  • because expensiveness is a scale that starts from 0 so you always know how expensive everything is. cheapness works the other way, so there’s no starting point. that means there’s no way to quantify how cheap the first thing is, in order to double that. in your example gasoline would have to be the least cheap thing possible, which means nothing can be more expensive.

    it’s like saying someone’s twice as short as someone else. half as tall makes sense, twice as short is a weird way to say it because how short is the first person?













  • Elon musk himself is responsible for so much car centric bullshit. he has his own tunnels, his own chargers, he does everything he can to stop any anti-car development, and he has the most dangerous cars out there. this is only one of them by the way, the one that has sharp hard metal corners that are meant to slice pedestrians in half, but his other cars spontaneously combust.
