idk it stopped a few of them from implementing some even worse shit for a few months

even worse, it's a joke, but it's true, the proof of concept is often also the final product

you realize that even the "cheap" Chinese cars from BYD and the like are still more than many people can pay for a car, there is no used EV market

I mean, that's assuming you can afford an electric car, being poor is expensive

why would market electricity prices have any relation to what you pay on your power bill? turns out that companies will charge whatever they know they can, regardless of the cost of acquiring something to sell, should the cost of something be more than they know they can sell it for, they just won't sell it.

The idea that market prices influence what you pay for something is basically one of the main lies of supply side economics.

Capitalism was the one main force pushing for the end of slavery at the Contemporaneous Age. It’s basically the reason most of the world doesn’t have it anymore.

nope, ironically it wasn't the capitalist institutions, but rather religious institutions that called for an end to slavery

an easy election victory over a deeply unpopular racist, sexist, homophobic oligarchically unapologetic candidate.

hate to be the one to break it too you, but that candidate is far from deeply unpopular, it's just factually not true.
