I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it’s a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

I don’t think their research is in conflict with your perception here.
“The study found that just having a first-class section on an airplane quadrupled the chance of an air rage incident and that loading economy passengers through first class doubles that again.”
The whole experience is shit and having a first class section makes it even worse psychologically.
What type of business?
I want to thank you for your reply. Hearing about someone like you and your attempt to improve your community and the world I the ways you can is so uplifting!
People are social (even the introverts) and the return on in person, deep social interaction is another reason it’s important to fight the allure of convenience of online media being ones primary and most influencial social interaction. I love that you’re doing it!
“The solar power producers during the day, and fossil legacy plants in the night.”
Thus is precisely the bottle neck I was referring to.
Batteries are the bottleneck now that solar PV equipment is so cheap. I’m excited to see how ot plays out.
It has the potential to be a primary vehicle for most people.
After 100% tarrif, it might still be competitive with the lackluster options in the lower end of EV in the US.
Rather than take a defeatist veiw from this line if thinking, it will do well for your mental health to first spend more time, energy and thoughts on things you can control. Not just things related to environmentalism, but broadly reduce energy, engagement and focus from the things you don’t have significant control over and direct them to those things you do have control. It’s good to get a broad picture and observe the world around you outside of your control in small doses, but it’s easy to over indulge in an unfocused survey of problems in the world, especially on social media. (I include Lemmy communities in the social media category).
Furthermore, when you do engage with these problems, do so with more narrow focus and in more depth with an eye towards understanding the level of impact the problem has and what organizations or policy positions you can support to amplify your limited influence over the issues that causee the problem. In this way you can mitigate the feelings of helplessness and sense of there being many existential and imminent problems you need to contend with but cannot remedy. You can turn seemingly untouchable solutions into real possibilities without overwhelming your emotional capacity by working with others.
I am not happy now.
By chance, sure.
So directly, absolutely not.
Indirectly, probably.
Do you think that prison labor and undocumented workers are a significant portion of the labor used to produce EVs in the USA?
it’s not the manufacturer that bears the cost of tarriffs, it’s the customers.
And the locals that lose their means of providing for themselves.
The counterpoints are about local US employment and thinking comparative advantage is bullshit.
Time to start pushing for EV subsidies from Congress for real.
Elon was already aware of the global landscape and chose Trump as the conduit for government support of the EV market.
Dealerships are also concerned about the direct to consumer model that has shown to be viable and the inevitable tide of Chinese manufacturers taking over the market.
