I just think it's obvious not to use an electric vehicle to drive cross country unless you know the challenges that will come with that. They aren't designed for road trips but rather local commuting and short distance driving. Seems like a contrived piece of journalism.
add ot it, these developing market dynamics over-compensating for the supply shortage, attributable to the global supply chain bottleneck, big retailers (Target, HD, Lowes, Walmart, Costco, etc.) had been builting up too much inventory. eg, Target's inventory level is 43% higher than last year they are / will be aggressively clearing that inventory in time for back-to-school sales. this means that discount retailers such tjMax, Marshall, 5Below, dollar tree, etc.will have an abundance of lower-price items to sell lumber prices, the most vivid leading inflationary indicator during the pandemic, have declined >60% since the the all-time high in mid-2021, https://azbigmedia.com/real-estate/...-falling-but-when-will-consumers-see-savings/
This is just such a fabrication it needs to be called out. Dems did not fund the China Syndrome. It was a Hollywood movie with Jane Fonda for god's sake. The reality is that no one wanted a nuke plant in their backyard - most Republicans as plants were not built in cities for obvious reasons. Even still, that's not the only reason as to what killed nuclear. What killed it was economics. The high investment cost of building a reactor scares off investors. And natural gas and other fossil fuels became more competitive. In fact, one of the very few reactors being built today is by Bill Gates, the rich guy so beloved by conservatives.
Climate change affecting crops like wheat , corn, precious sriracha peppers... Years long drought in California won't help either. Then there's the fertilizer shortage made more acute by the Russia embargos. Is it that bad an idea to **** on electric as an elitist tool to control the masses? Seems like we're all gonna slow cook in our rose-smelling farts while thinking cheaper gas by any means necessary is the answer out of this.
“Inflation accelerated further in May, with prices rising 8.6% from a year ago for the fastest increase since 1981, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. The consumer price index, a wide-ranging measure of goods and services prices, increased even more than the 8.3% Dow Jones estimate. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI was up 6%, slightly higher than the 5.9% estimate.” https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/10/consumer-price-index-may-2022.html Even worse than expected…
This isnt good news at all. I wonder what our economist experts @adoo and @Major think about this? I did observe a whopping 4% increase in gas prices midday yesterday. So much for that soft landing?
