That’s a relatively new phenomenon
that’s definitely going on for at least 5 years
I was merely providing an example of why Uber gained adoption early on.
ok, from that point of view it definitely makes sense

The fact that they would actually show up.
unless you see the uber car circling around you on the map, then canceling the ride and cashing in the “cancelation fee”
The dispatcher would tell you someone will be there in 20 minutes and, if you were lucky, somebody might show up in 45. Before Uber, there was more than one occasion where I ended up stranded downtown until 4 or 5am after the bars had closed at 3:00.
yeah, but this is not an invention of uber. it is just that we got the to point where technology allowed what was not possible before. yes, uber was faster to adapt it than traditional taxi industry, but they are not doing it for your blue eyes, they are doing it for profit and they do lot of shady stuff to achieve it.
where do you think the drivers who don’t even speak the language and look nothing like the face on the licence are getting the cars?
it is just that instead of exploiting them working in construction industry, they now exploit them behind the wheel.

i read it as “with that .ml, you might be military enthusiast, so you should know about nato”…
the trend between 3 years ago and now. also, don’t forget to combine that knowledge with my point 2.
that’s my point. read what i am reacting to.
my point is, if they actually asked, i am betting my left hand they would be in in the first possible wave (contrary to… majority of countries in that queue). 2030 would actually be super fast.
with that .ml tag
.ml is not .mil
i am not going to blame you, you are not alone in making that mistake 😆
There are now N. Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, [ Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo ?], Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, [Turkey ?] all in the queue to join EU
it is not FIFO queue. some of these countries are more prepared to actually join than the others.
- it is more about the trend
- 52% is a lot, if the other party has 35% and the rest “do not know”…
yeah, greeks are paying for whole europe for some time now. oh, wait… 😂
4·5 days agoI’m not based in the US, this is all so alien to me.
neither am i, but i for sure have read a lot about how religious fanatics harass and attack abortion clinics and their clients, this is exactly the same…
You clearly don’t. Reading the article before asking questions about the article might help.
Because lot of people got rich by being selfish assholes, so you can’t really expect them to change now. But some people can afford it and are.
Just saw this graph in neighbouring comment.

It is not going down, but at least it stopped going up in last 10 years. So something is happening.
It will take time. I drive 10 yo ICE car and I can’t afford new ev car now, but hopefully before my current car will die in 5+ years, second hand ev market will exist.
That last graph is actually slightly optimistic…

keeping track of people credit history is a huge violation of GDPR and would be illegal in the EU
it is not precisely answering the question, but here in czechia, debt collecting is a private and pretty shady business. there is centralized database of these debts and literally anyone can check literally anyone else in the database, provided you know the person’s equivalent of social security number, at any post office.
that is not the debt from credit cards as americans understand it, but debt where you had to pay something and didn’t, maybe you got behind on your rent or w/e, and the court confirmed the debt and allowed it to go to private debt collecting.
Fuel density doesn’t matter, what matters is how far you can drive on a charge.
Charge time doesn’t matter if you can swap a battery in 3 minutes instead of waiting to charge.
- they matter for the reason i explained. you are acting like we can simply build as much batteries as we want, which is not true
- and change them as conveniently as filling up the gas tank, which is also not true.
- and the whole “just swap the battery” concept leads to need of more batteries -> go to (1)
Also you’re ignoring that fossil fuels are also dug out of the ground
i am not, i am not defending fossil fuel, i am just pointing out that the ev concept has problems that are not widely talked about.
just because some other strategy has problems doesn’t mean your strategy is problem free.
Go to uber recruitment center, tell them you don’t have a car or bussines licence and ask if they can do something for you. See what happens.
