That would be like taking a whole bottle of prescription pills at once to get better now instead of taking them as prescribed.

Companies are able to add this many jobs even with higher interest rates because they are still flush with cash from decades of low interest rates, lobbying, income inequality and PPE loans.

Raising interest rates forces companies to spend their own capital to add these jobs instead of using money that the Federal Reserve prints to keep the interest rate low.

Raising interest rates sucks in the short term but it is required in the long term and severely overdue.

We can’t print free money forever just to have low interest rates.

All cars break. That’s why they all come with warranties.

I’ve been an Automotive Technician for a couple decades now and I can safely say combustion engines have way more parts that fail and if you can use a youtube video to diagnose your ICE (very rarely is this possible) then you’re smart enough to do the same with an EV.

There is way less parts on an EV and they are way easier to fix.

Anyone can replace the windscreen. It’s not any different on an electric vehicle.

I’m surprised you’re surprised that others are surprised… because no one is surprised about this.

The article is an opinion piece that is intentionally leaving out what topics they claim are not being debated.

At a time when science has been politicized, it is safe to say these topics are not up for debate. Reality isn’t up for debate. Especially when it is evidence vs opinion.

I smoked for 23 years technically. I was mostly vaping the last 9 years of that and used vaping to lower my nicotine gradually. When I got to the point I was vaping without nicotine it still took a while to finally quit, but I finally did at the beginning of 2020.

Now I hate the smell and don’t crave them at all. I wish I would’ve done it sooner.

Remember that you don’t actually want it. It’s just a chemical your body is addicted to.
