More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.

    God forbid we criticise the system for its failures.

    What is truly hard is doing better

    Yeah, mate, it’s so hard not murdering millions of people in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Iraq. They just die by themselves when the bombs happen to drop on them, so unfortunate.

    Saying that things are difficult is actually an excuse for inaction and lukewarm reformism, as has been shown over the past decades with the Palestine occupation by Israel for example. The whole “it’s so difficult” framework exposed in western media led to public opinion not being swayed one way or the other. Now, with the advent of social media and the access to international media of all ideologies, people clearly see there’s a settler genocidal state bombing another. It’s easy: stop the fucking bombings, and stop the settling, and stop the blockade on Gaza. It’s not hard not bombing people, it actually costs a lot of money.

    If you want constructive solutions I’ll give you constructive solutions. Abolish unemployment by creating public employment. Abolish exploitation of the working classes by expropriating the means of production. Abolish homelessness and solve the housing crisis by building prefab housing on a nationwide scale. Stop bombing developing countries. All things I’m saying have been achieved by poorer nations 50+ years ago, it can be done and it’s absolutely realistic.

    Now, what do you propose?
