Just look at what's on the road today, there are many more older cars still running than in the past. Even in the salt belt.

Sounds like a lobbyist dream.

That is a common explanation, but it kinda implies the world just sat on its hands for 20 years after WWII. I suspect it's just a distraction from the high tax rates and relatively progressive policy at the time, to instead say "it can't happen again".

I always hear people bring places like Sweden up as though it derives its prosperity from being an ethnostate.

Around 25% of residents were born outside Sweden and about a third have foreign born parents. Really not so different than some of the most successful U.S. states.

Yeah, it's just benign ads and people having fun. What's all the fuss about?

Is it really a mystery that there's concern about corporate media consolidation and collusion with governments to self-serve their interests over individuals?

I mean, this is beyond naive if you dismiss what's happening and will continue.

If you hear it from Indians on social media, there's been no benefit to the locals with that cheap oil. In fact they've been rolling out e20 and people are dealing with unscrupulous sellers causing car issues.

Only oil companies in India are benefiting (plus close political friends) from Russian oil.

The quote seems quite on the nose to me. Einstein wasn't raised by paupers.

Seems like all the euro death data comes from one WHO article from 2024. Large claims require large support and all that...

Won't someone please think of the Capital!?!

Suddenly Factorio is real life

Agreed, they should call it campaign contributions like the U.S.

Herd immunity?

Access to information will cure ignorance.
