To go like a race car, just be fast enough like a 4 banger
You bring me an EV that can doe those 4 things and have the range of a gas powered car 300-400 miles and be purchasable in the United States (where I am located), and I will buy one tomorrow.
So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I'm mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people who...
Without looking at the article I can make an educated guess he'd allow the increase of interest rates for student loan borrowers, and new loans would be subject to possible balloon interest rates in order to trully maximize profits for the lenders and their investors

I usually go to the salad bar of my grocery store and pickup a salad with no protein or dressing, then go to the dressing isle and buy a bottle of the dressing of my choice, finally go to the deli and pickup a cooked chicken. At home I shred the chicken and store it in a container and every day after I just stop buy the salad bar and pickup a hefty salad for $5, add a bit of my shredded chicken and dressing with gusto.

Hopefully someone can tell me why this wont work, but what if they Chinese mfg did a Tesla and sold cars online and then shipped them over as "Sold" vehicles. I would do something like this out of spite, but if there are thousands of orders the cost of shipping can greatly be reduced over one or two "special orders" from China.

Regardless if you like or hate TikTok, the accusations were always baseless and this ban is just because the government wants to control and filter what news we see on it for their benefit and the benefit of corporations.
There has not been any proof made public of the Chinese influence on TikTok. John KerrySenator Mitt Romney recently expressed in an interview (trying to find it now, but I heard it online 2 days ago) that the ban on TikTok was to stop the spread of information regarding the Israel attack on Palestine because the government wants the people to support Israel.
