  I don’t know much at all about the EV industry, especially how their technology differs between manufacturers. But does that really matter, strictly speaking? Like the majority of “other” repairs are going to be just as uniform as traditional vehicles; things like tire changes, brakes, suspension, and whatever else I’m not smart enough to know about.

  Other than the actual engine itself, can that other stuff really be fully proprietary, or non-servicable?

  I thought being religiously motivated also would qualify as a hate crime? Or is the implication that one’s religion is also immutable?

  I don’t love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.

  Sure, there might’ve been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people’s condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)

  I’m unfamiliar with the mineral rights treaty specifics, but I remember it being said that it was a pretty shite deal for Ukraine anyway, and that it likely wouldn’t have been signed anyway

  Don’t forget the kidnapping and holding against their will! Gotta make sure they have time to realize just how rich you are.

  Agreed. Not sure it’s quite $100k cool, but still cool.
