If he's held in contempt, it's an excuse to stop doing the things he probably personally disagrees with anyway (since the government is essentially a rogue actor). At least the poor overworked soul will get some rest

I rented a BYD M9 PHEV minivan while on vacation in Cancun, Mexico and other than the vehicle winning over my family in, like 2 days, the mileage was amazing. 1000km range, of which, 180km was battery (that's 520mi of gas + 100mi battery range).

PHEVs in the US are gimped by poor regulatory incentives - we should be forcing manufacturers to increase overall range + EV range. If this model were sold in the US by a US manufacturer, I bet the ranges would be halved (and still considered good/decent in comparison to existing alternatives).

If you don't have a regime that supports the medication, you could suffer some real problems. Drinking a LOT of water is mandatory. As well as eating lots of fiber - like good p-fruits (plum/pear/peach/etc) or benefiber/laxative.

I've had no problems following the advice of my weight loss program and r/Zepbound etc.

Have you considered tirzepatide (ie, Zepbound/Mounjaro)? I know several people who responded poorly to Wegovy who did great on Zep.

Capitalist systems (even used in moderation by China) based on Keynesian economics relies on constant growth.

Except Apple ditched their firebrand founder to fumble it all. In Tesla's case they are tied to the hip of their "founder" and are fumbling it.

Stonk still high though so...

They should but they're not. They are also controlled by the interests that control the US.

Europe could be relevant again if it only embraced China and gave NATO the finger.

Non-skeuomorphic style simply allowed for easier adaptation to varying screen sizes that iOS devices were beginning to adopt at the time.

What form of government do you think we live in? Where laws are routinely ignored by our "leadership" and bribery is essentially legal and we have our own "oligarchs"?

The US initiates wars and supports war crimes as policy - dictatorship? We're far beyond that.

You can at least remove the pursestrings from the executive by changing Congress from the rubber-stamp it currently is.

DeBlasio froze rent (for rent-stabilized apartments just like Zohran is proposing) for 3 straight years. Nothing new here.

Combining it with streamlining city approval process and building more actual city development will actually stabilize the rent across the market.

Zohran will be the kingmaker is what I infer @dluan is trying to say.

> My biggest doubts are around the idea of price controls,

DeBlasio froze rent for rent-stabilized units for 3 years straight. Literally everything Mamdani campaigned on is entirely possible and funding straightforward.

Not easy, but emminently doable.

You are confusing a 2-way race with a 3-way race. Mamdani could've won with a lot less than 50% (since there was no ranked choice - and even if it was, I doubt any Sliwa voter would have given Cuomo any 2nd place votes).

The fact that he cleared 50% in a 3-way race is itself a mandate.

Sodium Ion looks far more promising for home or industrial scale battery storage.
