Welcome to the United States, where consumers built the internet infrastructure that monopolies profit from and fight tooth and nail to prevent communities from providing high speed internet to its residents. Capitalism at its most corrupt: privatize profits and socialize capital costs and losses.

Snarky answer: “yes, and when there’s another hurricane the insurance can just claim bankruptcy and pass the bailout costs to taxpayers.”

Try living amongst them. They are dumb farm animals with anger management issues and don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves and “owning the libs”. I’m convinced they’re all sociopaths.

Your points are valid for all brands outside of Tesla, btw. Virtually no vampire drain now whereas a few years ago your statement was correct. And I can get from 20->80% in about 20 minutes. Really not an issue to supercharge with how common Tesla superchargers are. All of the advantages outweigh the mild disadvantage of having to charge at superchargers.

I drove 2 hybrids until I got an EV. Will never go back. Concerns about EVs melt away once you’ve driven one. Charging is less of a hassle than you think.

The fact that they would put this in a hybrid means there’s something limiting it (ie poor discharge power, overheats easily, etc).

Bots and/or shills on Lemmy already?

The word benefit and slavery should only be used together when talking about slaveowners and the 1700s-1800s US economy.

Lol

So ceiling is 30% and with Trump present his ceiling is 4%.

Don’t forget that Trump is now a convicted rapist, as confirmed by the judge in his E Jean Carroll case. Close to half of the US population is willing to vote for a convicted rapist. Now tell me democracy is not in peril in the United States with a straight face.

Feel free to be pedantic, but my point remains: historically and currently capitalism strives for infinite growth and cares not for resource limitations.

Now, can capitalism serve both purposes? Of course. Technological improvements developed by capitalism can (and must) improve environmental and resource impacts of population needs. Does it currently? Not nearly enough. How to direct capitalism to become a better steward for the planet and its resources is a separate topic and discussion. OP asked a question that I was answering without getting into the weeds.

Refer this to that DOJ and get back to doing your jobs. So sick of this theatrical “they’re all the same” BS.

People, pay no attention to “allegations” of wrongdoing. If you just keep score based upon convictions and plea bargains, it is clear which team is committing 90% of the crimes.

Personally I’d like to thank Steve Huffman. Without him I would not have discovered Lemmy and I really like it here!

Pretty simple really: capitalism requires infinite growth. We have finite resources. The world is literally melting around us due to unsustainability.

The pet peeve of many people is the greed (of billionaires, politicians, global companies, etc) for wealth (paper, essentially) yet not giving a flying fuck about the anyone else or the rest of the planet.

Can we see an article with which insurance is left? Will there only be smaller companies that just claim bankruptcy after the next hurricane and then Florida asks taxpayers to bail them out? Fuck that.

The real crime is intentional sabotage of the educational systems so the voting population has no critical thinking skills. When I was a kid we did an experiment in the 5th grade showing increased Co2 in a glass bottle increases the temperature in the bottle. Now here we are debating the 5G chips in the Covid vaccine and arguing about which media/politician/company is more corrupt or biased. The universe would be better off if a benevolent alien life form exterminated humans and let evolution start over.
