  • Even if it weren’t for all the political stuff Tesla’s are just not very good cars, combined with a truly awful customer service experience.

    I have no idea what BYD’s customer service experiences like but the fact that the cars seem to have actually gone through some kind of QA means that they can only be an improvement



  • The US is well behind in medicine already. Because of the for-profit health system hospitals aren’t encouraged to try procedures that aren’t covered by insurance companies, and insurance companies aren’t incentivized to add new procedures to their coverage because they can’t be bothered to review them.

    It’s the same issue with off-label prescription drugs, It’s the drug isn’t explicitly designed to treat a condition, it won’t be prescribed even if it could help e.g. using antibiotics to treat cancer has proven to be surprisingly effective, but no hospital in the US will do it.
