Most Nazis predated the Nazis, the Nazis were only around 20ish years or so.

My 150 mile commute

Is that 150 miles each way, or is it 150 miles roundtrip?

Okay, counterpoint: If fascists can’t produce decent engineers, then why did the US hire the nazi rocket scientists after WW2?

Adding to OP:

Framework: You are self-employed.

Depending on your definition of “possible”:

1. Unban kei cars. Cars are cheaper if there’s less car.
2. Build more public transport (particularly trains, electric of course) so more people don’t need cars, then tax ICE cars heavily
3. Make all greenfield street grids use narrow streets (that means a max width of 6m(20ft) wall-to-wall, for 80% of streets) and over time convert existing grids likewise, which (strongly increases pedestrianism and) encourages any urban car drivers to drive kei cars.
4. If most drivers of big cars are rural, then let the big ag subsidies cover it. Although honestly, if urban drivers stop driving cars (and ~80-90% of people are urban (that includes suburban)), then we’re 80-90% of the way there anyway, and the last 10% doesn’t matter.

Point 2 and 3 would require major political buy-in (and they’re also sort of the same step anyway), which strains the definition of possible. But it’s quite financially feasible.

They’re $15k because the government is paying for the rest of the car, they control the lithium, they don’t give a shit about environmental regulations, and they use slave labor to produce these materials and cars.

Hey, maybe it’s because:

1. They put heavy emphasis on EVs since 2009
2. They don’t kowtow to ICE car companies; ICE cars have a cap system that makes them expensive, every ICE car has one day of the week they aren’t allowed on the road (determined by number plate)
3. Their car companies aren’t all pre-invested into massive ICE car factories
4. The govt has very consistently supported EVs - western countries tend to flip-flop, e.g. when a conservative govt is elected
5. They’ve more extensively vertically integrated their EV manufacturing (which to be fair, is an extension of point 3)

The industry experts have done teardowns of chinese EVs, and concluded shortcutting and labor abuse alone can’t explain the low pricepoint. As shitty as the CCP is, if we don’t recognize that China is ahead on EVs then they’ll eat our lunch. EU/US tariffs on Chinese EVs won’t stop them, because they’re selling to the entire world, not just the EU/US. It’ll be Harley Davidson all over again (who received protectionist tariffs against japanese motorcycles until Harley Davidson could “catch up” on affordability - and the rest is history).

Even if Chinese labor standards were the problem (and people don’t mention that US/EU cars have plenty of Chinese components, made by Chinese workers with Chinese wages - Ford, Tesla etc have ), the result of the tariffs is that they’re setting up factories in Mexico (just like Ford/etc) where they’ll be bound by the same labor standards as everyone else. And they’re still undercutting everyone.

This is bullshit. Roman public fountains and baths didn’t require any sort of license, the fountains (which were used for fetching water for personal use) had priority over baths, bathing in fountains was strictly forbidden, and also why the fuck is he getting water directly from a cistern? Those aren’t even publicly accessible.

Also, why bring an amphora instead of just a bucket?
