  • It’s a nice plane, but it’s likely at a dead end. It was designed to be stretched and reach into the territory of the A320 and Boeing 737. Airbus doesn’t really have an incentive to stretch it for a couple reasons. It would cut into their A320 sales which is selling like crazy right now. It also has a different cockpit layout to other Airbus aircraft so it’s harder to cross train pilots from an A220 to other Airbus aircraft. Bombardier built a good plane, but the US Congress screwed them to protect Boeing.


  • They almost became Boeing. Boeing basically asked congress to tariff the Bombardier C series so hard that nobody would import it. Congress responded by introducing a tariff even higher than what Boeing asked for. Airbus had a manufacturing plant in the US and made a deal with Bombardier to build the C series there to avoid the tariff. That’s how the A220 came into existence. Initially it was selling so well that Boeing looked into buying Embraer to have competition in the regional jet market.












  • To me, this reads strongly like someone who is confidently incorrect. Your starting premise is incorrect. You are claiming Forgejo will do this. Forgejo is nothing but an open source project designed to self host. If you were making this claim about Codeberg, the project’s hosted version, then your starting premise would be correct. Obviously, they monetize Codeberg because they’re providing a service. That monetization feeds Forgejo development. They could also sell official support for people hosting their own instances of Forgejo. This is a very common thing that open source companies do…





  • Dude, a brand new Hyundai Ioniq 5 starts at $42k. The used Mercedes doesn’t cost -$8. Also, if you’re in a country that uses Euros, that explains a lot. Your part costs are much cheaper for those German cars than ours are. If I lived in Europe my opinion would likely be different on German cars. Here in the US, if you used Lexus as an example, it would be a much easier argument for you to make.

    I’m not even trying to say that a new car is more financially sound. That’s a silly stance to take. But a 10 year old car just isn’t going to have the same safety standards and tech of a new car.
