The mass media WANT a reform government. The capital owners have decided they want even more of the pie, and to operate with close to zero regulations and pesky things like “health and safety” or “human rights”. The media is complicit.

Yeah - very well reviewed is the EV6, comfortable, roomy, good handling, super fast charging. The E-GMP platform is fantastic (shared with Hyundai), good range etc etc.

Small technical correction, if stored on traditional hard drives (spinning rust) they will be consuming energy and requiring cooling (which uses water) as data center drives typically don’t get spun down.

It’s a well known phenomena sadly - we’re so ridiculously busy and running on auto pilot most of the time. Heck - I was half way to work on the train once when I suddenly couldn’t remember if I dropped my child off at daycare.
