It's happening, the worst mayor Toronto has ever had is removing three major recently completed bike lanes at tax payer expense. That's right, Ontario tax payers are footing the bill for Ford to meddle in Toronto municipal infrastructure. This is of course to distract us from failing healthcare and education while appealing to his mostly car centric base.

There is a protest happening Wed. 23rd of October, please come out if you can. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rally-ride-for-road-safety-tickets-1045417761667

Yeah, apparently paying for a service you use and enjoy is stupid or something. 🤷‍♂️

I just pay for YouTube premium family. We all get add free YouTube. Plus music which we all use. It's a great value and no hastle. More money goes to creators this way as well.

The CEO of the company that fired me consistently goes up on stage and talks about the transformative power of AI. The company does not use AI for shit.

Yup. Perfect is the enemy of good. If you wait for everything to be just right, nothing ever happens.

Something like 43% of all marriages in the US end in divorce. Take into account that many people who want to, can't due to economic or societal reasons so the number of unhappy marriages is well over half.

Hyundai seems to be the top choice right now. They have the best combination of value, features, technology and reliability.

The Ioniq 5 is, at least where I live in Canada, is on a perpetual waitlist (except for the base 2wd model nobody wants). I'm personally waiting for the Ioniq 7 to replace my rusting Outback.

Audi: too expensive, poor reliability Subaru/Toyota: released a shit compliance car.

Again, overpriced junk. My point is that it's not that nobody wants EVs. It's that nobody wants the crap these makers are selling.

It goes hand in hand with the prices. If you're going to spend that much more on a BEV, you want it to be different. And making it look different doesn't cost significantly more.

Also, car shape and style has so much to do with ICE vehicle design necessity.

I disagree on Tesla. Their minimalist interface is a huge turnoff.

Yes, availability in the US is much better. You can find a base ioniq 5 here easily now, but nobody wants those. Everyone wants the long range AWD.

A new one in my cycling experience in Toronto. I got rear ended by a food delivery cyclist. They were too busy looking at their phone to notice the light was red. After hitting me, appologiesing, they continued on their way running the red light while looking at their phone.
