Reply to Ford hikes prices on its F-150 Lightning again, as production resumes after EV battery fire by Shakawakahn
They're just ensuring that most people won't own electric vehicles any time soon. I was curious about replacing my work trucks with electric, but when I saw the price tag it'll have to wait another decade or two. Not a goddamn chance I'd pay anything close to what they're asking.

That is a comically large side of cow. Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer and Bart become truckers because they beat a trucker in a steak eating contest...or something like that. Been a while since I saw it.

Nobody when you spell it "jipped". When its spelled "gyp'd" or "gypped" it refers to Gypsys, alluding to the stereotype that they will swindle you or steal from you.

Well, since nearly all Americans retirement plans rely on it - even most pensions are invested in it to a large extent - I would say...a lot of people care, lol.

Correction: the Fed will raise rates because they kept doing it and it hasn't worked at all so why not try it some more to hurt working class Americans even more while ignoring the actual cause of inflation which is corporate opportunism

Reply to comment by Bobodahobo010101 in TIL On Christmas Eve 1969, Francisco Macias Nguema had 186 suspected dissidents executed in the national football stadium in Malabo with the executioners dressed as Santa Claus, with the amplifiers played Mary Hopkin's song "Those Were the Days". by Osrever101
Dennis Hopper actually got drunk and invited a bunch of people to a speedway and sat in a chair while everyone watched and lit dynamite beneath it, it exploded and he survived. There is actually video of it. Another weirdly tangential stadium story for you.

Well, it says "average income" per capita and $48k is $24/hr... in like 95% of the country today, most people make that or less than that. Many states where most workers make half that.

You're assuming any of that matters to this court. And it doesn't. It's a big part of why a lot of people view the Supreme Court as illegitimate.

Live in the Bay, can confirm. The work culture here is toxic and evey time you turn around, companies are squeezing more work into less positions for the same pay.

The delusion is very real here in the Bay. People are actually like this, its mindblowing...meanwhile my friends kids are witnessing dead bodies being shoved out of vans at stop signs in broad daylight and all the dudes working the taco trucks wear bullet vests. At minimum twice a week i hear sideshows and gunfire within a couple block radius. Totally super normal...and our DA's are letting it all ride.
It's a trip living and working around some of the planted wealthiest zip codes but much of it looks like a third world country...

Reply to comment by Mountain-rescues in Factbox: About 1.2 million without power in United States from winter storms by Smithy2232
Everytime I see above-ground wires strewn between fucking wooden posts sticking out of the ground, I'm reminded how poor our infrastructure is in the US. We need to have started investing in buried line decades ago. Edison himself would recognize the technology and that should concern us all.
My rural county got cut off for two weeks about three winters ago. It was traced back to the fact that power for over 150,000 people could be traced to one. fucking. line. coming over a hill and a blown-over tree took it. Ridiculous.
Instead of proper upgrades that utility company (PG&E here in California) chooses to pay out stock dividends to investors. Their negligence has resulted in death and destruction in the form of everything from fire their equipment has started to leveling entire blocks of cities like the infamous San Bruno gas line explosion. We need to get our priorities straight and stop giving these companies a pass.

Why get a genny when you are reliant on gas when wood is a sustainable and renewable fuel source? My family has harvested and replanted groves of trees for fuel for five generations on their one piece of land.

Reply to comment by WickedDemiurge in Chinese doctors and nurses reportedly told to work while infected as Covid surges by Neo2199
I think it still rightly freaks people out because the Chinese government is famously impartial to the quality of life or well-being of their population. They have a long track record of putting productivity at the top end of all public interests. Why do they care so much about this still, at the extreme detriment of things like business and productivity? Personally it sometimes makes me think they still know something about it that we don't.

There are exchanges that can't be regulated (called DEX's)
If there is crackdown on centralized exchanges then more people will just start using DEX's.
