Yes, I would die trying to save children even if I wasn’t armed at all let alone it being the job I was fucking trained for. You are a disgusting coward. Fuck off with this shit.

Yeah the echo chamber / groupthink here is kinda not great. Hopefully it gets better as the platform grows
More succinct questions would be: How many illegal border crossings with the intent to stay in the US permanently is an issue? 100k/month? 50k? 10k? None?
This is reductive
Just chiming in to say I appreciate seeing these reasonable takes
In the US, frontier, spirit, allegiant just to name a few. Flights such as ATL to Orlando etc.

I love the “pretty sure” here
Possibly for the same reason(s) you haven’t
I think this argument is kind of a misconception. Just because an EV drivetrain has fewer moving parts than an ICE doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more reliable. There is a decent AP article from November 2023 that touches on this and suggests that EVs are actually far more unreliable than traditional ICE vehicles. I would link it but I can’t figure out how to remove all the tracking junk from the URL.
Regardless I really like the idea of one day owning an EV so I hope most of these issues will be worked out as the technology matures.
Because they are relatively new in the automotive world. I can take my '08 CRV to just about any auto parts store in America and get just about any part I need (or take it to about any third party repair shop with the same results). Good luck doing that with most EVs especially Teslas. Tesla is the most egregious example as they are anti right to repair and have seemed to take a page out of Apple’s book as far as locking down their supply chain for parts.
Hopefully this will get better with time as third party shops have time to acclimate themselves and their technicians to EV architecture, and EV-specific parts become more available. Though the latter I feel is highly dependent on manufacturers not trying to turn EVs into phones in terms of repairability/serviceability.
In the meantime, as an average Joe without a lot of money, I really like the idea of keeping my relatively low cost older ICE vehicles because if shit hits the fan, if I can’t fix it relatively cheaply, there will likely be multiple shops that can without it costing me an arm and a leg and/or taking weeks or months to wait on the manufacturer to supply the parts needed.
Repairability is a big one for reasons not to get a new ev for me
I understand the arguments you’re making and the logic behind them. I just completely disagree. It’s a really bad take and your anology about cancer is not even a remotely relatable situation. I’m just going to assume you’re trolling and move on.
