It absolutely is a massive factor; because people plan a few years ahead. Consider how much it changes what you can afford if you save one year worth of payments in each case. There is also less need to get the maximum possible loan if hou

This is both ignoring inflation, and the potential to shorten the duration of the loan.

It's not a matter of competition around current supply, it's a complaint about policy that has lead to a decline in what a 20-something can purchase over time.

In theory they can be mechanically, in practice high ADAS standards and functionality like regenerative breaking make it feel like a pretty high risk proposal to allow an end user in.

You can call it selfish, but you can't call it fascist. In my perspective, it's less about what you should or shouldn't do; its about making sure that question is down to your individual morality.

Very briefly visited, (I'm an Aussie) I saw lakes and dams; but I never really had a look to see if there was a good spot to build a pipe between or to create a new lake. You don't actually need an excess of water, you need to be

I don't really know if there is somewhere in Texas that works geographically; but the idea is if you have a good spot you essentially get an arbitrarily large store for the price of one dam. At some point you get limited by fill/d

I gave several real, amoral, and tangible examples to explain why we should respect old debts in the current day, as it allows us to use the tool of currency to facilitate trade. No moral arguments are needed here. You are also still trying

Your fundamental problem is you are taking ideas that apply to individuals and are trying to apply them to abstract groups. You are doing it again with the idea of trust. Trust between nations is a concept that exists, but it's not the

You cannot will away an old debt without consequence because a current entity owns it, now, in the present. This is not a morality based decision. You are again trying to conflate abstractions that pertain to individuals and ones that perta

You dont seem to understand; the debt is owned and exchanged by contemporary people, why or when that debt was created is irrelevant, because the body (government) that owes it has many other debts created over time. You can not pick and ch

If you say we are not paying a debt to slave owners, then slave owners do not receive money. If you say we are not paying the current holder of a bond we created to pay slave owners in the past, then you damage your current credit rating. (

Because a debt like that is essentially a chunk of currency, that is passed between entitys; it doesn't matter when a debt a government was issued, the current holder is another contemporary entity or person. Why a debt was created is

That is not a debt to slave owners, that is a debt taken on to pay for the costs of abolishing slavery. It's also talking about real agreements for an entity to exchange money in the future, for a bond tied to the value of the currency

This is a very artificial way to make the argument though; it's still not worth it from a revenue or user acquisition perspective, it's just a risk from a potentially fickle government body.
