It's actually worse for EVs. Any gas powered car has a range of 400+ miles. Only one or two EVs have a range even close to that. When you look the comparison between a gas car and an EV car having equivalent range, the CO2 payback is 200K miles+.
Read thru all the comments, and surprised to see nobody recommending self insurance. For gadgets like this, take the money you would have paid for insurance and put it in a savings account. If you need a repair, pay from that account. After several years, you'll build up a substantial balance.
Think of this analogy: Almost every driver in the US breaks traffic laws every time they drive. They speed, cross a line, don't come to a complete stop at stop signs, etc. Imagine that there was a company in charge of doling out violations, and only conservative drivers were having their licenses revoked.
Every platform has people who violate the TOS, and by that standard, they all should be deplatformed. But that is not happening. You cannot say with any level of proof that Parler was worse at moderating content than any of the other social platforms
I do not feel this will appeal to people who buy a truck for frequent towing. 300 mile range unloaded = 150 mile range under load. With a camper in tow, you'll be stopping every 100-120 miles to recharge. How exactly will you recharge with a 30 foot trailer attached?
This will appeal to businesses that need to broadcast their eco sensibilities to us.
The container deposit laws pervert the recycling process by taking the only things worth recycling (aluminum cans) out of the single recycle stream.
I have to pay extra for recycling in my town. However, if there wasn't a bottle bill, it would likely be free, as the recycling companies would gladly take all recyclables in exchange for the aluminum cans.
A recent trip to the UK was enlightening for me. Their roadways have a fraction of the traffic lights and stop signs that we have on the east coast. We need to remove stoplights from lightly trafficked intersections. For heavy use intersections, replace with rotaries. The glut of suburban stop signs need to be replaced with yield signs.
Schools can't attract competent STEM teachers because the pay is so low. It makes no sense that an English teacher should get the same pay as a STEM teacher.
STEM teachers should get at least a 50% skills differential in pay.
"In fact, Wal-Mart’s unwillingness to pay most of their workers a livable wage"
Wal-Mart is paying their workers what the market will bear. In fact, it can be argued they are paying MORE than the market can bear, since they have 25 applicants for every opening.
Most phones are sold thru wireless carriers. Since the Nexus phones can't be loaded up with carrier bloatware, they have little to no motivation to sell it.
Search only interfaces are limiting. I feel you need both - a hierarchy is a valuable tool for browsing, if you aren't sure what you are searching for.
