If literally every single American went vegan and carless what would be the impact on climate? This is a genuine question and if there is a source on this I'd be interested.

The average impact of driving is greater than that of eating meat IIRC, but I’m not an expert.

A lot of people do the same. Private transactions make up a decent portion of american car sales.

Same. I've owned 34-cars. I currently own four. I have never purchased a new car. The most I've ever paid for a car was for a '66 Bonneville convertible, $8000, back in 2000. I can fix them, so I guess I'm an outlier.

I've owned uh like three cars, my wife has owned 1. I'm 37, so each car lasted me 6 and a half years which isn't too bad. I only ever got another car because loving suicidal deer jumping out of the god drat woods. Goddamn giant rats if you ask me.

I bought my last car in 2000. Still have it, 267k miles. Still gets 38-43mpg. Still on the original clutch.

Buttigieg just aired a commercial during Rutgers v Iowa basketball. Clips of him shaking hands with black people. Talking to black people. Couple interviews with black people. Wonder if that commercial airs during hockey games.

Looks very much the fed up doddering old man who just couldn't stand ignoring any longer and only barely remembers not to completely fly off the handle.

Hope we only get to imagine how he'd handle Trump needling him.

The thing about that Biden clip is when he turns. You can see he's genuinely really loving annoyed in the way he just suddenly, sharply turns around and zeroes in on the guy

Does Buttigieg think that black people just aren't aware of him or something? That if he just proves that he has some black friends that black voters will decide that his support of racist cops in South Bend was all in good fun or something?

I guess it's a rhetorical question because even while I'm typing it I can already hear his campaign strategists in my head, talking in buzz-word filled sentences about pragmatic black voters and how they'll switch over to Mayor Butt en masse if he can just edge out Biden in Iowa. "That Bernie guy is too pie in the sky for them, so you'll reap all the benefits boss, just do an awkward guest appearance with Lizzo to prove you don't vomit in the presence of people darker than tan and their votes are all yours."

Yeah, the way he goes from 0 to 150% and tries to get into their personal space as soon as they challenge him, and the mocking tone that an adult wouldn't have with another really remind me of the early/middle "dad isn't ok" days.

Isn't that just how men of his age act? That was always very much my experience. All that is missing is Biden slapping the guy around a little, maybe calling him some anti-homosexual slurs.

Why does Biden have such a Trumpian amount of gross baggage, as well as Trumpian immunity from its consequences. Nobody's talked about it for a while, but it would sink any other Democrat's career (and even some Republicans') to have even one picture getting Biden's level of handsy with women/girls.

Yeah, I was coming to also post that everything in his facial patterns, his loss of focus when confronting the guy and the excessive repetition of one word, with the attempt to play it off as being normal right after, remind me exactly of my grandma who has both Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Biden floats because D voters think a second Trump term would be gut-punchingly loathsome. Biden has the "He can beat Trump!" shine, and as long as he does he will maintain a strong base of support.

I'm not saying it's deserved or a good thing.

Another spring commute
Bloomberg does realize he got into the race WAY too late to even remotely be a factor, right? Like if he had swooped in while Biden was still flip-flopping on running and claimed the "centrist old white guy who can get the John Q Publics who flocked to Trump back on the Democrats side" lane maybe he'd at least be putting up not completely embarrassing poll numbers, but that ship sailed ages ago.

Something about feeling entitled to political office just breaks rich people brains even more than usual. Reminds me of when Meg Whitman poured more of her own personal wealth into her California Governor bid than any other candidate in US history, and still lost stone cold to Brown because even $144 million in personal campaign financing wasn't enough to distract the electorate from the fact that she was complete poo poo.
