10 years at least.

The car they're describing is from the late 80s / 90s when "freeway speed" was just 55MPH (at least here in the United States). If car travel was forced to be any slower than that people would simply fly everywhere.
A common trip for me back then was 630 miles one way and at 55MPH it was 11 1/2 hours. If you lowered the speed just 5MPH it would take nearly 13 hours!
At that point I would have just gotten on a damn plane as 13 hours (likely longer with fuel stops) is simply too damned long.
Oh wow, that explains why so many of the new Audis look worse than they used to!
I would argue that it is already the case that cheap cars look and perform excellently, compared with cars produced fifty years ago.
50 years? Try 30 and even 20 could be argued.

Ah yes, the classic “lOOk aT tHE TOlEraNt LEfT” argument.
The person I was replying too didn't mention Left or Right and neither did I.
It’s a false equivalency.
Silencing your ideological opponents is ethically and morally inferior and I don't care what your supposed motivation is.
My ideological opponents are already silencing speech.
Uh huh. I can fire up Social Media and find endless content openly discussing the entire spectrum of Political,Cultural, and Economic beliefs. Nearly all of that is openly discussed on Mainstream Media as well. You aren't being silenced.
As long as fascists exist they must be silenced.
Define "fascist".
When they seize power, they will not do you the courtesy of allowing you to speak...
Which is precisely what you yourself are proposing. Congratulations, you are rubbing elbows with the very people you claim to despise.
If you do not tolerate dissent then you are ethically and morally inferior.
Censorship of speech is a powerful tool. Why, if you have the true conviction of your beliefs, would you fight with one hand behind your back?
Yes, but have you considered the outcome of everyone doing this?
Moreover, I’ve seen no evidence in my lifetime that letting my ideological opponents speak leads to positive results.
Mmmmm, yes. All ideological opponents should be silenced. This is clearly the way.
Seriously, if this is what you believe then you are clearly stating that you have no interest in a Free Society. You are literally placing yourself in the same group with every other Tyrant, Authoritarian, and Fascists who needs to be resisted.
Free Societies must tolerate dissent, it is a foundational requirement.
This kind of crap is driving popular creators, like Geerling, to move to other places. YT / Alphabet has lost the plot.
YT Premium has no ads. YT Lite does, just fewer of them (supposedly).
f the reason EE is shutting down due to lack of staff why would anyone go to a smaller one/one run by a single person?
Small instances can have far less drama and workload. Just because an instance isn't popular and has a small admin team doesn't mean it's in danger of folding up. 😀
You must have been too young in 2015. Redditors watched in amazement as "the switch" flipped from Bernie to Hillary in literal hours.
The DNC later admitted to spending millions of dollars on actual shills, employed by ActBlue, to "Correct the Record" on Hillary.
