During COVID they learned they can make the same profit by ditching mass market vehicles and concentrating on high margin SUVs and still preserve their profit margin. I guess this is now biting their asses.
62 K for full spec. Crazy expensive.
That’s I guess how nature is giving us a sneak peek of what’s to come if we continue this road.
That’s why all the outstanding democracies have democratic in their names.
Yesterday someone posted a screenshot of the price of a fully trimmed ID3 costing 63K €. Mind you ID3 is a small compact car. That’s absolutely insane, and then VW is wondering why their profit and sales are sliding down the drain. They were supposed to be producing mass market affordable cars.
I don’t think that those tariffs will help much, and it will be counterproductive in the long term for the European car industry.
Wasn’t this also correlated with a lot of carbon heavy EU industries migrating to parts of the world with cheaper labor force and energy?
Today I read an article in DW, that in Germany
In July industrial production was almost 10% below the level it had been at, at the beginning of 2023.
Wars suck so much.
To be honest, I don’t want to be forced to kill other human beings because of some shitty politicians who decided so.
It makes me sick to the bone.
A couple of years ago, I watched a documentary about the war in Bosnia and how many women conceived as a result of those rapes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIBf48PP9hI
Why is the European discount only 50%?
The worst is that they not only create a very dangerous precedent, but also they are barring UNRWA without providing any alternative to it.
The irony is that they are attacking the same institution thanks to which their state exists today and also the institution which was created for the world to try to avoid global conflicts like WWII.
Is this mod worth it?
It is indeed Reuters, I didn’t clarify, I am using Libredirect on my mobile to strip some websites as I believe Reuters has a limit of articles you can read per month/day.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be without countries like the US, Russia and China.
The real question is did he do this sincerely or because it is hurting him financially. I am all up for forgiveness, etc. but only if this sudden self awareness is authentic.
And the deadline is just after the election and if Trump wins, then they don’t need to do absolutely anything. Just wait and take preventive measures if Harris wins.
But why limit this to console only, when this will be a full featured PC that can do so much more. Plus there are plenty of open source streaming tools like Moonlight and sunshine that can stream your game directly to your TV. You have Jellyfin for media streaming etc.
Hmm using food as a weapon of war, could that be a war crime? /s
But seriously speaking after 1 year of gross human rights abuses and war crimes committed by the IDF and mind you all of this got normalised more or less by now.
I doubt that the US will issue anything more than a strongly worded public statement while continuing sending them weapons.
And then Israel is surprised that there is a tension with the Israeli. I wonder how they would feel if they were on the other side of the fence.
And here you are wrong, Palestinians have no citizenship and nowhere to go. A lot of Ukrainians escaped the war, Palestinians simply can’t do that. They are stuck in a very small land rendered completely inhabitable by now, with no escape and no future.
