What are you even talking about? EV's require far less ongoing maintenance than ICE cars and if you have charging at home, you're not stopping for gas all the time in the middle of errands etc. There are almost never "bugs" and if there are, most are taken care of by over-the-air updates whereas any problem in an ICE car requires you to go to a dealership.
My experience has been that 99% of EV owners I've talked to say they'll never buy another ICE vehicle.
About 20 years ago we found a true villain in France, when they dared to suggest that destroying Iraq was not a worthy response to 9/11
It was wild. Your below-average American went so far as rewriting their menus so they wouldn’t have to order “French fries” any longer. The pettiness was bottomless.
More recently the Paris accord has given these same below-average Americans angst because it dares offer introspection on the F150 lifestyle that will soon be coming to an end.
Paris is truly evil to dare challenge such mediocrity
Can we stop calling companies with 1,500+ employees and millions in revenue "startups". At what point does the shine wear off and they just become medium-sized companies like any other?
By definition, a startup is any newly established company. We can argue over how much time defines what is newly established, but can't argue that the size, revenue, or money raised define what is new.
The definition of a startup is a company that is still searching for a viable business model / target customers / distribution channel. The size, age, amount raised or even revenue doesn't matter. Only that whatever revenue it has, it is sustainable, and customer acquisition is repeatable.
Yeah what's stopping people doing this? Do they hate 'advance fees' and just want to pay yearly because they consider themselves financially savvy, or what is the issue?
God how can I downvote this. Did you even read what the OP said? So in this case the "dissidents" are people that appreciate incremental change, like their opinions to be valued in their respective field of expertise, and possibly appreciate being able to work from home?
