  • Black man dies, crying for help, after hotel guards pin him down, video shows: Milwaukee police are investigating the killing of Dvontaye Mitchell, whose death has drawn comparisons to George Floyd’s

  • Because police encounters with black people has been an ongoing issue since they were brought over on boats to the united states.

    Many studies have highlighted disparities in how black people are treated.

    For instance: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/blacks-whites-police-deaths-disparity/

    Black Americans are 3.23 times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police, according to a new study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The researchers examined 5,494 police-related deaths in the U.S. between 2013 and 2017. Rates of deadly police encounters were higher in the West and South than in the Midwest and Northeast, according to the study. Racial disparities in killings by police varied widely across the country, with some metropolitan areas showing very high differences between treatment by race. Black Chicagoans, for example, were found to be over 650% more likely to be killed by police than white Chicagoans.

    If no one believes or identifies with a nation, that nation will cease to exist.

  • Here's why:

    The Pledge of Allegiance was first published for Columbus Day, on September 8, 1892, in the Boston magazine The Youth’s Companion. It was written by a member of the magazine’s staff, Francis Bellamy. The publication of the Pledge, and its wide redistribution to schools in pamphlet form later that year lead to a recitation by millions of school children, starting a tradition that continues today.

    Anyways, soldiers have died to save the flag. Standard bearers were critical officers during battle, and were responsible for holding a unit together, say when charging an enemy line or rallying the troops to defend a trench. Losing the standard could lose the battle and your men.

  • And what possible way has Ukraine lost this war?

    Russia's goal was to topple Ukrainian government and see his complete control over the entire country in 3 days.

    Here we are, 3 years into the war and Russia has lost something like 14,000 vehicles, over half a million casualties, and what have they achieved exactly?

    Besides turtle tank technology of course.

  • That's not true, Tesla has figured out manufacturing and does so profitably. Unlike any other American based car manufacturer, Tesla is making a profit per unit and they do not rely on legacy ice vehicle sales to prop their balance sheets up.

  • EV batteries are actually significantly different than the batteries in your laptop or phone, and are designed to have minimal degradation over many many years of use. The coolant loops also help to moderate the temperature between cells, which eliminates problems of hot spots and the heat stress that a phone battery will experience.

    For instance, my car has over 300 battery cells in it, which results in say a 100 MI Drive will only use each cell draining by about 1/3. The much lower cyclic rate on these cells results in a much longer lifespan, and the battery conditioning using liquid coolant is how they achieve that.

  • Some use the larger cells, but not all. They apparently are a bust and don't offer increased energy density like they had originally claimed.

    The lfp cells come from China, and are now being heavily taxed.

  • They have the premier charging network in the United States.

    Unfortunately, nothing else comes close and probably won't for a few years... Like 10 years at least. The US is probably a decade behind Europe's electrification at this point, and about 75 years behind it's rail electrification.

  • There is currently a huge labor shortage in the united states, particularly for engineers and skilled craft and trades people. There's no fucking way they would be able to hire 10,000, let alone 500,000 people. Hell, my company has had two engineering positions open for 2 years and we have had zero applicants. Zero!

    Everybody just wants to be retired or be a social media influencer these days, with that amazing side hustle as a door dasher.

  • I've read that all they're doing is diluting the current shares, so in essence the current shareholders are screwing themselves over by devaluing their own shares.

    Pretty dumb
