Because wheels aren’t all that great in less than carefully managed paths. Quadrupedal motion is just fine in most all situations… Wheels are most efficient, followed by swimming with boyancy, then flying with the wind, then bipedal motion… But quadrupedal motion isn’t everywhere for no reason. It’s very stable and robust. It’s very practical and forgiving in most all situations

They really haven’t… at least not if by shitty you mean incompetent

He hasn’t stabilized his rule. The maga coalition is falling apart all on it’s own

Will Trump wiggle out of real consequences? Probably. There will definitely be election fuckery.

But the maga coalition failed to grab the crown, and does not hold the keys to power. That’s even more important for a dictator, because they don’t have the legitimacy democracy grants leaders

This is a pretend problem. When have EVs ever caused rolling brown outs?

Grid can’t handle the current of all the cars charging at once? Charge them slower. Get a battery bank for your home to smooth out the demand curve. Throw banks of supercaps at fast charging stations. Fix the fucking grid as you go. Use battery banks on the grid to even out demand at any level. Hell, you can use the cars themselves as battery banks and bring back rooftop solar tax breaks

It’s a fake problem, our grid and production do genuinely need work, but in practice EV adoption hasn’t been a limiting factor at all

A lint fire. And honestly, I believe it - there’s been a pattern of maintenance issues and sloppiness causing problems this year

Laws are always selectively enforced, actually enforcing the law equally is basically an act of rebellion

Let’s not. He’s too dumb to understand the context, it could be a trophy made of literal shit and he wouldn’t understand it’s not a celebration of him

Maybe God just loves us like a gardener loves plants. Right now looking at the garden and being like “oh no… This is a real mess. It would probably be easier to start over… But I’ve spent so much time on them, let’s give them a chance to pull through if I leave it for a while”

That’s the kind of incomprehensible thinking AI is best at

Always. It’s why the Trump admin hasn’t gotten anywhere

That’s what I said

If the US defaults, America as an empire collapses. It could be as small a deal as a massive period of restructuring, or it could mean the death of billions and the end of modern life

It sure as hell won’t be a better world for the banks though, they’ll invent new types of math to keep the game going a little longer

The saddest thing about bribery is how cheap it is
