How? By manufacturing more cars? Everyone can do it, Toyota, VW maybe even Ford..

I don’t think that being partially owned by the state and the overall convoluted and organizational structure (unions etc.) have helped VW’s stock. It hasn’t been doing that well for a while and is quite cheap

What critical thinking? The train from London to Paris is barely above 2 hours. Why on earth would you drive if you’re in hurry?

Not sure, I’m a bit too young but the standards seem to have been much higher back in those days. Reagan’s [public] behavior would still be pretty tame nowadays. Of course broadcasting your deranged random thoughts to the whole world in th

I think it’s more about the cost and complexity of finding anything than trying to somehow imply that the societies living there were inferior. We already know relatively little about Neolithic Europe despite there being major cities there

In what way are they so different? Both increase prices for the the consumer it’s just they end up having to pay for the subsidy indirectly through taxes and such instead of having to pay a higher price. From the sellers perspective as long

> People don't die from flooding because of dams They certainly do if there is a catastrophic failure in the dam itself. Dam collapses due to human error are much, much more frequent than nuclear and much more deadly.

Tariffs are not particularly different to subsidies. Effectively they are a subsidy except that consumers are paying for it more directly (being forced to pay more for inferior local products) instead of through other taxes. The source of f

Didn’t they only get the IBM contract in 1980 (i.e. 5 years after the company was founded)?

Not really (which is an improvement over fake/random statistics)

It might be more popular in those countries but backing these claims using random maps that are clearly incorrect doesn’t really do much to strengthen your argument.

These stats are absurdly incorrect and nonsensical. Iphone has 81% of the market in Lithuania of all places? Sure..

Isn’t Tesla’s price point closer to $40-50k though?

Looking at PE in isolation doesn’t make much sense. For starters Tesla has very little debt compared to Ford and other major car companies. Of course it’s still massively overvalued especially if their sales collapse across most of the worl

By that standard pretty much every major German company established before the 50s is somehow “nazi”. Then again I don’t see how can someone seriously say stuff like that, in what way is modern VW related to nazis?

True, but if you add up Chernobyl, Fukushima and all other nuclear disasters per MHw generated coal is still many times more harmful and killed way more people. And of course Chernobyl couldn’t have happened in the US, France, Britain or an

That doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a lot of (often forced) assimilation or worse involved for that to happen. e.g. it’s not like Japan didn’t have a “native population” that spoke a different language(s). The colonization just happened a f
