That's a strawman. I never said the US was operating in a completely free market, I used the VC example because it's relatable. We all remember when Uber and Amazon were cheap and we were told that these new cheap prices were the new norm. Then the VC capital ran out in the case of Uber and the online market was monopolized in the case of Amazon and the prices are now higher because existing competition was destroyed.
It will help keep prices competitive in the long term. Chinese EV makers aren't competing in a free market as they are heavily subsidized by the government. It's no different from what Silicon Valley VCs do, pump loads of capital into a new industry so that it's difficult for any competitors to emerge. Once a company has a monopoly on a market innovation suffers, products stagnate or actively get worse, prices increase with a lack of competition, and the consumer suffers. In the case of EVs, there is the added issue of manufacturing capacity which is important for security. While I would love a cheap new EV now, I would prefer for my children to have sustainable cheap EVs in the future.
Unfortunately in our society women don't get enough opportunities. If we truly care about equality we should be supporting women who want to become serial killers, help them break through that glass ceiling.
Huh, it really makes you think... some people have no idea how to run an experiment or about statistical significance.
This is fun, I'll be interested to see the results. One suggestion for future version of this survey would be to ask folks once for their currency so that people don't have to keep converting from local to USD. Plus it will give you another interesting data point
Essential RIP. The PH-1 was the best phone I've ever owned
It could also be that Berliners are apparently collecting them 😂
Given the peculiar references made in the article like referring to bilbys as a rabbit-eared bandicoot chipmunk species, this is clearly a spam news site that pushes articles from legitimate sites through ChatGPT. Here is the same news article from a legitimate source https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/8/21/australia-greenlights-19bn-solar-project-to-export-power-to-singapore
Edit: this is great news though!
