🔥 Top post The hilarious meta aspect of this story about used EV prices in the US rising is how long they take to reach the obvious (but repugnant to The Discourse) conclusion, that people really like the EVs that US carmakers don’t want to sell them www.cnbc.com/2026/07/31/u... ★ 207
Anecdotal impression, but IMO the most implacably anti-EV group of people you will ever meet are middle management in legacy carmakers whose C-suite is all-in on the energy transition. ★ 27 As China and the world pivots to EVs, the Chinese arms of European carmakers have actually been cutting their production of EVs, quite radically. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti... ★ 11 It’s always useful when events cause people to pay attention to the serious and compounding effects of climate change, but … the last time the UK was self-sufficient in food, its big geopolitical worry was a Napoleonic invasion. www.thegu… ★ 20 Meanwhile China has 90% of downstream vibranium refining capacity ★ 33 “That’s one of those irregular verbs, isn’t it? *I* restore orderly functioning in FX markets, *you* are manipulating your currency, *China* is using predatory mercantilism to deindustrialize the planet” ★ 16 Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Japanese Yen (JPY) $5bn-$10bn Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying ★ 13 -Milk -Bread -Froot Loops -$5bn-$10 billion Japanese yen (JPY) ★ 8 Most NESW places I’ve been: N: St Petersburg, Russia E: Nuku’alofa, Tonga S: Hobart, Australia W: Alofi, Niue ★ 5 Loving this could-never-happen-here NYT story about a strange foreign country where people ignore the rise of authoritarianism to chase bling and Insta likes www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/w... ★ 29 Your regular reminder that GM’s best-selling model line globally is not the Silverado 1500 but the Wuling Hongguan Mini EV, a Chinese electric car that costs less than $10,000 ★ 49 It’s so perfect that the company is named after a terrifying parasite that an amoral company wants to unleash on the world for military-industrial complex reasons. openai.com/index/huggin... ★ 7
