Minority rule

@makkhorn the nazi party was a minority, too, on the day they seized power.

@makkhorn it was a combination, but mostly hitler appealed to german corporations, who were terrified of the growing influence of communism.

Today, there are around 1.31 billion personal vehicles (cars, trucks, and SUVs) in the world. 🚙 Of those, only about 2% are hybrid or electric. The other 98% are ICE vehicles burning gasoline/petrol.

By 2050, it’s estimated we’ll have about 2.21 billion vehicles in the world. That’s a HUGE number, almost 70% greater than today.

But how many of those will be electric? Instead of only 2%, it’s expected they will increase to around 31% of the total.

That sounds great! 😃 More EVs is a good thing, right?

Well, if 31% are EVs in 2050, that means the other 69% will still be ICE vehicles burning gas/petrol. So the number of cars and trucks and SUVs burning fossil fuels will go UP from 1.28 billion now to about 1.52 billion by 2050.

That’s… not so good. 😠

We don’t need more cars, more traffic, more congestion, more pollution, more road damage, and more CO2 emissions.

What we need is:

❇️ More bicycles
❇️ More electric bikes
❇️ More pedestrians
❇️ More mass transit
❇️ More light rail

NOT MORE CARS!!

🤦🏻‍♀️“Rogan’s fresh deal, estimated to be worth as much as $250 million over its multiyear term, involves an upfront minimum guarantee, plus a revenue sharing agreement based on ad sales.
Under the new licensing agreement, Spotify will sell ads for and distribute “The #JoeRogan Experience” across several podcast platforms, including in a video format on YouTube, the company said Friday. Under his previous deal, the show was exclusive to Spotify”

@GottaLaff how did the newsradio handyman who fed roaches to people ever come to have so much influence?

Someone criticized me for doing self-promotion. I'm sorry, but if I don't promote my Patreon then who will? George Takei? I don't think so. George seems like a great guy, but he is very busy saving democracy and verbally destroying wannabe fascists. It pains me to say it but George might not have time to promote my silly little facts.

@lowqualityfacts i have no problem with you promoting yourself and your work. if all the photographers and painters and jewelry folks can (and do), why not you? more power to you.

Again, thanks for your replies and kind words.

I’m reading, just not replying. Too tired, up half the night. But I’m perfectly able to do what I’m doing, and I am resting, so please don’t worry.❤️

Newsmax host: Donald #Trump is an old man just like Joe Biden…

#KariLake: I think that's a derogatory way of referring to President Trump…

Donald Trump is not an old man. He’s a very sharp man. His cognitive abilities are unlike anything I’ve ever seen [😂, same here, Kari]…Benjamin Franklin was 81 when he… There’s a lot going on up here (points to her head) with Pres [sic] Trump…”

    @breadandcircuses in practice, experience teaches us that it's both. look at cuba, china, and russia. there is always an in group, no matter the economic system, and they always take the majority of wealth for themselves.
