And making the working class not able to afford proper transportation to and from work is bad for the entire economy not just automotive.
The disconnect is with THEM. Not us. Their idea that only the wealthy matter IS the disconnect. Disconnect doesn’t mean “doesn’t think about it”. It means they fundamentally fail to realize the importance of supplying the people with their needs. Regardless of their thoughts on it, the disconnect is that they purposely don’t care. They are making money “now” and are disconnected from the wants and needs of the majority of the population because all they see is big immediate bucks for a single purchase and not sustainable growth.

That IS the disconnect. No shit it doesn’t care. Everyone knows this. There are MILLIONS of people they could sell products to but they cater only to higher classes.

There is such a disconnect between manufacturing and the public it’s fucking insane.
Here we all are struggling to buy groceries because EVERYTHING is going up and all of these people who make shit (cars and other products) continue as if everyone has the money to by an fucking f150 xlt trim for 70 fucking k. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
In 2013 i bought a brand new F150 Platinum for 48k. Now you can hardly find an xlt for that.

He has already gained inspiration from them. We are the current adults and the new kids are who he we should be looking to.
The past builds a foundation and the next live there while buildings the next foundation.

Reply to Does anyone else listen to music this way? by [deleted]
Iron Maiden- Brave New World was my soundtrack when Diablo 2 came out. The album never fails to make me want to play D2.
My current fixation is He Is Legend - Endless Hallway
I’m finding, as I get older, music I REALLY enjoy is becoming harder and harder for me to find. Its starting to all sound the same.

VR worlds won’t be a “thing” until the way you interface with it gets better. Until then it will feel awkward. Hands are getting better all the time but legs and walking and running are still disjointed of you need to use something other than your legs to do the moving.
AR on the other hand has only visuals and hands to deal with as you are interacting with VR things in the “real world”. I can see AR being a big “thing” soon but the device needs to be smaller lighter and more portable and longer lasting on battery. Imagine theaters that no longer need to set up big projectors and speakers and just streams into your AR set and displays a massive IMAX level screen and headphones you supply or the theater supplies.

Argument for an artificial magnetosphere. Maintenance cost over the long run (hundreds-thousands of years) vs development of AM and less need for maintenance upkeep of the surface. Otherwise, if it’s not really needed then 🤷🏻♂️.

They can’t do anything more with dark energy until it is “found/discovered”
It’s just a hypothesis because they know there is something there that’s doing something about the expansion. Until dark energy, whatever it may actually be, is found it is just a sort of variable in a math equation.

Yeah science needs to make sure the 1 is without a doubt 1 and 2 is absolutely 2 just so they can figure out what 3 is.
And even then there is always the chance that 1 isn’t quite correct.
We can’t even see dark energy with our equipment. It’s called “dark energy” for a reason.

Reply to comment by WileyQuixote42 in Mental health over salary? Spanish workers shifting their priorities despite high unemployment by mancinedinburgh
The “American” dream was real a long time ago. People could buy homes and afford food and amenities on a single parent salary.
Somewhere along the line it was taken away. They kept taking their raises and consolidated businesses down to only a handful of “big” companies while giving nothing in return. Record profits &unemployment numbers all at the same time.
Capitalism takes and takes and takes and offers nothing in return. They lobby OUR voted in politicians. They take over smaller companies. They pat themselves on the back for recod breaking profits while walking their offices “layoffs for you! Layoffs for you. You too!” They scream to come back into offices not to help YOU but to make themselves more important and to not break contracts for the office space. Especially when you could do 100% of you work remotely.
When you look at the way the world is moving, it almost has a quality of “purposeful corruption”.
