euphronius posted:why aren’t they making the volt quote:The Volt's demise was certainly not a case of drivers hating the car or its garish styling. It wasn't even in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rather, it was a stepping stone. Bob Lutz, the former GM Vice Chairman told CBS News that the Volt was "a financial loser [that] did what was intended." In 2019, the Volt was already old technology with fully electric models like the Chevy Bolt making the Volt redundant. GM also was smack-dab in the middle of retooling several manufacturing facilities. The proliferation of SUVs, crossovers, and trucks didn't help either. According to GM Authority, General Motors cut 10 sedans from its brands in a span of just five years leading up to 2020. The prognosis was not good for the Volt even if it wasn't losing money left and right. Looks like it was a car and GM doesn’t do cars anymore, so it had to go. The Bolt lasted a little while longer, as it could charge more for it, and use it as a development bed for the EV trucks.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Those kids simply need to pick themselves up by the bootstraps. Crawling under trains that could start at any moment is good character building exercise. i mean school's purpose is to prepare the kids for a lifetime of being crushed under the grinding wheel of capital, so IMO they should get extra credit

America is dead set on doing the worst thing possible under all circumstances. If we have to build EVs, we'll build the biggest, stupidest, and least efficient ones possible. That's just how it be.

anonumos posted:You mean the fake restaurants like Beast Burger that farm out orders of their lovely recipes to local joints? Yeah. That's been going on a while. Years. theres that but also doordash, grubhub, etc (and I assume others) would register a domain impersonating local restaurants w/ anemic web presences that would allow you to order and then route that order via their service, skimming the upcharge vs the normal prices they added. on top of service fees. which has also been going on for years

Animal-Mother posted:why not build bridges over the often used train tracks Sometimes underpasses are put into place underneath those commonly used train tracks. Which is great, as they become profit centers for tow truck companies during rainstorms when idiots try to drive through 4-8 feet of water that floods the underpass.

Animal-Mother posted:why not build bridges over the often used train tracks This occurred to me as well but reading the article it says the trains regularly obstruct several intersections all at once in a typical American sprawling car-centric suburb. So if you built a bridge over a single intersection it would still be way out of the way for most people and probably not help much, and presumably building them at every intersection would be too costly. You can search for "Hammond, Indiana" on google maps, the tracks really do cross through a bunch of streets. You can see how constantly parked trains would be obnoxious and effectively cut the community in half:  Possibly relevant the school mentioned in the article is right beside a 10-lane highway.
