  • In capitalism as a whole economic mobility is not very prevalent. If you are born poor you generally have a worse education, worse nutrition, worse job prospects, etc

    If you are born rich it is orders of magnitude easier to end up in a high paying career since you have a financial support system

    The idea here would be to make sure everyone is given the same tools to succeed and the same options. For example anyone who can pass their could go to med school vs only people who can afford to go without a livable income for 13 years while working 60-100 hours weeks

    Then you reward people who choose to do things others don’t want to do which is the compromise

    You can have that as home as well where the person who cleans the bathroom gets an extra cookie after dinner

    This is in huge contrast to capitalism where the owner of the house gets the entire box of cookies and is benevolent enough to spare a pittance of food in exchange for the bathroom being cleaned

    Everyone would have their basic needs met, and nobody would have 10,000x what other people have


  • They are claiming a weight of 400Wh/kg so the extra weight should be at least another 70lbs if it didn’t require any extra bracing which it probably does that while it may not be a lot for a 3000lb car it is sizeable for a 400lb bike

    it’s a lot worse than other EV makers misleading claims, because 12mph is literally a joke of a speed to test at considering that’s slower than a cyclist on a non motorized bike and it is not even considering a fast speed to run at.

    A still misleading but at least defendable claim would be if they did one at 25mph and called that their city range but 12mph is just an insulting claim
