And making the working class not able to afford proper transportation to and from work is bad for the entire economy not just automotive.

The disconnect is with THEM. Not us. Their idea that only the wealthy matter IS the disconnect. Disconnect doesn’t mean “doesn’t think about it”. It means they fundamentally fail to realize the importance of supplying the people with their needs. Regardless of their thoughts on it, the disconnect is that they purposely don’t care. They are making money “now” and are disconnected from the wants and needs of the majority of the population because all they see is big immediate bucks for a single purchase and not sustainable growth.

Reply to comment by katiecharm in ‘Vulkan files’ leak reveals Putin’s global and domestic cyberwarfare tactics by boomership

So many times I see the same comments that could be foreign agents or just dumb people repeating their rhetoric:

Elite being above the law

Subsidized costs, privatized profit

over on (other sub) they’re saying…

police are a gang

There are so many statements that end conversation and head toward apathy and giving up. And then there’s dark humor on sensitive subjects.

Like, I can’t tell who’s a real person, but if I was paid to be a divisive warrior using social media, those are exactly the things I’d promote. And I’d get upvotes along the way, which is the scary part making me question the quantity of bad actors at play.

Reply to Turkish parliament ratifies Finland's NATO accession as Sweden kept waiting by SvgCanvas

As much as I am to loathe the fact that the Turkish government is holding Swedish support for the Kurds over their head, I think the realpolitikal move as the Swedes would be to pay enough lip service to the tyrant Erdogan to make him happy while continuing to support Kurdish independence and self determination under the table until they are ratified.

Alternatively the Turkish government could take a minute out of their 500+ (including Ottoman) year existence and just stop being a bunch of shitters.

que all the people saying the traditional OEM competition was going to be way better at manufacturing the vehicles while also not understanding anything about battery manufacturing being the bottle neck and the most expensive component for EVs.

LG energy packs are not able to keep up with demand because the big three mostly put all their eggs in the LG energy basket and its now becoming a problem.

manufacturing EVs is easier, less parts and especially moving parts. The main issue is battery cell/pack supply is going to be constrained well into 2027. Ford has a new battery facility they are opening up 2025 with SK innovations instead of LG energy ,both of which were involved in a lawsuit claiming SK stole LG energy designs and were banned from selling packs in their GA production facility to VW and Ford.
