The decision by Uncommitted not to back Harris may not hamper her chances at winning the White House in November, but it bodes poorly for the progress Democrats had aspired to make in engaging disenchanted voters — not just their Arab and Muslim constituents.

I mean, the Uncommitted org is pretty much a single issue org so there's not much to work with or talk about. I still think when Kamala wins there will be a course change concerning Israel because Democrats know how important holding the White House for 12 years is. Right now the Presidential election is more important than single issue voters.

When Trump was in office foreign translators got a ton of shit for doing thier job. So many non English speaking people thought the translators were drunk. That made more sense at the time than The President of the United States of America actually saying the things he said. There was also the time he got laughed at by the entire United Nations.

4 years of daily Republican sabotage of the US government. Democrats are not perfect. They are also not the problem at hand.

They use the software. They don't use the driving dynamics.

There's models that have expensive driving dynamics though.

It's like in USA people want pickup trucks and SUV and cheap EVs but we banned cheap EVs.

Or look at people waiting in lines for a cell phone.

China is further ahead with EVs and they've been available longer. They are at the point where manufacturers have to do more to attract customers away from competitors.

In USA GM discontinued it's best selling EV in history.

It would be built in Mexico. Just like Equinox and Blazer.

Diversified, which has become the largest owner of oil and gas wells in the U.S., has some 70,000 such old and potentially leaky wells — making it potentially one of the biggest methane emitters in the industry as well.

According to Geofinancial, Diversified would be liable for as much as $184 million if its annual excess methane emissions are equivalent to what it released over the year ending in September 2023. While the satellite results are a snapshot in time and contain some uncertainty, the overall finding that Diversified is probably facing catastrophically steep methane fees likely holds regardless of the potential variation.

Total War.

The term was coined by a general during the American Civil War and has been defined as "A war that is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded."

China already got what they need from Tesla. China is the number 1 car market. Number 1 in EVs. Number 1 in batteries.

BYD and Tesla are the top selling EVs to the world.

GM discontinued their best selling EV.

I suspect Tesla will work with BYD and CATL to make low priced entry level EVs. They will do this in Mexico. Not USA.

Meanwhile Borgwarner just signed with BYD.

Used Teslas have come down in price.

If China gets close to selling in USA then another law or tariff will continue to keep them out.

In the meantime China will continue to sell EVs to the world. Except USA, of course.

They already shook up the industry. This is why auto makers are interested in making EVs after decades of telling people that they don't want EVs. China, the world's largest car market, is saturated with EVs. Now China is exporting to countries that don't have as many EVs as China.

It's very similar to what Toyota did decades ago. Create a good product and expand.

Car makers blocked EVs for decades. Tesla fixed that problem. Now you can go out and buy a GM Bolt and not have to worry... wait. Never mind. I have been told GM discontinued it's best selling EV in history.

China has had EVs for awile. There are so many options that chipsets have become a customer demand. No one wants a laggy UI and they want enough power to run apps.

Similar to cell phones and laptops.
