Reply to An ESA advisory committee has recommended Europe should independently develop its own space station when the ISS retires, and develop its own lunar base independently of NASA's Artemis plans. by lughnasadh
Lol you guys thought the US government blows money on bloated projects.
At least we solved our space bloat with fix cost contracts aka spaceX….the ESA needing to making sure every country is happy will bleed money to make sure certain jobs stay in certain countries.
If europe wants to be competitive they have to switch to fix cost contracts with no strings.
Simply x money to perform y tasks.

And I’m not talking about hidden costs, dealerships have prices higher than MSRP.
Except Tesla because there’s no Tesla dealerships

The poor don't drive in NYC they take the subway.

mostly trucks, deliver vans or freight rail which has a last mile deliver via truck/van
>They you can walk in the middle of the street without a care in the world.
Do you realize the subway exists?

Now think this is just for congestion pricing in one city.
Imagine trying to make cross state rail systems, expand port capacity, build a massive solar farm, etc etc.

Really because i'm in the market and for the same price it seems Tesla comes out ahead, especially because the price you see online is the price you pay. Then there's supercharging stations.

Purely due to over burdensome regulatory compliance. Also solar costs don’t count in battery storage usually.

Well there’s a reason why firms are engaging in more aggressive offshoring.
There’s also a point where if you need a remote job done and an American wants 2x the salary of a European to do the job….and way more than that of an Indian well it makes sense just to hire multiple people overseas even if you lose some of the benefits of having them onshore.

Reply to TikTok’s master plan to win over Washington — Millions spent on lobbyists, a billion spent on safeguards. Will it be enough to stay in the United States? (26 Jan. 2023) by marketrent
Funny.
Remember the 1990s, congress was talking about (read harassing) Microsoft. Most tech firms then wanted to stay far away from DC so DC came to them…..and once tech stated ‘lobbying’ and opening up bullshit offices in certain districts the harassment stopped.
