  • The price and quality go hand in hand.

    Things have a cost and if you’re not paying it in full, somebody else has to. Maybe it’s the Chinese government. Maybe it’s the slave who built it. Maybe it’s future you, struggling to engage windshield wipers on an unresponsive piece of garbage while on the highway.

    The price of EVs is due in large part to the battery, so there is only so much you can cut. Some companies sell you a battery with a bare bone car around it (see Dacia spring), others try to justify the price by selling you a premium car (see ioniq or tesla), and others cut down on the battery by selling you a city car with a very limited range (see Renault Zoe or that funny mini car from Citroen).

    As things stand now there is just no way to make an EV with both comparable price and performance to an ICE. What needs to happen is technological development on batteries, which would have been much better by now had we bothered to give a fuck years ago.






  • Fuck me I meant hamas obviously sorry for the confusion. All the news are about hezbollah nowadays so I had a brain fart.

    With that said- Hamas was elected forever ago and has since abused and brainwashed their population, they don’t represent Palestine any more than Putin represents the Russian people, which is to say the least debatable. Of course it doesn’t help that Israel did absolutely nothing to be hated less.

    Hamas=Palestine is what Israel wants you to think. That’s two millions of terrorists over there, what’s the harm in bombing them? Since when are we nice to terrorists? — don’t let your disgust for Israel play you into their hand.

    As for their endgame - do you think Hamas did 7/10 in order to have land back? In what world was a massacre of civilians going to give them bargaining power? They baited Israel into behaving like monsters out in the open at the expense of their own population, and Israel bit hook line and sinker. That was Hamas’s objective and it worked.
