The price and quality go hand in hand.
Things have a cost and if you’re not paying it in full, somebody else has to. Maybe it’s the Chinese government. Maybe it’s the slave who built it. Maybe it’s future you, struggling to engage windshield wipers on an unresponsive piece of garbage while on the highway.
The price of EVs is due in large part to the battery, so there is only so much you can cut. Some companies sell you a battery with a bare bone car around it (see Dacia spring), others try to justify the price by selling you a premium car (see ioniq or tesla), and others cut down on the battery by selling you a city car with a very limited range (see Renault Zoe or that funny mini car from Citroen).
As things stand now there is just no way to make an EV with both comparable price and performance to an ICE. What needs to happen is technological development on batteries, which would have been much better by now had we bothered to give a fuck years ago.
Ah well if we are considering suicidal strategies then there are simpler and more efficient solutions to achieve the electrification goal!
For example we could just shoot anybody who drives ICE, we’d have 100% market share in a week.
Fair enough
Wouldn’t an all-out war with Iran be the first decent thing Israel does in some time? A racist dictatorial theocracy against another, sign me up (to watch from the other side of the sea).
Also, how would an all-out war even look like? They don’t share a land or sea border, are they going to just Molotov-Ribbentrop Iraq so they can backstab each other in due time like the other dictators did?
Is hurling missiles at each other the best they can do, or am I missing something?

What are you even implying with this? That it wasn’t Hamas that did 7/10? That it isn’t Hamas that’s in charge of Gaza’s government? What did I say that’s not even worth replying with words?
Fuck me I meant hamas obviously sorry for the confusion. All the news are about hezbollah nowadays so I had a brain fart.
With that said- Hamas was elected forever ago and has since abused and brainwashed their population, they don’t represent Palestine any more than Putin represents the Russian people, which is to say the least debatable. Of course it doesn’t help that Israel did absolutely nothing to be hated less.
Hamas=Palestine is what Israel wants you to think. That’s two millions of terrorists over there, what’s the harm in bombing them? Since when are we nice to terrorists? — don’t let your disgust for Israel play you into their hand.
As for their endgame - do you think Hamas did 7/10 in order to have land back? In what world was a massacre of civilians going to give them bargaining power? They baited Israel into behaving like monsters out in the open at the expense of their own population, and Israel bit hook line and sinker. That was Hamas’s objective and it worked.
Please let’s keep in mind that health ministry = Palestinian government = hezbollah, so not exactly the most trustworthy source of information. Their endgame is pretty much world outrage against Israel.
Don’t get me wrong, I am disgusted by what that neonazi cunt of a country is doing in Palestine. I have no doubt that Israel is bombing, starving, executing civilians by the thousands. Fuck Israel sideways.
I am as far as it gets from an Israel apologist, but in the interest of intellectual honesty let’s keep that in mind.

I know of the seriousness of the issue and I do not mean to belittle it at all, and yet - every time I read “white supremacy” in an online argument I can’t help but think a moron wrote it.
Case in point, Linus is not entitled to personal agency and cannot be held accountable for his choice of words - no, it’s his skin color that explains everything.
A bunch of Brits and Iberians slaughtered and enslaved people in the 1600s, therefore a Finn in 2024 is cursed because he shares the skin tone with said people. I see no problem there.
If you think BSDs are devoid of drama you’re in for a cold shower…
Switch to OpenBSD if you have to, at least the drama there is super funny
Ah yes, just like that time when Mandrake kernels burned the cd drives..
TBH I’d be in favour of a machine that slaps people in the face with a large trout every time they say or write the word “liberal(s)”. Nothing smart is ever uttered with that word in it.
