I’ll take the word of a Nobel Prize laureate over a “funny or die” video any day, but that’s just me.

This encapsulates what I have been saying for the last decade + Please watch and comment

Do you have a link?

Except electric car technology is more than a century old.

You’ve probably never heard of David Beckham either. You need to get out more.

No lamentations here, just reporting on the mood of the country. The damage done by inflation to one’s personal finances is much more tangible than GDP and the polls reflect this reality. “A recent CBS News poll found that 65% of Americans remember the economy under former President Donald Trump as being good, compared with 38% giving the current economy under President Joe Biden the same positive assessment.”

Oh I have benefited handsomely as the cost of rental housing has significantly outpaced overall inflation and I just happen to own a few rental properties.

“An electric vehicle business backed by David Beckham and championed by Sir Keir Starmer has put its commercial arm into administration after production setbacks, the Standard can reveal. Silverstone-based Lunaz, which installs electric engines into commercial vehicles such as lorries as well as into classic cars like Aston Martin and Rolls Royce models, today said it had ceased operations of its commercial unit” https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/david-beckham-backed-ev-firm-172426782.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHZwoRGKxP7-z04DYw68b0Uj684zMBnKml-orrtul3gnQjp-6x0gFRkGUgnvfKGISikqwedakv9YfDcmHrWuRYerJlfkUh69HU8xaYg18MDpKCLtyFGAj8Amfx4jKacthSBF1WTQrTvJiMNuypdpYSeQqm1FqMixkp1SW1876n6k Another one bites the dust

As long as inflation outpaces GDP growth, there is nothing to brag about
-
It’s just a simple matter of supply and demand. Rental companies are liquidating their inventory at the same time demand is drying up. The result is a plunge in value.

Price drop? How about price collapse?
-
EVs produce about 20% more pollution than ICE vehicles according to science.
-
How about actual evidence? One’s reasoning can be clouded by emotion.

Did a 14 miles of single track yesterday (mountain biking) and for the life of me I couldn’t see the evidence of global calamity. Clear blue skies, temperatures in the lower 40 and just enough breeze to stay comfortable. No hellscape of coal mines and fracking (even though I’m in the middle of the Marcellus shale formation) sorry but you are going to have to give me actual evidence of this climate cataclysm before I reconsider my position. (You guys need to lay off the NPR an MSBC and trust your own eyes)

Honda Accord coup: 3500 lbs Tesla model 3 3800 lbs My wife’s GLS 450 weighs about the same as a Tesla X (5489 respectively 5390) and the GLS is more capable. For the sake of the planet I will keep my Honda and Mercedes.

“Used electric vehicles are depreciating 10 times faster than their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study from iSeeCars.com. The average price of a used electric vehicle plummeted 31.8% over the last 12 months, compared with a 3.6% decline overall.” Not only are EVs worthless they are also worth less.

https://e360.yale.edu/features/tire-pollution-toxic-chemicals Report from Yale (that far right bastion of conservative propaganda)

“What the study found was that “brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes.” “Recent studies show that the mass of PM 2.5 and PM 10 emissions — which are, along with ozone and ultrafine particles, the world’s primary air pollutants — from tires and brakes far exceeds the mass of emissions from tailpipes”
-
“According to data from Emissions Analytics, EVs tend to shed around 20 percent more from their tires due to their higher weight and high torque compared to traditional internal combustion engine-powered vehicles.” “According to a recent report issued by researchers at Imperial College London, “There is emerging evidence that tyre wear particles and other particulate matter may contribute to a range of negative health impacts including heart, lung, developmental, reproductive, and cancer outcomes.”
-
Wall Street Journal not FOX News. BTW the excessive tire wear and the associated pollution comes from the prodigious weight of the vehicles, which incidentally, results in more damage to infrastructure than their ICE counterparts.

https://issuesinsights.com/2024/03/14/do-only-suckers-buy-evs/ “The Journal was highlighting a study from 2022 that, naturally, was ignored by the mainstream press at the time. What the study found was that “brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes.” Why? Because EVs are as much as 30% heavier than gas-powered cars, which means more stress on their “regenerative” breaks and much faster tire wear.” Who was it on this forum who accused me of nitpicking when I listed excessive tire wear as one of the drawbacks of EVs?

Let us not forget the reason she blames for her failed presidential bid. It was the racism and misogyny of the Democrat primary voters.
-
Has nothing to do with her morality questionable past, we have has several presidents with that, (LBJ, JFK, Clinton and of course Trump).
-
I’m voting for the No Labels candidate

His obvious decline aside, it is his is policies with which I take issue. That said actuarial tables say he will not serve out his term and that will leave us with this…
