  • I did drive a VW id.4 but with how high and huge that thing is the handling was horrible. From all the EV’s I’ve been able to drive/sit in the only good ones were currently Tesla and Skoda.

    It’s not an EV thing, it’s a carmaker (and car type) thing.

    I very much believe EV’s are the future, I just think the EU EV’s have slacked a lot because they were so adamant at staying with fuel based engines and because of that a lot of people think EV’s are so much worse, while the good and decently affordable EV’s sadly come from countries we just don’t really like (US and China)










  • Completely agree than if we make small changes we can have a big impact together / over time. The issue is that these small changes usually come at a cost (financially, time consuming, effort, etc) that young people just cannot really afford easily.

    My message was written more to give the perspective of young people already struggling. If you’re stressing each day about making rent and putting food on the table, why would you take the time to be worried about global issues? It’s really just thinking about the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs


  • Also a question in the regard, what can we influence? The work we do and what we do with our money or culture and climate? 1 is something we have basically direct impact on (and that directly impacts our daily life) the other is basically caused by the top 1% (people and companies) and making our small impact even smaller doesn’t change much and also won’t let us garuantee we can eat tomorrow.

    I am a big supporter of being more climate friendly, but I also don’t think we individuals can make a big dent. We can make small impacts by changing our buying patterns and choosing more ecological when financially possible, but that’s also coming from a position of having the privilige to have enough time and money to focus on that.

    I don’t think pulling down the legal framework of one of our “allies” is a good way to ever repair the relation. We don’t need to try and stoop lower than them, we just need to react fairly while building up our own economy so we are less depended on them. I think that’s the way.

    I’m european (as you probably noticed with my lemmy instance), for me the most important message of what is happening now is that we need to be less dependend on the US. The fact that this can happen and damage us so much means we need to be more self sufficient.

    As a kid/teen I wanted to move to the US, now as an adult I noticed how good we have it here.
