Yeah, the profit margin is definitely much better on Silverados with it already being established technology and brand.

I’d wager that they cost more to make than an EV though given the complexity of a combustion engine and all the associate systems like fuel, exhaust, emissions, etc.

ICE vehicles (especially trucks) have high dollar components like transmissions, transfer cases and differentials that aren’t used in EVs. Last I checked an engine cost about the same as a battery pack these days, if not more.

I find it hard to believe that a Silverado costs less to make than a Bolt. Where’d you hear that?

To avoid the accusation of “joining the war” soldiers have become legal citizens of Ukraine to help fight. Not only US soldiers but soldiers from other European nations as well.

The same thing has been done in Russia using Chinese, North Korean and Brazilian citizens just to name a few.

But the US military has definitely been sharing intel with Ukraine. Ukraine doesn’t have the ability to spot their targets deep inside of Russia alone.

The existence of the US military is a prerequisite for the development and manufacturing of those weapons. The US military trained Ukrainians on weapons use and tactics and shared intel. Some even became contractors to join the fight.

Other than that it sounds like you agree with me that this is a leadership problem.

Supply weapons, labor and funding and got European nations to do the same. This was before Trump became president.

Not only that but if it wasnt for the US military then Russia would control Ukraine and would be advancing into Europe.

Or China would have already invaded Taiwan.

Or North Korea would control South Korea.

The problem here isn’t the US military. It’s the leadership.

But the foreign bots brigading lemmy want the US military weaker so those nations can advance their geopolitical goals.

Says the country supplying Russia with drones

Yes it is comically ignorant to pretend more people won’t suffer worse from climate change than from high fuel prices.

I’ll just share the first line:

Global heating could become “catastrophic” for humanity if temperature rises are worse than many predict or cause cascades of events we have yet to consider, or indeed both.

Definition of Catastrophic adjective US  /ˌkæt̬.əˈstrɑː.fɪk/ UK /ˌkæt.əˈstrɒf.ɪk/: causing sudden and very great harm or destruction: An unchecked increase in the use of fossil fuels could have catastrophic results for the planet.

It’s hilarious that the example for the definition of the word Catastrophic is also proving you wrong.

Or are you trying to argue that if it doesn’t happen at exactly the end of the century that the destruction of our species doesn’t matter?

Here was your original statement:

Also, greenhouse gases are primarily emitted into the lower atmosphere, not the stratosphere

Your own source states that the stratosphere is part of the lower atmosphere. Thanks for proving my point for me and again showing everyone that you either don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re a fossil fuel shill spreading their misinformation trying to downplay climate change.

Said no reputable climate scientist ever.

Climate change: Potential to end humanity is ‘dangerously underexplored’ say experts

Also, greenhouse gases are primarily emitted into the lower atmosphere, not the stratosphere

The stratosphere is in the lower atmosphere. Thanks for showing everyone you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The amount of money you would have to spend to keep a diesel on the road for 300k is more than the cost of a new EV.

If we don’t stop putting greenhouse gasses into the stratosphere today then we will be extinct by the end of the century.

We will be facing extinction by the end of the century if we don’t stop putting greenhouse gases into the stratosphere today.

Climate change is an extinction level event. You don’t think that is going to cause suffering? You’re clutching your pearls at the idea of trying to prevent extinction so you obviously don’t care about human suffering.

Diesel vehicles are the same price range as electric vehicles if not more expensive. The cost of ownership on diesels is way way more than an EV.

You don’t think poor people suffer from climate change? Or are you a science denier?

Leftist can’t win nation wide elections until voters want them to. The majority of which are to the right or center of the ideological spectrum.

Leftists claiming they know how to win elections better than democrats are lying to themselves as we can prove using actual nation wide election results.

Leftists that cannot win elections should not be attacking the party giving them a platform, they should be trying to win over voters.
