China and Russia are pushing their people to have more kids and increase their numbers while amplifying the sentiment that people from enemy nations shouldn’t have kids.

More like claiming that democrats lost the election because they weren’t far enough left when the polls say it was because of inflation.

Why? Because there aren’t as many leftist as lemmy would make you think.

Considering the fact that it is part of Russias strategy to polarize American politics to extremes so we can’t get anything done, and I dont see any of the leftists opinions from lemmy irl. I think most of it is being pushed by foreign actors.

And when cities get revenue from traffic violations, traffic violations go up. Funny how that works.

Lmao

Cuban missle crisis 2.0

Because it’s Russia advocating to lift the embargo which was put in place because of the Cuban missle crisis right?

All this talk to brag they’re gonna match the “price structure” (whatever that means) of a vehicle that starts at $53,400 by 2027.

What a joke.

The spyware you are mentioning is in gas cars too. It isn’t exclusive to EVs it is a problem with all new cars.

If you buy a PHEV be prepared for the cost of a gas car and an EV combined

I’ve found the range is better than what they claim for stop and go city driving due to regen braking. But otherwise the range estimate is about as accurate as the miles per gallon estimate on a gas car.

It is definitely way cheaper to own than a gas car.

When you ignore politics:

A 72 year old soldier? Sus

During the pandemic they had to choose between go remote or close up shop. They didn’t have much choice.

Seems that once Covid stabilized they’ve been trying to force everyone back.

That’s nice but it doesn’t change the facts:

The software that you are stating “gets bloated” is in all vehicles, not just EVs.

Combistion vehicles have more inputs and outputs to incorporate in the bloated software than EVs.

Right, the centralized control systems that get bloated with software are not unique to EVs. Like I said. And those centralized control systems have more inputs and outputs to interact with on an ICE than on an EV because an ICE has more components.

I’m not a hobbyist. I was a master automotive mechanic for over 20 years and I am now a software developer. I feel the need to say this because you are restating the same points I already address in a more verbose way as if you are hoping to make it sound too complicated for the average person to refute.

Right but both EVs and ICE vehicles have infotainment systems. ICE vehicles have more components that require software in addition to that.

ICE vehicles have more software because they have more components. They have a transmission control module and an engine control module both of which have a lot of sensors to read and outputs to control. Much more than a simple EV would have.
