SUVs typically have less cargo space than SWs

An electric SUV is the stupidest thing. They have shit range. There’s an electric SW from Nio with 1000 km of range.

I mean you need the mustard or it won’t emulsify. 2 parts oil for one part of acid is better imho

Well it’s both. Which tells you something about the French. Organized and intolerant to this kind of shit.

Yeah but there’s no more “get out of the rer at the wrong stop and you’re fucked” at least !

They unified the ticket system last year, you can go anywhere with one ticket now.

Barely made a dent commercially, but put the company in a difficult financial situation where build quality was a bit lower and cars a bit more expensive for a while.

The point of these punishments should never be to kill a company, but to hurt investors, who are ultimately responsible for setting the CEOs agenda.

And, well, VW stock is still down about -80% compared to pre-dieselgate. So I would say eurocapitalism working as intended.

Well yes it’s ridiculous we have (in EU) a mandatory warranty of only 2 years on anything electronic.

Phones should be 5 years. Appliances should be 10 and cars 15 or 200k kilometers. How have we normalized the fact that it’s okay for a car to break down after two years and the manufacturer is not on the hook ?

They’ll make iPhones in India. Which is actually what they are doing right now. Or in Vietnam. Or Ethiopia. You can’t tariff everyone 140% if you want your economy to work.

Didn’t it ? Russia started imposing tariffs on Ukraine in 2012.

Trade breakdown is a clear precursor to armed conflict.

Nations that trade extensively with each other don’t go to war. Trade wars are an accelerator of armed conflict.

So that’s because the tariff was so high it reached 99% then reset to 0% because the system was coded by Elon.

Or you know, US are in the axis of evil now apparently.

Turntables and all that.

5 years ineligibility means she can’t run for president in 2027 or for another MP seat. It means others will take over and gain visibility over her.

And 2 years in prison is going to cook her career prospects too.

Funnily enough, when the law was introduced a few years ago, her party wanted the penalty to be lifelong ineligibility. They are probably happy it’s 5 years, now.

French courts are independent. She will appeal, and another court will condemn her and her friends in appeal.

The evidence is multitudinous and straightforward.

Countries that have special rules for powerful people are the fascist ones.

Have you never worked in an organization?

You can have as many preparation meetings as you want and still be on your ass when the day of judgement comes.
