No reason tradies could not use these in lieu of monstrous RAMMS/ F150 and other wankpanzers… If only @albomp.bsky.social would incentivise small EVs instead of Dual Cab Utes- maybe would see a decline in road accidents, damaged infrastructure and navigable suburbs #auspol
Mexico unveiled the cargo version of its ultra light electric car that it will begin selling next year for about $10,000. The Mexican government has been leading project development. EV sales in Mexico have been skyrocketing in recent months.
Billionaires make a shit load of their money from tax breaks… aka the $40t debt…

I’m 52… I remember walking to my first school, then catching a bus to the next one. The one after that was the train, and finally a bus to my last school… pretty much same as most of my peers… what on earth happened?
School dropoff accounts for more than 10-14% of all private vehicles on the road during morning rush hour. Clogging up our streets and poisoning our air. This was back in 2009, I can only imagine they account for even more with shifts in commute patterns. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The goods are tariffed… not the countries…
Trump said again today some countries “are just gonna have to pay tariffs.” The news is reporting that Japan, and possibly Scotland, may have to pay a “baseline 15% tariff.” COUNTRIES DON’T PAY TARIFFS. AMERICANS BUYING THE GOODS FROM THOSE COUNTRIES PAY THE TARIFF. Anyone STILL not get that?

Any data on Australian DCs? Where the US goes, Australia follows.. #auspol
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Reading is good, and the decline of reading is not good, but we also shouldn't over-index how important reading is for democracy for civic vitality.
The Death of Reading Has Been Greatly Exaggerated
Reading is good. Reading more would be better. But literate societies can be susceptible to illiberalism.
