I just want a cheap hybrid. Its weird that if you go from a gas engine to a hybrid in Canada prices jump up 5k.
If you want to know why nobody helps Gazan refugees theres a good history of places like Lebanon and Kuwait who let them in and ultimately banished them. Theres even some theories that keeping them stateless as they are is all part of the plan to keep them poor and helpless, to prevent further political extremism.
In the 1960s Lebanon was relatively calm, but this soon changed. Fatah and other Palestinian Liberation Organization factions had long been active among the 400,000 Palestinian refugees in Lebanese camps. Throughout the 1960s, the center for armed Palestinian activities had been in Jordan. They were forced to relocate after being evicted by King Hussein during the 1970 Black September in Jordan. Fatah and other Palestinian groups attempted to mount a coup in Jordan by incentivizing a split in the Jordanian army, something that the ANM had attempted to do a decade earlier by Nasser's bidding. Jordan responded, and expelled the Palestinian forces into Lebanon. When they arrived, they created "a State within the State". This action was not welcomed by the Lebanese government, and this shook Lebanon's fragile sectarian balance.
Solidarity with the Palestinians was expressed by the Lebanese Sunni Muslims, with the aim to change the political system from one of consensus amongst different sects, towards one where their power share would increase. Certain groups in the Lebanese National Movement wished to bring about a more secular and democratic order, but as this group increasingly included Islamist groups, encouraged to join by the PLO, the more progressive demands of the initial agenda was dropped by January 1976. Islamists did not support a secular order in Lebanon and wished to bring about rule by Muslim clerics.
Renting is now better than owning. Buying is better than leasing. So nothing of value was lost, and a noose was avoided.
We just tariffed Chinese EV's to make sure they dont become a reality. We want to fight climate change, but not at the cost of the industries we are ploughing billions of tax payers dollars in to, as the US tariffs us.
*To buy goods mass produced by a person working in far worse conditions.
This then feeds into the CPI, which now requires higher priced goods via inflation targeting, and suddenly housing is unaffordable and theres a reverse baby boom.
*Slaps Highway. You can fit so many cars on this two lane 1960s highway.
Why shouldn't the poor subsidize the rich replacing their 3 year old Lexus with an electric sports car?
It's not like we could be funding mass transit and better housing density that actually supports mass transit with that money instead.
Its an electron app, how hard can it even be?
Except the white man would be a director at Brookfield who owns residential real estate and wants their asset values to rise.
Democrats arent even in favor of universal healthcare, in other countries I think they'd be conservatives.
