Yeah it’s not like the WV Westfalia that had you sit over the front wheel where the only choice for crumple zones was your legs.
When they made the new beattle it had a very similar shape as well. I see no reasons why it couldn’t be made with modern safety standards with very minimal changes to the exterior body. Obviously, I’m not a member of the SAE.

That’s not entirely true, some do in fact use water cooling. There’s even “of the shelf” solutions from Supermicro.

It’s not widespread, but it’s not inexistent.

Most of the reports I see about the police being awful seem to come from the US.

What’s your issue exactly?

Yes that’s the point. I’m replying to one one who thinks this is only an issue in the US.

Since at least 1976, police have picked up Indigenous men, women, and boys, then left them miles outside the city on sub-zero winter nights, leading to what’s known as the Saskatoon freezing deaths.

In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US
How much maternity leave d’you get in the US? Cause in. China it’s a minimum of 90 days up to 180. And an extra 15~30 days of pat leave. Mandatory paid holiday? US: 0 China: 11. Sick leave? US: 0 China: months (at reduced rate).
The work sfatey certainly remains an issue, like any developing country, but things are rapidly improving.

Alternatively we could start subsiding local car makers
We have been. Bailout after bailout. For the longest fucking time, and have had insane trade rules and tarrigs in place for decades and decades. I’d argue this is what another country finally being able to play on a level playing field.

What a dumb ass comment. Masoud has been in power since 2024. He’s f on the reformist party. And was elected with 53.7% of the vote during the run off election.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US government just tax illegal immigrants a little bit more than the Average american? Then use those funds to fix infastructure or a new WPA of the 21st century? 5 weeks ago:
a) the main purpose is to avoid paying b) because spending a bunch of cash can be suspicious to other agencies that are looking, like if law enforcement is already suspicious and starts seeing a ton of large purchases without a legitimate source of income they will figure out something is up c) because people don’t know any better.

Fair enough. The same saying often goes for sex workers.
That’s how they ended up catching Al Capone, on tax fraud charges.

How do you mean? The whole point is to encourage people, everyone, to pay taxes. It’s a great system. Taxes enforcement should be truly independent from all other agencies to maximize trust and honesty.

The IRS normally doesn’t share files with anyone. Don’t you know the old saying? The best way not to get caught as a drug dealer is to file your taxes.
If you look at my other comment, undocumented people in the US contribute over $90B in taxes every year!

You can’t tax them at all, at least officially, without giving them the authorization to work.
You should probably know that this isn’t correct at all. Undocumented immigrants do in fact pay income tax in the US. The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to everyone, regardless of status.
Regardless of immigration status, both resident and nonresident immigrants may have federal tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.
reuters.com/…/undocumented-immigrants-can-do-pay-…
Undocumented immigrants paid nearly $97 billion in federal, state and local taxes in 2022, according to a July 2024 report , opens new tab by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), which used data on taxpayers with ITINs to estimate tax revenue.
The ITEP report said undocumented immigrants contributed $59.4 billion to the federal government, including payments for federal income tax and federal social insurance such as Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance.

The IRS issues “Individidual Tax Identification Number” for undocumented immigrants who don’t have a social security number.

Yeah I have the same worry. We have a weighted blanket that we still haven’t washed and it bothers me. I don’t need to wash it regularly but it would be good to give it an initial wash after purchase, but I’m worried about damaging my front loader :(
