It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

idk a 11k car becoming 22k when I could buy like some toyota or some bullshit for 11k is a hard sell for me, a poor person who already can't afford an 11k car

Sorry if I came across as being dismissive. What I meant was that China already has such a competitive advantage that they’re going to corner the EV market no matter what. Poorer people will still be priced out of it, same as they are now with Tesla and the Ford Volt.

As much as I don’t believe EVs are how we tackle the climate crisis, this is still a net loss for the planet.
