   F*ck faster acceleration though. The 0 to 100 kph in 2 seconds trend is absurd and dangerous. We should lock all that behind a regulatory wall.

   One way to approach answering this question is looking at history. Do individual people with a nice stockpile and contemporary weapons tend to survive the collapse of their civilizations (or even local, short-term famines for that matter)?

   I'm saying people repeating talking points from industry without realizing it, or having really considered them in any serious way. This extends to offline conversations with family / friends so it's not about shills.

   You're not responding to the parent's point. They're not saying that it causes or doesn't cause cancer. They're saying Monsanto and other multi billion dollar industrial players have permanent PR campaigns running t

    Just like with chemical weapons, banning them makes total sense to avoid overwhelming mass production and ubiquitous use. You'll still see them used in targeted assassinations and some countries will have illegal military stockpiles, b

    Advertising/marketing/PR persuades people to want buy certain things, not by telling them these things exist at a certain price, but by influencing them psychologically in deeper ways. See https://en.wikipedia.org/

    This. The crazy acceleration rates make speeding easier (you get to high speeds in no time) and more dangerous (you surprise other people) while offering no tangible benefit except maybe for killing the sports car market.

    The market can go nuts, and regarding vehicle size, it is. It's basically an arms race.

    Lots of the negative comments are about how tall this truck is (and how tall trucks in general are getting). Truck owners don't just use them to carry rocks and trees, they also drive them to the city, where the high grille, large foot

    But it doesn't require major investments. It's really minor investments compared to other infrastructure projects. The issue is taking away even a tiny fraction of car space basically triggers some kind of political road rage.
