Tokyo banned diesel motors in the late 90s. As far as I know that didn't kill Toyota.
At the same time European car makers started to lobby for particle filters that were supposed to solve everything. The politics who where naive enough to believe them do share responsibility, but not as much as the european auto industry that created this whole situation.
Also, you implies that laws are made by politicians without any intervention of the industries whatsoever. I think you know that it is not how it works.
We are talking about something that took 50 000 years. There is no mention of diseases in the article, but I don't think if would make sense in such a long period of time.
I work in construction and currently work on the restructuration of an active airport, with various worksite around the airport. I have a very cool badge that clearly states that I can access almost every place.
Regularly, when I'm in a part of the airport that is in activity, I have people asking me directions, and I'm like :
"No, I don't know where gate 15 is, but I can tell you everything about the beam above your head if it helps..."
Exactly. For the past month I've read many people here saying protest are useless because of various bullshit reasons. Protest are just a starting point. At protest, people talk, organize, that can lead to more massive protest, a new ideology, a revolution, or nothing. You never know.
I'm French. I have been to many protests. Some ended in massive movement for no reasons. Some died while the cause was very important.
You never know.
Wow, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. More than enough for me for the moment, but it seems I'll have more changes to make than I thought, and a lot more research.
Same in France. All the major parties have been tougher and tougher with immigration for decades, and the far right popularity keeps increasing. It's just validating them and it solves nothing.
People win elections all the time. People celebrate elections all the time. The last time somebody taking power did a gesture that looked like this was probably in Germany, 1933.
This is no coincidence.
We used to go bathing in the river below the road (here).
For a while there was a car on the side of the mountain, about 300meters below the road. The location was pretty much impossible to reach by foot. As a kid I was told it was a car from the rally and the pilots were dead and still inside. Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure the car was plain white, so certainly not a racing car. It was probably an old car somebody threw there because it was cheaper than having it towed to the scrapyard.
Another year though there was a crash on this wall while my brother and his friends seated on top of it. Nobody was hurt but it is kind of sad for the pilots considering it was a few hundred meters from the end of the race.
30 years ago I lived along the road that lead to the Col de Turini. I never thought I'd see that name one day on Lemmy.
Each year, before the rallye monte carlo they gave sticker with "rallye monte Carlo" and the year written on it, and we had to put it on our windshield to get to our home the day before and after the rally. I loved those stickers and I was a bit sad when my old car with the stickers died.
The 1% is a lot more people than I realized.
