I'm not trying to pick on Harris specifically here. It's just a perfect example of politicians being asked direct yes or no questions, and them giving paragraph long responses that don't actually answer the question.

Do you believe that climate change is largely driven by human activity, including the burning of fossil fuels? If not, is there a different cause you would cite?

Didn't say yes.

Do you believe climate change is making disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires and heat waves more intense?

Almost said yes.

Should climate change be addressed through government action or market forces?

Practically a yes. I award a half credit.

Do you support clean-energy tax credits such as those for electric vehicles?

Again half credit. Not an actual yes.

Biological sex isn't defined by beards or breasts.
It's defined by the reproductive roll of an animals gametes. They apply through all sexualy reproducing species on earth.

You can't in one place, say sex and gender are unrelated; Then another place use them as synonyms.

I'm all in favor of trans rights. And I believe seperating sex and gender is great! But it needs to be consistent. This inconsistent selective misuse of terms is infuriating. And I think it's a big part of the hangups otherwise liberal people have with this movement.

For a narrow definition of law that may be the case.
But it could also be thought of as a set of laws, which specifically govern law-makers.

In this case it's making certain pre-existing statutes illegal, effectively nullifying them.
Why this judge thinks those statues need to be specifically mentioned, I don't understand. As a judge you'd think that would be their job.

That is what we have now. Mostly.
The current vehicle taxes are never close to covering the costs of road maintenance.

I'm not sure I understand why they don't.

I thought bringing chiplets to GPUs, meant they'd be able just add as many CUs and cash dies as they needed to get on top. Even if it's $3.5k and 1000W, they should be able to. They could sell 100K units as some limited edition special thing, and pull mind share away from nVidia by having the undisputed top card.

But they don't. Which is why I think they undervalue having a halo product. They don't think it'll push units further down the product stack. I think they're clearly wrong about that. People buy cards that fit their budgets. But they buy brands they know to be the best.

I think they underestimate the marketing value of a halo product.
That, or it's just spin to account for the fact that they don't have one.

Roads aren't built to last forever. They all need maintenance. Semis cause more wear and damage on all roads, requiring more repairs. So yes, if that cost isn't already baked into the cost of trucking everything, it only makes sense to start doing so.

The other option, is to give up on the idea of vehicles paying for roads. We could just use general tax money from everyone, as everyone benefits from quality roads. That would also be logically consistent.

No. No exclusions.
It doesn't matter if they serve a purpose; All the damage they still do still happens, and needs to be accounted for. Rolling it into the cost of the purpose is fair.

Some will even if they do understand the math.

Becides that's an argument against all laws.
The people who a law is bad for, will always hate and fight it.

Sounds reasonable.
That'll work to make them less popular.

When I lived in the rural northeast, driving was fun. The bendy roads with low traffic were a blast to drive.
Now that I live in a southwest city, not so much. It's merely the least inconvenient way to get anywhere.

You're conflating two separate things.
It's not 1:75, of all living people, for that year.
It's 1:75 of people who die in the US, are killed by cars.
In any given year, if 40K die from cars, 3M people will have died some other way, that year.
