I'm admittedly an asshole on this topic as I have a few classic cars that are not good on gas. Although I drove them about 3k miles per year. But still, not green.
Thank you for mentioning trains! So much could be improved by (relatively) simply refurbishing our rail systems. But the oil companies don't want that, you know know Musk sure as hell doesn't want that!I don't honestly know if we have enough nickle (and rare earths) to support a fully electric future, M. I doubt it, not in a world with 8 billion people.Yes, I believe we are trading one ecologically destructive practice for another.As for cost effectiveness of efficient engines for cars, I think in the long run that's a moot point for all but the most rural or remote places. We really need to change our car-culture ways. I'm not saying, "Get rid of your classic cars". If I still had my '65 Malibu, I would restore it and drive it once in a while- a few hundred miles a year. But for the most part, we need to get as many cars off the road as possible. Refurbish rail systems, increase public transit, walk more, live close to school and work. To me, that's the only solution that makes sense."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

Basically my whole philosophy and argument comes down to this:
Basically one of the reasons I'd say Saturn went ass up - they were making an argument against themselves. Because this commercial was/is fucking dead-on:https://youtu.be/e_oWmY_mkCA

Although I believe they will still hike but the pace and amounts will be less than many feared.

I finalllllly after years of not dealing with some kind of a "save for the future" situation pushed in a lot of money into the stockmarket ilast fall and in JANUARYYYYYY... and then the war came... haha.:
Went down 15% last year. The average for the bank's customers was 22%, so I guess I did some things right. But still. Why didn't I put my money in, in like 2016? OR WHY NOT BE A LITTLE TINY BIT MORE LAZY AND WAITIT JUST A MONTH OR TWO POST WAR"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

I did the same. I'm no expert but see it as a chance to get some more money in before they go up again. and I'm old.
The worst of times..they don't phase me,

The market was already going down before the war started. The war poured gas on on the inflation fire, but it had already started and markets were already going down (they peaked the first week of 2022). I think due to all the causes (governments spending money they didn't have, low interest rates, etc..). The cat was already out of the bag. The war added more problems to it, but the market was going down either way.

That's also because sports cards are a secondary market that has zero value and moves with the overall economy. When the economy is doing well it's a luxury to deal pieces of cardboard. It's like people have amnesia from the greatest recession since the Great Depression 15 years ago and are acting like this is all new (and to clarify this is no where near the magnitude of what that was). History repeats itself, there's always con men to convince a fool to separate with their money. Only good part of that is the con men are also fools.0

People with extra money do throw it around rather carelessly when the getting is good, I will say that.0 -

It gets annoying when I've been buying and selling the same way for years and johnny come latelys make me have to adjust. If I have the inventory of what they want though I make a killing. Aaron Judge and Julio Rodriguez were very good to me this year.0
