  I dunno if you follow car stuff much. Chip shortage during COVID affected how many cars could be made. Manufacturers saved them for high margin high value cars. Already there is a smaller market for them. Plus, charging infrastructure in some countries is behind to the point where a lot of people are sticking to petrol. That’s the wider picture. On top of that VW made a really good EV platform and then screwed it up with a cheap interior, glitchy software, and frustrating laggy haptic buttons everywhere on cars that weren’t exactly cheap. Why bother with that when you can get a Kia Niro (as an example) with more features, a massive warranty, more range, better interior for the same or less money?

  Yeah pretty much what I would expect from a business oriented website to offer counterpoints as ‘beliefs’ so that they are dismissed as ramblings from crazy people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nurses with an overbearing manager, how do you pass time at work without getting caught?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree. It’s yet another case of underpaid and understaffed industries. If nobody wants to do a job because it’s too long and hard, it’s because 1 person is being expected to do the work of multiple people.

  Absolutely, there is an obsession with increasing lifespan yet so much that can be done with so much less effort in terms of making people happy and comfortable for what life they have, yet this is generally neglected.
