It’s a bandaid fix though. Abolishing capitalism so that we could focus on innovation without needing to monetise it in order to eat is a better idea.

Underfunded infrastructure isn’t going to improve as a result of less tax though.

Unless there is a deliberate attempt to make EVs pay a lower share of road maintenance costs as part of a plan to increase uptake, with that lost funding collected elsewhere, you’re just making roads worse by leaving the tax off.

There are a lot fewer staff around than TV would have you believe. You would need basically 1-on-1 supervision until the drug wore off, which is very resource intensive compared to a one-time intervention.

Put a thermometer in plain view and tape your phone number to the window as a backup in case someone is unable to see the thermometer, or your AC has malfunctioned and there is an actual issue.

I’ve heard anecdotes of soldiers having a bullet stopped by a medkit, field manual, or other fortuitous kit they kept in their pockets. With enough bullets fired and enough soldiers wearing crosses there must have been at least one who had a hefty enough cross in just the right place to catch a bullet which would otherwise have been fatal.

Mouse and keyboard is superior to a controller in almost every aspect. There are probably some games or types of games where a controller is more responsive, but I doubt they are the majority. If you have a machine that already has a mouse and keyboard, the market for controllers then becomes restricted to that niche where it actually offers a benefit.

If you took all of the posts on the internet at face value, and didnt understand what a meme was, you’d probably treat it as a fact that birds aren’t real, and pigeons are government surveillance drones.
