Corporations don't die by the contamination they produce. You do. And if you wanna talk about "things getting a bit out of control", let's talk about the sh*te Corporations do, and the money they make, by polluting the environment (that we will need to clean and pay for it WITH OUR MONEY!) meanwhile corporations go away with the money they made while they were leaving the Earth like a trash bin.

Comment Let's talk about Europe. (Score 1) 153

The same system that "doesn't promote innovation" has created ASML and Airbus. Why, oh why, there's no competitor to ASML ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD? And why, oh why, is Boeing failling and Airbus don't make any more planes because, american and asian "innovators" are incapable of providing more parts?

Are these "innovations" like social networks or AI beneficial? Because if they are not, and everyday that passes the first one is more horrible and the second more stupid, why we have to have them and sustain crazy billionares?

By using the official EU languages they forgotten to add support for some of the most used languages in the EU. That has no official status in the EU. Yep, there are languages spoken in the EU, with official status in one or more countries, that have more speakers than a lot of the official languages that have official EU status. Ahhh! The EU and its shitty rules will never stop being less than "amazing"!

So, most probably, if the fire didn't start at the kitchen of the ship, it was one of the hybrid cars using NMC (ternary lithium batteries). It's worth noting that this batteries are being phase out, even in China: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.china-certificatio... So, if you buy a decent modern EV, with batteries made by BYD or CATL, the only risk of fire is if you drop a can of gas over the car.

Try to publish any article from your favorite encyclopedia about the BIOLOGICAL concept of Intersex. Doesn't need to be about biological intersex on humans or mammals, any species will suffice. So long for not being "censored"? Or right wing pundits are afraid of Nature not being binary or "perfect"?

Oh my God, you're completely brainwash in the US and A. Here it's quite easy, you wanna live? You have public healthcare. What they do? ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE. ANYTHING.

It's so easy every country in the World does it. Only third World countries and the USA have problems with this. Why?

This is the most MORONIC think I've ever read. For God sakes, we have the BEST transplant system in the World. Are we in the US and A? F*cking NO! It's a public service available to ANYONE THAT MAY NEED IT. It's so FUN looking at the faces of the sad "Amerriccan tourists" when they have to go to a hospital here and they discover that they have been RIPPED OFF their entire lives... They brainwash you or what??? F*cking RES PUBLICA! Even the Romans knew it (they learned it the hard way) and men, you don't know greed as they did. And never will do.

Comment Price and chargers (Score 2) 315

Here, in the EU, EVs are starting to be cheaper tan their equivalents ICE counterparts. Yeap, I'm a heretic, but just compare prices (I did it, 'cause I've to change my car and I'm baffled because of this. I was in the mantra that EVs where more expensive). And I'm not taking into account any kind of help from the governments. Just compare the price of a Model 3 or Y (or a BYD, or Volvo,...) against it's ICE rivals. Also, the cheap electric cars are coming (at long last). Citroen EC3, VW ID2, ... The problem are the charging infrastructure that is lacking. I'm a lucky guy, 'cause I life in a not so populated area and by the grace of, whatever, we have a surplus of chargers. In my town, only from Tesla, we have 2 superchargers stations with 10 chargers each. And, also, we have other chargers (supermarkets, on parkings, ...). Until, recently, what was strange was seeing them being used.

Why do you need a SUV? Or a pick up if you don't work with it? That's a mystery that no one is able to solve to me. And don't come with the bullshit that on the weekends, blah, blah, blah. I live in the countryside, and I have an Audi S4. A neighbour has changed his Macan for an RS6. We don't need an SUV. Why do you don't live in the countryside? Yes we have 4x4 vehicles. But in the places that we use them, forget going in with a SUV. Their more dangerous too, their more prone to overturn (higher center of gravity). It's just for the, fake, sensation of security that you buy a SUV?

This goes to all bullshitters. EV's will not go away (drown in gasoline if you like it so much), and as Hydrogen it's not yet here, we will need to stick with gas for those who make long journeys (and I mean LOOONNGGGGGG), and don't have chargers in the route. Taxis are not an example. In my city their going electric, fast. Availability of charging points and more range makes the drivers happy (because their A LOT CHEAPER than gas you petrol head morons). And, as always, cheaper wins (long life to Capitalism!).
