Second, if everyone waits, we dont progress. There have to be growing pains and people willing to endure them. If youre not helping, youre just a distraction. |

No the issue is that this "progress" should be funded by the private sector and not forced on tax payers. May be you noticed we are at 34.06Trillion in debt. |

Amusing. As an investor I give a shit if corporations make profit. I know, stupid of me, right? We all should just earn a universal basic income and all drive just the one single-model car the government produces for us. Well, I'm different. Should I apologize here?

[/QUOTE] Man, people still eat tide pods. Do you not think the private sector is also investing in this? They are about to build billions in factories that, if EVs dont catch on, would require significant investment to repurpose something that the govt is not required to buy back from them. They could be stuck with state of the art factories that produce nothing. All the investment from govt is just proving to the markets that govt is on board with adopting this new technology; basically subsidizing demand until 2035. Can capitalism radically change our world in 10 years? |

And why do you think this: “ just the one single-model car the government produces for us.” Wouldn't the ‘global elite’ give everyone ‘the illusion of choice’ by having 2-3 big companies produce only the products “they” want? The ‘illusion of capitalism’ keeps them in line? Last edited by murderspice; 01-25-2024 at 02:08 PM.. Reason: “Quotes” |

BTW, I ran all five of my car's engines at once this morning. The 325i was dead. Checked the other 4. Oh, shit, I also ran the diesel tractor to jump the 325i. It was the only vehicle I could get close enough for the cables to reach... |

Summary of Hybrid from Japanese car manufactures: Toyota - the best and absolute bullet proof Hybrid and highly refined in design, planetary gear E-CVT transmission won't break Honda IMA - old hybrid system that Honda no longer makes it, it's similar to the Mild Hybrid that's called by another manufacturer Honda new hybrid system - near Toyota's reliability but small different in design than Toyota's hybrid, it has 2 clutches so it will break Hyundai - its Hybrid motor is mated with a DCT tranny, not reliable in long term Subaru - not available in Canada, its Hybrid motor is mated with a DCT tranny, not reliable in long term Mitsubishi - not sure but it has clutches, got a feeling that is similar to Honda's hybrid |
