Please let this finally happen. It's absurd when normal people pay maybe 20-40% taxes depending on the country when the super rich almost don't pay at all.
Microsoft is on a fuck up their product speedrun, ain't it?
I've been reading " Windows 11 does this and that without asking your permission." Almost daily now. I wonder when Windows 11 will fingerbang my SO without permission next.
I don't get it. If the reason for this really is that there are not enogh workers present, then I why won't the employees tell their employers to go fuck themselves? I mean it doesn't sound like there aren't enough job offers on the market.
I've never gotten really into it. It's such a mess, you don't find shit so you ask around in channels hoping someone says something relevant. After one or two replies the next person wants to talk about something else and your question disappears into the void
"Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has announced that he is dissolving the national assembly, and calling for legislative elections on June 30 and July 7....
I get the points that you are trying to make but those micro cars are shit for the consumer for those prices. Yes, you have a small car that isn't powered by fossil fuels, but
You can't transport jack shit. I've sat in the Opel thingy and while it's comfortable for the two passengers you have literally no boot.
If you consider one of those most likely you live in a densely populated urban area an can use public transportation as well. And one of the last things public transportation sucks, is transporting unwieldy stuff with you. And your mini car doesn't provide a solution to this, so you have to pay a rental again.
Those things are waaaaayyyy to expensive for what they offer. Atm you're paying the early adopter premium to drive in a speed restricted, range restricted, and payload restricted vehicle for 10k.
I've been riding public transportation almost exclusively for the last 10 years or so and only had to consider getting a car for long distance travel and transporting shit. And at that point you'll be better off spending 4-7k for an older station wagon than those things.
Also I'm not entirely sure how eco friendly it is to buy a brand new mini EV rather than driving around with a 15 year old car where nothing new has to be produced. Depends for sure on the yearly mileage. Which isn't high in my case, but you for sure won't be driving 15000 km a year in a mini car.
If we compare new regular and new EV? Sure, but then I'll wait until real competitive alternatives in the low-price sector pop up.
Man, your argumentation is all over the place. Adressing your points in the same order:
How often do you expect a person to resort to rental cars when they already invest 10k in a micro car with all running costs on top? A normal person that spends that amount of money doesn't want to pay additional 50-200 Euro per trip for 5-10 times a year.
Generalizing that public transportation is shit doesn't cut it if you want make a serious point. There are A LOT of people that could use public transport with minor habitual changes.
I'm talking to you that micro cars are too expensive compared to old station wagons and you jump to "big luxury cars are expensive"? Yeah no shit, Porsche drivers are for sure the general population and what micro cars are aimed at lmao. It is the financial reason for people with normal incomes: Nobody pays 10k for a glorified scooter with a roof.
it for sure does make more sense people buying small new EV instead of big new luxury SUV-EV
Yeah no shit, maybe you read my post again and see that I didn't refute this point.
It might not be economical to you at this point, but it all trickles down the market in 5-10 years time and then it will be very cheap and very available
You do you. I'll wait until proper low-end cars are out that are worth paying 10-15k. Shouldn't take that long now that China has claimed this market and Europe and the US scramble to push out cheaper EV-cars instead of only selling bloated luxury EVs.
Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the "retro" look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren't that important these days).
Man this looks so good, but I'm not sure if I'm shooting myself in the foot with the camera and the 60Hz display. I'm just looking for a reasonable midrange phone that still has a headphone jack that's not whack in any sense.
Pixel 7a, A55, Nothing 2a and Moto Edge 50 Fusion all look nice and probably better, if it wasn't for the headphone jack that I want to keep to connect to various audio periphery as a musician.
Then you have the Oneplus Nord CE 2 5G which is already two years old.
Or the Xiaomi Redmi Not 12 S, which looks amazing for the price, but I've read that their UI pushes you ad. Wtf could you fucking not.
Addendum: Shopping for a decent midrange phone has never been so frustrating like these days. Everything gets more expensive while the phones loose features (just look at the telecam on the xperia 10 VI compared to the V)
