Not to mention the absolute stars that man brings together in The Studio, but all of his projects.

Completely agree. We should have gotten rid of the law. It was born out of racism and restricts our rights in Cali.

The people of sh.it.just.works and Lemmy.world both loved to try and act like I was out of line for calling for open carry the other night. Unfortunately California state law doesn’t allow for it. I think that it’s the only way to get them to back off with the Marines, the National Guard and with ICE though. If they’re not going to be afraid of us then they’re never going to change and the people saying “don’t give them a reason to escalate” will keep saying that up to the first battles at which point they’ll run and cower.

Where does the goal post moving stop? It’s not an escalation of violence if you don’t use it. It’s a threat to escalate to violence. If they aren’t afraid of you then they’re not going to change.

When they declare martial law are you going to be saying the same thing and hoping by just chanting loudly you change their mind?

What’s the acceptable number of dead people before also showing you’re armed is acceptable? Is it 5? 10? Maybe 1000?

If you pull up with guns they may kill you, but you have a better fighting chance than not. Plus if you were already going to die, since you’re so kind to sacrifice some people, wouldn’t you rather take some of them with you?

You’re playing by a made up set of rules where you think you being more moral than them makes you superior but it makes you dead and a loser.

You act like I’m advocating murder. I’m advocating letting the government know that we can also have weapons and fight back. That doesn’t make me a fucking nut job, it makes me someone who has read a history book.

Civil disobedience has almost never worked, compared to armed disobedience. Even if those weapons are never fired. The point isn’t to go in shooting, it’s to get the military and police to back down and give the people what they demand.

You’re advocating for us to all roll over and wait until this administration gives us what we’re politely but firmly asking for. Which will never happen. They live for a show of force.

Keep holding your beliefs, it’ll be the last thing through your smug brain before the government executes you.

I love how you mention “they” aren’t going to kill unarmed protestors, and then proceed to mention a literal event in which they did. This country is founded on the government and corporations killing unarmed protestors.

You can also just breath onto the bag too. Just enough to get the condensation to lightly form and it does the same thing. Although I also just grab a drop of water that’s on the produce container where it sprays sometimes.

My only complaint (and I get to blame Regan) is that we can’t open carry here in Cali. That would help stop a lot of federal response if we had that capacity again.

I’m not for destroying government property since that’s property that belongs to the people, but I also respect that change doesn’t happen with complacency. Plus if it was a peaceful protest for Jan 6ers then why is this not considered one?

Every day I wish we didn’t have the current admin in charge since they lack capacity and bandwidth to take care of the real economic issues facing our generation and time.

Completely agree though that the national guard is in control of the governor. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if Newsom agrees to bring them in if the feds kick in FEMA funding like they’re supposed to.

They still have shoppers in them. Plus their suits/business attire can be nice to look through if you don’t want to pay Nordstrom or higher prices.

That said, it isn’t just Macy’s. When everyone is cutting their forecasts this early in the year (most started early in Q2) then it adds to a bigger picture.

People are acting like this man got conned or like they’re stupid. This was a bribe for a get out of jail free card. If you’re rich and make your money in black market ways this is the best possible decision you can make. Your name is on a list in front of the president even if you didn’t meet him. That means a pardon in the future.

In the article it says the CEO specifically called out the political pushback from pulling those programs in their quarterly earnings report…

In this case the main point of his conversation was that raising prices was inevitable due to tariffs, but that they’re going to try and “hold out” as long as possible. Whatever that means, but I suspect it’s trump appeasement so he doesn’t try and call them out. Which is also stupid.

I’ve been doing it for years… the print manager…

Maybe you should read the article then before commenting since it calls out that the car has been on sale for 1.5 years.

If you scroll just a little pass the surface level of their account you can see that OP has posted a dozen times in the Bills community.

The Prius Prime came out in 2012. Only 2 years after the first volt. 100% of the people in these threads are not car people and don’t actually know what products have existed or currently exist out there.

Also, Nissan might have had the first leaf, but what has it done with its EV program since then? They have the Arya and the leaf… and look at the state of Nissan now. Toyota made correct calls on Hybrid tech being better, and it’s paying off financially now too.

Yes. Most Americans drive less than 40 miles a day. Giving them the ability to do all of that on electric only, and then gas when they have to go further but with better efficiency is statistically better for the environment. Look, mining, shipping heavy ass battery cars, assembling, and them catching on fire and polluting toxic gas is a real thing. In our current obsession with driving everywhere and not investing in public transportation it’s the better of the two alternatives. If batteries had no mining, no net negative shipping weight, and didn’t pollute toxic gas if they caught on fire for a long time wasn’t a thing then yes you would be correct that BEVs are better. You know what’s even better though, real public transportation. You’re letting the small picture get in the way of the real fight you should be focused on. Not to mention the ballooning size and weight of cars.

Toyota LITERALLY launched new EVs yesterday. On top of that what the fuck do you think the prime models are? They’re battery vehicles with less waste because they have generators onboard for longer range. Most people can accomplish their daily driving in EV mode effectively making them EVs. Which is better for the environment currently. Less gas usage when you’re around town, and an efficient motor that allows you to use less battery resources which require dirty AF mining.

Primes are better options for 100% of Americans than a BEV. Less use of batteries and a motor when you need it with 60+ miles of range. Toyota has like 3 Prime vehicles and they just launched a new EV C-HR yesterday and updated Bz today with a new set of trims for various different people.

They were one of the first companies to invest into solid state batteries. They don’t want lithium/ non-solid state batteries as those batteries are less safe and have more long term reliability issues. Both of which are core principles of Toyota. They also make some of the longest lasting cars on the road which is better for the environment than you buying a new car every few years (which is obviously not as good as public transit options). Just because other brands have the illusion of caring about the environment doesn’t mean you should try and shit on the one that has a track record of actually lowering their emissions.
