The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

London, city proper, has been converting to electric doubledecker buses and electrified classic black taxis. Pollution is noticeably down.

There are slow charging plugs in many of the *lampposts* next to street parking spaces outside apartment buildings and hotels. More are going in all the time. There's no fighting over EV parking spaces because there are plenty of them, and - shockingly, right? - the chargers just work. Unlike here.

There are a variety of BEVs and hybrids on the roads. Being Europe, they're smaller than ours. Gas is 75% more expensive than here. People

It just takes commitment and thoughtful application of science with common sense. It all points to a much different social compact than the gun-toting, every person for themselves and screw the little guy / corporate kleptocracy mentality that's gripped a lot of this country.
