I'm no exception to your rule, but are you really so confident that all of humanity shares the same appetite for status signalling? I'm not a particularly social person, but even I…

No, they may not explicitly enjoy it, yet they likely appreciate the ease the automobile-focused society brings, even though it contributes to around 7000 pedestrian fatalities ann…

My guess: people dislike critical discussion about the things they enjoy.

What? Clearly this man receives a great deal of value(>$50k) in having these statues in front of his home. Just because in theory, he's creating value for the franchise that he isn…

> it's far more eco friendly and lower carbon Footprint to own an rv and travel and stay in it in various places than to own several properties and fly between them. It's considere…

The prius is one of the most reliable vehicles on the road today. These are just priuses with larger batteries and more powerful electric motors.

I'm really skeptical of your argument. To start with, you mention that many presidents majored in History-- but the prestige came from the law degree that followed, not the history…

You don't think they controlled for that?

Isn't this paper discussing land use, and not environmental friendliness? Concerns such as the cost of transport are ignored here.

I know you couldn't find it, but what was even the basic principle? It's hard for me to imagine that dramatically increasing land use, transportation and infrastructure costs could…

According to wikipedia[1], an ebike is about 10x as efficient per passenger mile as a tesla. Also, an ebike is 2x(!) as efficient as a conventional bike. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedi…

I don't think the risk to yourself is the reason why operating a motor vehicle is a licensed activity.

Why do you think that?

How is it clearly trash?

I apologize if I'm being too pedantic, but actually facebook closing would affect lots of companies who use fb ads to reach customers.

Purely out of curiosity: why does poor capital utilization concern you? It's their gamble, their resources, their right, I think.
