BREAKING NEWS: EU Commission announces preliminary tariffs up to 38% on Chinese EVs
  • This is such bullshit. The EU is supposed to be encouraging EV adoption. There's a market NOW for affordable EVs it will take years for European car companies to get into. The EU needs to help these companies produce affordable EVs faster, not block Chinese companies from providing a solution in the meantime. Climate change is already a crisis. We need to be doing everything possible to reduce its escalating effects.

  • Single Issue Voters will save the world!
  • The reality is that either Trump or Biden will win and if you're not voting for either of them then, practically speaking, you might as well not vote at all. Third party candidates only ever get a tiny fraction of the overall vote and that's not going to change this time.

  • Do your sleep dreams include mobile phones?
  • I have had several nightmares where I lost my phone and embarked on progressively hellish journeys to get it back. The details of these nightmares are hazy in my memory now, I only really remember feeling lost and afraid, and enormously relieved when I woke up.

  • Why the US is the only country that ties your health insurance to your job
  • The ACA was an attempt to make the current health system a little better. Sure Biden promotes it, but that doesn't mean he's championing the health system overall. You probably already know that the ACA was originally based on a Republican health plan. Obama went with this rather than Medicare-for-all because he thought it was the only way he could get Republican buy-in to pass any kind of health improvements for citizens. But even so the Republicans demanded all kinds of concessions and watered it down so it ended up being way less effective than intended. The bottom line here? Health care affordability problems are because Republicans don't want to fix them.
