Is that a typo?
I would agree that Ford is the bigger fiend…

The main thing that concerns me about a fully cashless society is that the means of buying and selling stuff shifts fully into the hands of the for profit, private company payment processors.
If cash is no longer an option, then ever increasing payment fees can become a growing profit center for those banks, credit card companies and payment processors as they gouge the public worse than they already are.
It’s all part of the “move fast and break things” development process.
We actually do need 0% emissions and 100% renewables.
Yes. The sooner the better.
But on the way there we have to take the wins we can get and not let perfect be the enemy of good.
There are some limited use cases where they can make sense.
Commuting or grocery shopping aren’t among those, though.
So you blame Israel for existing
The process that brought the state of Israel into existence caused a lot of animosity among the population who were previously there.
Add to that decades of Israel displacing more people by annexing land for their “settlements” and its not hard to imagine why there would be resentment and anger against the Israeli government.
Are you arguing that Israel should kill children?
That’s not how I read it.
My interpretation is that Israel shouldn’t be creating more orphans who will have a lifelong desire for vengeance.
Well when you outsource all your skilled jobs to other countries for a few decades, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they will move ahead of your country in the skills needed to compete against you.
That quest for extreme short term profits at the expense of your own long term sustainability/survivability has come back to bite you in the ass. Congratulations corporate America, you’ve played yourself.
It’s not even limited by country. There are far too many places in well resourced countries that don’t have access to good (or any) libraries.
The account’s discovery raises questions on just how many bots are operating on X, including those run by foreign adversaries
Far more than you imagine.
No more delays.
Also: you went too fast and cut corners with ArriveCan making it a steaming pile of uselessness.
Must be a country specific thing.
Import a bunch of those cheap Chinese EVs and lots of people will buy them
Or start building affordable EVs here.
Back in the 70s when Toyota, Datsun, Honda etc started eating the big 3’s lunch on affordable fuel efficient vehicles, they responded with smaller cars of their own.
If they’re not willing to respond to market demand and competition, do they even deserve to stay in business?
Isn’t that what the “free market” they claim to love enforces?
For me, the last time I was in the market for a replacement vehicle, the 2 biggest factors were availability and price.
The dealers had zero stock (except maybe a rare fully optioned ridiculously priced example of the top of the line model), and I was not in a position to wait 2+ months for a factory order of a car that I couldn’t even test drive.
will soon wash away with the rain…"
Just like any attention they may have grabbed due to their stunt.
Literally never seen one of those outside of movies.
what’s the alternative scenario here?
Parents could not upload pictures of their kids everywhere in a vain attempt to attract attention to themselves?
That would be good.
It’s hard to see how they still manage to have much money after all the grifters have been picking their pockets.
Of course. Why wouldn’t a con artist go after a group that has already self-selected for gullibility?
It’s scamming on easy mode
Will be?
I haven’t had any interest in visiting the place since Bush was president.
