You suggested it as if from my interpretation it was a problem with Uber. If not, what is? And again, how’s it any more theft than CDs stealing from record manufacturers

Did Spotify steal from radio?

they have a licensed job specifically because unlicensed taxis were dangerous and people at the time were getting shanghaied.

Do you have any source for that happening significantly more frequently with Ubers?

Do half the people buy new cars?

An optional “profession” that steals money from qualified taxis

It’s not stealing if it doesn’t take it out of their wallet. Maybe the issue is instead the expensive restrictions on becoming a taxi driver? Or the virtual monopoly many taxi companies have. Or just that almost always a taxi is a worse experience.

But I don’t see why I’d ever buy a new car

Interesting, just read the guardian article, I do think that probably if the ICE fires are less reported that does mean their less bad. But regardless yeah, that is interesting

the vast majority of the cost of an electric car is in the battery, every phone I’ve had really degrades in battery after a couple years, and my dad still drives an ICE car about the same age as me

Source?

I think most people should buy used cars, if only because new cars are almost always a bad financial decision

… Again, not everyone parks their car next to sn outlet. Actually, I feel like probably most people don’t

And even if you only have 1 plug in your garage, it’s not hard or expensive to add more.

Yeah this is losing the plot. I believe they’re talking about the tens of millions of Americans who don’t have private garages.

sounds like they have different priorities and values than you, is that intolerable?

They said they’re an Uber driver…

For various reasons a car is often better for that kinda trip

in the US you can get a decent ICE car for under $2000, you cannot get a Chinese EV for under $2000 that holds a charge

I’ve lived in a city with really good transit, and even then, I’d prefer a car if it were affordable here.

It even says that in the first line of the post

I agree, and not applicable in Palestine generally, but you can be a settler as in settling next to other people. Someone farming land doesn’t mean you can’t farm next to them and peacefully coexist.

Rip

Art and a rally are both forms of speech. Speech doesn’t mean just the literal act of saying a word.

And in essence what really is the difference between beating someone to a pulp vs wanting to verbally (or by typing) assault someones existence?

You can walk away from one and not the other.

You think it’s not okay to repeatedly stab someone with an small knife over and over until they bleed to death, but you do think it’s okay to repeatedly tell someone to kill themselves until they kill themselves?

Legality doesn’t determine morality. Me thinking it should be legal doesn’t mean I think it’s okay.
