos is technically different from the pit of infinite spiked dildos and despair; being to the left of republicans because you want to burn orphans for warmth instead of fun does not make you left wing nor a good choice.

He's a billionaire, and he's a normal billionaire at that. Investing is literally the only thing they do.

Do try to find a source for this weird bit of misinformation, if you're so confident.

They genuinely aren't, Muerza in South Africa and a variety of other local brands across Africa and Asia have cheap cars.

China cuts it down further by completely subsidizing education and opening vocational schools near factories that specialize in what those factory owners need, allowing hyper specialization. When you have an entire neighborhood able to produce all the parts of a car, instead of importing parts from across the world and assembling it like us car manufacturers do, you're able to massively cut costs.

All manufacturing in china takes this approach of having almost enclaves of specialized knowledge and factories, and is genuinely an engineers wet dream to work in since you can get any part you could possibly want the same day, even if you just designed the part yesterday.

So your own source shows the dimensions increasing every single generation to the point of more than a 20% increase in some dimensions.... Are you sure that's what you want to use to defend your deranged worship of giant, indefensible trucks that have explicitly proven to be larger and less safe than their predecessors?

I don't personally use a picture, because I've been outside in the past few years and can literally see the difference in real life. I was suggesting pictures for you, so you can correct yourself and understand what people are talking about in this thread, since you haven't been outside yet in your life.

I really don't care about random numbers you claim to have found that go contrary to reality.

So... Your point is the 2004 ranger is smaller, and makes the 2024 ranger look bigger because it's so much smaller?

Good work agreeing with me while trying to be clever but entirely misusing the idea of forced perspective.

Sure, the spec sheet I'll look at is a picture of a 2004 Ford ranger and a 2024 Ford ranger, one of which is twice the size of the other while having more limited visibility from the driver's seat and headlights set above the average height of cars from the 1990s, ensuring bright ass headlights in your mirrors no matter what.

It absolutely is, and facts don't get trumped by misleading facts.

Its not even a difficult thing to understand. You're on the internet and have an infinite number of pictures that refute your idea.

The problem is you're arguing against what people have actually experienced, and in cases where they're in an area with persevered older vehicles on the road, can directly see.

Rangers are now the size of old f150s, f150s are now larger than older f350s. Trucks are just bigger, period. All newer vehicles are just bigger and bulkier than older (90s-00s) vehicles.

Its a massive safety issue, it's been studied in actual scientific journals, it is a fact you can't really deny at this point and it's weird you're trying to.

Mostly automation and sensible regulations. Also direct to consumer sales with third party dealerships not really existing for new cars. Also generally a lower cost of living allowing for lower wages and thus lower labor costs for the non automated parts.

It does make sense, as regular cabs cannot be bought on new trucks. All of them are crew cabs, decreasing their utility and increasing their weight and size.

As far as the general argument. Look at the headlight and start height of a Ford ranger in 2002 vs today.

Except .. that doesn't happen. Do feel free to fact check that bit of propaganda you're repeating.

Any human moderator would not confuse the two. Any human reporting in good faith would not confuse the two.

It sounds like this was llm backed auto moderation, which cannot understand context, which will kill communities and platforms quicker than a hot dog Loving ceo having to pay slightly more.

Nope, they're private sector. Technically the state does produce some busses and of course electric trains; but consumer evs are entirely private sector enterprises.

... Yes that is how production works in a healthy economy. You have multiple companies competing for the same consumers, resulting in over production.

Cars are a luxury object that are entirely unnecessary, so they aren't a centrally planned industry.

The extra then gets sold off. But the fact you simply cannot buy most Chinese ev brands outside of china (and some belt and road countries) kinda proves the point. Besides BYD and Rivian, you're not finding many Chinese evs outside of china, and those are just two of the top twenty manufacturers.

Unironically go back to reddit, you absolutely need to be with your own kind and away from actual humans.

She started out strong solely from the idea that Biden finally stepped down and she might be different. Then within a day of the announcement she essentially sank her chances by suggesting she'd stay the course and that the Biden admin did well.

Regardless of her advisors, she said the Biden economy was good and she would continue it... That killed all reasonable votes from the poor and middle class.
