Used cars will always be an option, and there will be a time when the standard used car on the market is an EV.

> I thought the goal of a pension fund is to ensure that people have pensions?

Yes, through an investment portfolio, and this article states that the 4 pension funds in question have a combined $300 million in shares invested in Toyota.

The article says:

‘Toyota is jeopardising its valuable brand by lobbying against much-needed climate related regulation of the auto industry,” said Anders Schelde, AkademikerPension’s chief investment officer last week. “What is the science based argument for their position, which is what we expect from companies if they are going against most expert views on the role of battery electric vehicles and the required timeline for phaseout of fossil fuel cars.’

> If it was a jet plane, the ending might have been quite different.

I disagree. Jets are basically giant computers usually with far more capable autopilot and often even auto-landing capabilities. I imagine it would be far easier to talk a non-experienced pilot down in a jet by telling them what knobs to turn and switches to flip without them even needing to ever touch the yoke.

People often dream of being digital nomads. If Airbnb can convince the world to embrace remote work, how many millions (or hundreds of thousands) will work from Airbnb rentals? I agree with the CEO, but not having the world fixed to an office directly and positively affects Airbnb's business.

This carries as much weight for me as the Zoom CEO blogging about how everyone should WFH.

> but then makes random comments…It's like he doesn't realize that millions of people read his tweets.

Yes, people on the autism spectrum often lack social awareness and are unable to process the same social cue’s as neurotypical individuals.

Yeah, pretty much the same difference between a pirate and a privateer.

> No Google/YouTube

Some of the most famous channels are owned and managed by Disney (formerly maker studios) and AT&T (through Fullscreen/Warner Bros)

Help, I’m stuck in a recursion and I can’t get out.

I don’t think this decision has anything to do with the CEO — this is strictly a matter for the board of which Dorsey is still a member.

The US has tons of online-only/app only banks too with free accounts.

Ridiculous is thinking servers shouldn’t have to pay taxes like the rest of us. They already under report their tips/income anyway. I have no sympathy or desire to further help more people evade taxes. You’re suggesting that servers should only pay taxes on $2.15/hr even if they make $60k+ in tips?

Wish I could only pay taxes on 2.15/hr of my income.

I have on a parking meter. I scanned the app clip QR-like code and a lite version of the parking app popped up for me to pay. Felt incredibly native and more trustworthy than a QR code taking me to a site.

I think that’s completely justifiable. He and his family are a massive target for kidnapping and assassination.

I didn’t read “made up” to mean faked until your comment. I can see how someone who’s mother tongue isn’t English can easily interpret that way, but I’d be shocked if native English speakers mixed this up. “Made up” is almost always synonymous with “comprised of” when referring to fractions or percentages.
