Tire wear is proportional to vehicle mileage and weight. A tire tax would effectively do the same thing while being easier to implement.

Incentivizes not replacing tires which is bad for safety and all.

Could it be a regional thing? Tabling a bill means the literal opposite depending on the legislative structure.

Actual engineer: the glass requires a 2.0 factor of safety.

That's what's being suggested here. The right wing site only lists businesses that chose to list themselves. I don't think the site even had reviews.

From their reddit page:

We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the Inclusion Day march scheduled for April 30th. This decision comes after a targeted doxxing attack against Joe, our President, and growing safety concerns—especially given the rising hostility directed at the LGBTQIA+ community. Our top priority is and always will be the safety of our people.

We may not be marching this month, but we’re not going anywhere. We stand in full solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community, and we will continue to show up however and wherever we can.

More soon. Stay safe and stay strong.

Whenever anyone says "hey man" to me I respond with, "no, not anymore" and they tend to get really confused.

MIT Technology Review is talking

they did talk about this many years ago. This is a very old screenshot that has been around the internet for probably a decade at a guess. You might notice the check mark because this was from a time that twitter actually vetted sources. There's nothing wrong with a publication having bad takes on occasion. That does happen now and again.

The telling part is the fact that this one single tweet keeps being reposted repeatedly, with the reply as if this is a substantive criticism of capitalism.

I see this posted a lot as if this is an issue with capitalism. No, this is what happens when you have to deal with maintaining the power grid using capitalism as a tool.

Power generation needs to match consumption. Always constantly the power grid must be balanced. If you consume more than you can generate, you get a blackout. If you generate more than you use, something catches fire.

Renewables generate power on their own schedule. This is a problem that can be solved with storage. But storage is expensive and takes time to construct.

Negative prices are done to try and balance the load. Its not a problem, its an opportunity. If you want to do something that needs a lot of power, you can make money by consuming energy when more consumption is needed. And if you buy a utility scale battery, you can make money when both charging and discharging it if you schedule it right.

That's not renewables being a problem, that's just what happens when the engineering realities of the power grid come into contact with the economic system that is prevalent for now.
