you should watch the video reviews on those cars; they blow american cars out of the water and it makes sense why our automakers would do everything in their power to prevent us from getting access to them.

Every single time I see this type of conversation come up it’s always about the more privileged higher paying white collar work.

this is true and i know i because i’m one of those workers while my siblings aren’t and only my pay increases significantly each time while theirs remain stagnant.

on the other hand recruiters hate “job hoppers” and you’ll end up with more gate keepers to jobs the more often you do it; while my siblings barely get any questions when they have to switch jobs.

my work experience is almost entirely 2 & 3 year tenures and (anecdotally) companies are making vesting a bigger part of the compensation package and getting rid of pto to counteract people’s attempts at improving their livelihoods.

if you see a vesting heavy or “unlimited pto” compensation packages on offer; they don’t expect to keep you for very long.

moving every 2 years or so is clearly the best strategy for career advancement.

it’s a double edged sword in my experience from to talking to recruiters who seem to have an irrational hatred of “job hoppers” and they’re, anecdotally, a majority.

however it is still true that you’ll get higher pay as i did; but be sure to spend a LOT of time keeping your connections alive because most recruiters (still anecdotally) will red flag 2 & 3 year tenure-ships; effectively gate keeping you away from many jobs.

if it weren’t for being in a relatively lucrative and in demand field (software development); i would be screwed because of those recruiters.

watch everyone but leftists, that lemmy was created for, avoid this thread

due to the bonkers high tariffs.

i hope they start building them in mexico.

and they’re winning. the bonkers high tariffs on brand new $10k EV’S have guaranteed that americans and western europeans will never get affordable EV’s and only the rich will have them.

living in austin for 5 years taught that even the bluest texans are ardently pro-establishment.

that doesn’t mean that all of them are climate deniers; but like their red brethren, they’ll fall in line and vote for a climate change denier if it means their guy gets to win.

like most of the country, they hate their choices but will fight you tooth and nail if you try to change anything for the better; don’t bother with benefit of the doubt when it comes to texans.

they’re selling out so fast that australia hasn’t gotten many yet.

interestingly australia might be the only western country to get them since they have a free trade agreement with china while the united states and europe are putting extremely hefty tariffs on them to protect their own respective automotive industries.

that’s why it makes more sense to have them be naked to begin with ;)

There doesn’t even need to be penetration involved and it can still be a good time.

that’s true; but the pic implies a “gangbang” which is usually penetrative.

i forgot strapons existed and i think that would enable a greater variety of double/triple/whatever penetration videos than gay porn currently does.

based on the strapon usage i’ve seen: i suspect people who use strapons derive more psychological pleasure than physical pleasure and if that would have an impact on the quality of the porn.

yeah, but then you’d have to live in texas. lol

i tried it for 5 years and no thank you!

You’re not wrong, but in fairness the headline says EVs are becoming affordable, not that they are affordable.

he’s right; brand new ev’s go for about $10k outside the unites states; they’re already affordable but big tariffs are being employed to discourage buying them.

curiously, even the 100% american tariff still makes these ev’s more affordable than anything in that article and i’m wondering what’s going to happen once they start building them in mexico (ie nafta).

Oh, so you mean not yet, but maybe affordable soon.

For fuck’s sake…

i had the same feeling while knowing that people outside the united states can get brand new ev’s for $10k today.

you can buy a brand new one for $10k outside the united states

Nope, that’s not affordable.

i had the same thought and i’m also thinking that i’m going to keep my 15 year old car until it dies in the hopes that i can get those brand new $10k ev’s that people outside the united states can get right now.

When the price is competitive with ICE vehicles, I think we’ll see rapid adoption.

they already cost $10k outside the united states so the price is already beyond competitive; the real barrier to adoption will be once/if the united states removes the 100% tariff they’ve placed on chinese ev’s.
