^ perfect answer, IMO.

I knew it! They ARE blowing smoke!

The next one is that she is not a real woman if they are sticking to the GOP playbook.

Well she is black after all… so that totally follows in MAGAtstan.

Oh he’s never tried to hide that he’s for sale… e.g. https://www.budget.senate.gov/chairman/newsroom/press/budget-finance-committees-launch-joint-investigation-into-donald-trumps-quid-pro-quo-offer-to-big-oil-

That’s the worst I’ve heard about Harris so far from the conservatives I know.

Oh rest assured they do far far worse. DEI hire, slept her way to the top… all the hits from the same old show.

If only it were physically possible to change that. Alas, the fifth law of thermodynamics says profit above all.

It is possible to change it, of course, but every attempt thus far has ended in authoritarian political systems with even less opportunity for you to be housed, fed and well cared for, much less able to get things like affordable EVs.

I’m pretty convinced, sadly, that this is mainly because humans basically suck.

By minimizing costs, including R&D. Further, the lower the price the lower the profit and usually the lower the margin. Companies are not incentivitized to make less money.

This is pretty basic stuff…

Ford could put all their R&D money into developing low-cost EVs,

Thus making the EVs very expensive… just sayin’

Edit: I don’t know why you are downvoting. These are economic realities as they exist today. More R&D => greater costs => higher price. Fully Automated Luxury Communism is, unfortunately, not a likely reality in our lifetimes.

These are facts whether you like them or not.

I feel like “Republican objections” is kinda redundant here.

That’s cheap… I’ve paid over $500 -with- insurance.

I’ve had good luck with them over 3 pairs. I get the exam at Costco and then buy from Zenni. The most expensive pair so far has been $108 for progressives with anti-glare etc although that was during a sale. They are better quality and have lasted longer than almost anything I’ve got from the traditional optometrists places, even when I’ve gone higher end. Even better, you can select the distance for computer, mid or distance - I wear one of 4 pairs depending on what I’m doing - AND they don’t check your prescription so you can use an old one if you know that works for you.

Ain’t never going back.

Being internally happy and content.

And yet 5/10 keep electing fuckwits.

Sure, right. Because I’m sure you are free and clear of centuries of systemic white supremacy… Uh huh.

The left has GOT to stop using race/skin color.

You first.

She should start calling him “Done-Old”

Yeah, Nebula is quite good. Really like Curiosity Stream too… I subscribe to both.

But alas, most channels I follow are Youtube only and not likely to change :(

Take control of the DNC away from the center right and get progressives in charge.

And in your mind does that get more or less votes overall? Does it actually win elections?

Because incredibly, not everyone is progressive. I know, it’s insane to me too. But that’s the unfortunate reality.

But do you have a viable alternative in your back pocket?
