I suspect that it's more about leasing than anything else. Committing to a long term fixed expenditure in a rapidly depreciating asset is a risk, particularly in the current economy. If one of you lost their jobs or something unexpected happens in the coming years, you'd be stuck with the monthly payment.

Leasing is - in essence - spending money you don't have yet.

20% is huge on cheaper (i.e not horribly expensive) EV 's when you'll already be on the edge of your range for daily use. Luckily though, most people don't live in northern latitudes.

Eh, even as someone who on a global political scale is left leaning, I've been hesitant to donate to Mozilla. I'd love to support the browser development, but the fact that they siphon off money from that to support political activities and organizations (especially when some of them are downright corrupt, like BLM) turns me off from that.

When I want to donate to a political organization, I'll do that directly. What I want Mozilla to do, most of all, is keep firefox (and by extension gecko) alive, and thereby maintain internet freedom.

Great that the plan is for the entire economy. Cheap and reliable clean electricity is possibly the most important and straightforward(ish) issue to solve with steel and concrete sitting at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Energy or electricity? Those are two very different things.

Sweden and Denmark for sure, maybe also Germany, UK & France.

Yeah, I'm tempted to say "RIOTS AND PITCHFORKS!", but let's be real, I can't torrent coffee.

It's incredibly common for most decently paying jobs where I live, and has been becoming more common even as the gov:t has pushed for public transit (and reliability of trains has declined). The potential costs of an employee being potentially 30+ minutes late due to transit issues are just too great.

Yeah, that's the real "internet explorer of messaging services". Absolutely sucks to use it (doesn't even.deliver messages to me half the time), but 90% insist on it for chat groupa and such.

Proferring it as ToS violation is actually quite concerning for anyone using the same google account for their primary email and as a youtube account'
