My “catchphrase” is something I personally said, not someone else’s rhetoric. I would ask that you do not make assumptions about what I am saying based on what other people say. If the people who are Islam have a culture that is compatible with that country, let them in. If they are of a culture that practices or supports sharia law and your country believes in women’s freedoms, they probably should not be accepted.

If a neo Nazi said “the sky is blue”, would you say everyone who says the sky is blue is repeating neo Nazi rhetoric?

Ideally different parties should have more in common than what separates them. Otherwise you get what has been happening between Republicans and Democrats in the USA. Willingly introducing that separation is foolishness.

Was it functional the 30 years before the increase in immigration?

No it doesn’t. It assumes that countries have synergistic cultures.

I’m not saying one culture is better than another. I’m saying if the cultures are incompatible, you shouldn’t force them together.

In other words, if you are a household that is obsessed with a particular football team, you probably shouldn’t get a roommate that is obsessed with your team’s rivals. Any time football is brought up, you will be at odds. I’m not saying liking one football team over the other is the correct choice, just that incompatible beliefs breeds hostility.

If the social systems are breaking down from being overloaded, it sounds like too many immigrants were accepted and some need to be sent back.

Absolutely not. Countries should not accept people who are incompatible with their culture. That just causes division.

Turn off location sharing on Google maps. You have your location shared with everyone and Google marks your location as good parking.

I would have said healthy human mindset but sure, asshole works as well.

Lack of concern what random people think of me.

I’m not embarrassed.

I’m calling bullshit on that. Here’s an article from motortrend showing it has a towing range of just about 100 miles. I’ve seen that backed up by numerous other tests. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f150-lightning-electric-truck-towing-test/

I’ve seen references to the ICE getting 9-10 with a 23 gallon tank. That’s more than double the range with a refuel time being an order of magnitude faster.

Batteries in trailers would help. However now you have a battery to tow, which would still have an impact both because of stopping and going and the DOE estimates for each 100lbs extra weight in your vehicle, your MPGs gets a ~2% reduction. Additionally I would not recommend strapping a battery to a boat trailer unless you are sure it was waterproof. Even then it would make it sink into sand easier.

You do what you want. But I’ll make my infrastructure decisions based on my edge cases. Others will as well. Sometimes those edge cases are important to people.

Trailers have a habit of cutting the range by 66%. Someone I know has an EV and tows their bikes to a nearby city. They have to charge mid trip in both directions. That’s unacceptable to me and a lot of others. I’m fine with a vehicle with 300 miles of range. But 100 miles of range to tow a boat? I wouldn’t make it back without a recharge. Probably two charges because charging stations wouldn’t be anywhere near the lake in rural areas. So in that scenario I would have to give up boating for an electric vehicle because I’m not about to do that.

This isn’t like the consequences of adding a water filter means you now have to change a water filter every year, this is something that would turn a vacation into something unenjoyable. Meaning it’s a decision that would make you give up that type of vacation if that’s your only car. It’s a sacrifice not an inconvenience.

I’d rather not refuel in -20F weather on a single trip. Add in a trailer and a road trip becomes a charging trip with intermittent driving.

What? You think what you post online is private or something?

I like the potential of the outside but it looks like they are using it as a billboard rather than a cool visual. It also needs a night mode.
