That's a house hippo!
I'd be okay with the govt owning shares, honestly. That way the public would get a voice in how these megacorps operate, and that voice would get bigger the larger the company becomes.
I know, me too... And to add the icing on the cake, it broke like 2 weeks ago just 6 months outside warranty (red light & beeping). I'm installing a Tesla Universal Wall Connector instead.
They always force me to get the 80$ lenses... Still pretty cheap, but it ends up more around 100$ so I only change every couple years.
Funnily enough, I don't think I've seen one of those yet
Oh yeah I'm sure prices are a big part of it, my question is about how they manage it I guess.
In Québec, Canada. EVs are relatively popular here, as we have a very good public charging network (Electric Circuit), we get $12k off most EVs at purchase (not a tax credit, $5k from the federal govt, $7k from the provincial govt) and $600 for home charging equipment. Our electricity is also pretty cheap and 99.9% green (Hydro).
Looks like Chevy is doing something right with their EVs, because the Blazer and Equinox have been for sale for what, 6 months? And already I see at least one of them almost every day. I feel like there are more on the road around me than there are Mach-Es or F-150 Lightnings, which have been for sale for much longer.
The store nearest me will deliver whatever you want for a $30 flat rate. I have a minivan so I can still carry a lot of stuff myself but for that price it lets me avoid messing with removing my seats so it's worth it
Funnily enough, in my town there used to be a Future Shop, and then a Best Buy sprung up in the new commercial district, but apparently couldn't compete because it closed 2 years later. Then about a year later Best Buy bought Future Shop and they re-branded the existing Future Shop to Best Buy.
Yeah, ToysRUs is alive and well in Canada. I have no idea that the bottom-right one is.
In theory, the government is elected by the public. Not a given these days, I know.
