Upside down crucifixion would be fitting.

Holy hyperbole batman!

I guess this would be my take as well. "Enlightened Self-interest".

Good, there should be consequences for not adhering to your contracts, and misusing PII.

Are they the same thing?

Criticism can be harrasment, but harrasment does not nessecary be criticism.

I would imagine the line would be somewhere that concensus (sometimes in the form of the law) say it is. The target of the criticism alone would not be a good measure by itself (I could imagine large polluters would find protest against them harrasment a lot sooner than what the general public would think it is.).

Does the line then become visible when it targets individuals? I think it is a very interesting question.

You could watch some Perun videos on the subject. But THE question seems to be what victory looks like. Russia never was explicit on their objectives and what they would call a win.

Even if Ukraine would receive less help, Russia is not going to steamroll a country filled with people that know that losing to Russia means they will be starved, beaten and murdered.

I hope we don't have to find out, but ita going to be a long and bloody road regardless of outcome.

You seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill. Attacking the tone of the message adds nothing.

The "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" view of the world is something most Americans ascribe to. It might not apply to an individual but it definitely describes the group.

Yes years of corporate propaganda made an impact, I hope for them they can be the change they want to see.

I guess it is possible.

I sort of get your point, but sometimes the truth also stings a little and people need to be aware that when it's good is when you need to prepare for the downturn, that is the moment to prepare your nestegg, unionize etc.

As I said in the other comment, the Union has been villofied by corpo's that people in the US think they are only to antagonize the company.

I'd probably just raise the gas taxes and inroduce the new taxes for EV's

Well flat vehicle taxing based on weight, ICE engines are taxed additionally by tax on fuel. Not all taxation needs to/should happen in a single space.

If the US raises gas prices the desire to drive gas guzzling pickups and SUVs will automatically lower (I hope).

And about paying taxes for something im not leveraging.. depending on the tax burden and possible energy saving based on reduced weight I don't know. It might just be fully impractical as a system that allows for easy swap in and out of batteries might add so much weight and complexity it makes the whole exercise pointless anyway.

I'm mostly just hoping on improvements in battery tech in general. That aging EVs can be equipped with newer batteries with higher power density.
