One could argue that China's governmental subsidizing of the industry just shows the commitment they have to be a leader and dominant player in the future of transportation worldwide.

Does the American government have such aspirations? Does the American Auto industry have the vision and goal to adapt to a disrupted market?

In my opinion the arguments surrounding this topic come down to which country is going to work harder to play a leading role in the future.

China is making their bet, and the quality of Chinese EVs is increasing extremely rapidly. If they can so easily dominate the American Auto Market that tells us that the Americans have been sleeping at the wheel and need to make some tough choices about spending. We can curtail the onslaught through duties and various taxes and regulations but not indefinitely.

The US projects its own interests worldwide but those often overlap with the interests of other as well.

For example, the US often stipulates intellectual property and worker rights in it's trade deals. The US actively protects shipping lanes. The US actively negotiates visa-free entry for American passport holders to other countries. The US invests in the economies of foreign countries to stimulate trade opportunities. The US controls the SWIFT banking network which makes it so that we don't need to send gold bullion or pallets of cash to buy things from other countries, and participating in the system requires member countries to have certain controls in place that attempt to block bad actors. The US, through it's embassies and ambassadors, deploys it ideology to foreign governments, and makes deals that allow foreigners to invest in the USA and Americans to open businesses in foreign countries.

The US actively shuns and makes life difficult for menace dictatorships on the global stage by creating trade exclusions.

There have been coups since the beginning of time and always will be, as it's human nature. Many citizens of other countries have no belief that the future of their country belongs to them after decades or centuries of dictatorships or kingdoms. On the whole, history shows that kingdoms rise and fall for many reasons and the people sometimes benefit and sometimes suffer for it.

Obviously it's a highly complex topic, but if the US wasn't doing these things, then Russia or China would be, or there would be more powerful regional factions, which could reduce the size of the world in terms of travel and trade options for many.

Whether the US is the right one to be in control of this at this point in history is a matter of intense debate among some, but it could absolutely be worse than it is now.

She understands there is a problem, just doesn't understand the solution. Good on her for having privacy concerns and paying attention.

I for one would be fine going back to the ini files of win 3.1

Finding the way from here to there is one of man's oldest jobs. He's quite good at it overall. In fact, had he not been proficient, your ancestry wouldn't have produced you.

Now, man is cooped up in a cubicle, or best case a small box with a transparent glass window view of his old world. Now he's asked to give long hours of "jumping on calls", "circling back", "thinking outside the box", and chasing the "low hanging fruit" all in exchange for tiny green pieces of paper.

He's standing in the shadow of his former glory.

For god sakes woman, let the man find the way today.

The video argues that where bike lanes have been installed, there has never been a decrease in the level of service for cars on the same road.

But I was having a hard time understanding why exactly that is and only heard one main point - the protected turn lane for cars that uses the parking area before an intersection.

Is that really it? Or has the article uncovered that lanes in NY were just way too wide to begin with and bike lanes have just managed to recover some of that wasted space?

Hahaha if true it would be some poetic justice, but unfortunately these dweebs are already hanging out there half the time and loving the oligarch lifestyle, so unless that's taken away they will die happy

Yeah, if they are healthy companies they could snag some market share from one of Google's products.

The moment I start to think about meditating, my mind explodes with alternative ideas until I forget. In fact it's so efficient at not meditating, that even though I have time and space set aside for it daily on my calendar, some subprocess in my brain still often subverts the whole thing. It's a scary place before I get there.

But I have never once completed a meditation that I regretted. Even the meditations that are difficult to get through - usually because my mind is really jumpy - still feel like a nice piece of self care at the end.

I think the more routine the practice, the easier it is to start and better your mind becomes at focusing on your breath without allowing all the various stressors of the moment take control. And that is a powerful muscle to build up.

I mean, that's kinda what they are pros at already, right?
