I have both been able to work and get food without using a car.

$7trillion is three times the GDP if Brazil. It is bigger then the US federal budget. Seriously it is insane.

They had 700 tanks in decent shape in storage in about July. However tanks will be in factories being refurbished and obviously a lot more tanks are on the front line. That are very likely a few thousand tanks.

So they probably will start to have problems replacing losses soonish. They might buy some from North Korea or Iran though.

Even a Trump victory would not mean an end of the fighting though. Europe is supplying more weapons then the US and Ukraine also has arms production. So no overruning Ukraine.

How do people die from not having a car? It must be a lot of them, given that most can not afford them, but depend on them…

That includes downstream emissions. So if your car runs on BP oil, those emissions would be part of BPs emissions.

There is a reason BP is not advertising people to drop their cars. BP wants two things in its campaign. First of all to make clear that it is your lifestyles fault and secondly that besides munor changes you do not have to change that at all.

The line is reduce, reuse and then recycle for a reason. Not buying something and buying second hand are affordable for everybody. Unfortunatly the later takes more time.

Also boots theory is something to keep in mind. As in buying quality is often cheaper over the long term.

Right now the Houthis in practise blockade the Bab-el-Mandeb for everybody. The first ship they sunk Rubymar, was Belize flagged and Lebanese operated and ultimatly owned. It also caused a massive enviromental disaster in the region, due to carrying fertilizer.

What I am saying, is that an act of war against Lebanon, is not a moral response to actions of the state of Israel.

However you clearly disagree with that and consider any and all action justified as long as somebody labels them anti Israel.

Lenin ended any oppurtunity for none CPSU members to be elected to the Soviets and banned factions in the CPSU in 1921. He then eliminated opposition with the Cheka. Even before that the Communists acted under “war communism”, which meant killing anybody not 100% in line. That very much included Machnos work in setting up a Soviet Democracy in Ukraine, due to them being Anarchists. Stalin then abolished the Soviets in 1936.

The Soviet Union had a bit of it, in the very beginning, but it failed and turned into a statist dictatorship. That is why Stalin ordered the Anarchists to be killed in Spain as well, the Prague Spring got crushed due to moving into a more democratic direction as well as many other movements of worker uprisings.

Socialism means collective ownership of the means of production. The issue with the Soviet Union was that all means of production were controlled by the state. However there was no way in which the people controlled the state, since at least 1936 and argueably earlier then that.

Half of Alaskas population lives in Anchorage and gas is expensive.

UniCredit daughter Hypovereinsbank is already the 7th largest bank in Germany and about half the size of Commerzbank. If you exclude government owned banks Hypovereinsbank would be number 5 and Commerzbank 2 largest in Germany by assests. Deutsche Bank would be larger but only slightly. However Deutsche is already too big too fail, as is Unicredit.

This is just a bad idea all around.

There is a hard cut off in 2035 and emission laws pretty much force a share of EVs. Starting next year that will be about 37%.

However a lot can make a car better, which has nothing to do with the drive train. Old car makers certainly can play that game.

I love that. Makes sure car sales in the EU stay low.

Israel did control a part of Lebanon for a bit.

Sanctions are not a blockade. Sanctions would be the Houthis stopping all of their own trade with Israel for example. The Houthis blockading Israel mesns they try to stop everybody from trading with Israel by force. Hence a blockade is an act of war.

And no I do not believe somebody being vegan is an act of war.

WTF is going on with “innocent until proven guilty”. She just got charged and not convicted after all. Her former boss really should pay compensation for lost income.

PHEVs are below 50miles of offical electric range. In the real world it is lower. So nowhere close to 80 miles.

So you have a choice, fill up your car in a gas station on a regular bases or wait a bit longer when you charge up on a longer road trip.

Obviously ideal would be hsr for longer trips, but well.

Bei den Balkonkraftwerken hat es geklappt.

Most Americans do not live in a trailer, which they need to tow for 90miles on a regular bases. In fact most probably have never towed anything.

20min charging after 3h drive is totally fine. There are people who actually like to take a break from driving, take a piss and eat something decent when on the road.

The reailty is that most Americans stay within EV range for months, only going to work, shopping and local social stuff. That means no gas station for months.

Nein, das Thema wird im deutschen Bundestag debattiert.
