That's why independent news media is so important. And not just independent from state interference, but also financially. Consolidation into a few big players is really counterproductive.
And lately there is the whole social media debacle that needs a solution, even more so with fakes and invented "news" becoming more and more easier. That's an unsolved problem that needs a solution.
However an informed population really is the only way to keep a system from going downhill, everything else basically bets on some benevolent ruling class or dictator and history has plenty of examples how that goes.
Not surprising tbh.,I've been in a security meeting before where the owner of the company just said outright his password was written in big letters on the outside of the building we were sitting in. Some people really have zero sense for security or just don't care.
Not sure that would help that much. A good amount of Bosch's business is in manufacturing parts for internal combustion engines, that's going away in any case.
Don't ignore the media. A lot of money also means a lot of media attention which is skewed to the right and the whole social media, advertising industry and getting paid by clicks favors emotional content.
Human nature seems to be a huge part of it. Blaming someone else for all your troubles is such a winning concept, it's really hard to fight against it. Plus actually having to acknowledge real issues and trying to fix them often comes with people having to change or sacrifice and that's a hard sell compared to someone just pretending to have perfect solutions and that everything will be fine.
Sadly emotions win debates against facts almost every time.
None of that is true. There is due process, no hit squads. They will have the ability to bring this to court (a process which they already started). And deportation would happen to where they come from, so other EU countries and the US.
Most people suggest nuclear baseload with renewables+battery for peaks.
Except baseload doesn't really exist anymore in a power grid with lots of renewables. Those renewables already produce 100% of what is required at times and those times will become more common, and small gaps can be bridged with batteries etc. The real gap with renewables is going to be those times when there is no sun and wind for days, which apparently happens only a few times a year for a week or so at a time. And building a bunch of hugely expensive power plants and then have them sit idle for 95% of the time isn't a good plan.
Interesting. I don't have a car any more and no kids, but my friends that do always tell me their kids need more breaks than the electric car. And I always found that I need breaks every 2-3 hours anyway to keep the alertness high. I can't imagine going 400 miles in one go.
and often 800 miles in a day (takes about 13-14 hours driving)
Oh wow. After my last trip that was supposed to take like 9 hours and ended up more like 12, I decided to never do that to myself ever again. But I guess if you have multiple drivers that can share the burden, such along day on the road is still an option.
I'd rather force safety requirements on all cars. Like limiting blind spots at the front and everywhere else, limiting speeds of vehicles above certain weights, increasing license requirements for vehicles that have higher safety impact etc.
