  • That’s the whole issue with supercar makers. But it immediately reminds me of that Dodge’s ads promoting its latest beast’s best performance on the market… on which they had to add small characters “among ICE cars only” or something like that.

    And Dodge’s take on the “EV muscle car” is a failure as the whole thing doesn’t make sense.

    Muscle cars are gone. Supercars are hitting limits and are going to struggle.

    What’s the point of a Lambo today except an attempt to show off money? EVs are faster. Period. There are luxury and sporty models.

    You may only sell them in the US or Canada, because you can’t get your chinese hyper-EV there… yet!


  • At 20, you’re a democrat because you have dreams and hopes, but being young and poor, you depend on the system’s generosity to get successful.

    At 30, you are a Republican, because you start having a life of comfort, and even if you refuse to admit it, you know well your comfort relies on some other people working hard in miserable conditions, but you really like your comfort, and you rationalize this with “economic growth will lift everyone from poverty” even though you really want some people to do menial tasks for you, and for cheap, and you want everything to be cheap, so people producing goods and delivering services can’t be paid too much, and can’t have it too easy, or they’ll quit and you’ll lose your benefits!

    At 40, you’re a libertarian because you finally made peace with the idea that there will be poor, there will be rich, it is what it is, but now you want your voice level to match your bank account. Why would you pay more taxes (in absolute) than most and at the same time let these folks decide what to do with the money?? You’ll manage the money you want to give to the community, and it will only go to the charities and projects that deserve your generosity. That way things are much fairer.
    You didn’t totally forget about the you at 20, but you look at your kid, and decide we don’t need free education or some shit, because low/no taxes mean you can save enough to pay for their education. And for the poor, well: you were poor at 20, so they should just take example on you and work hard to get out of poverty!

    If you recognize yourself in this, know that at all ages, you were probably a PoS, but only with the age did you reveal your true colors!
