Economic models keep most numbers fixed to simplify their math. They call it ceteris paribus.

So when economists claim that increasing wages will reduce the amount of jobs, they came to that conclusion by keeping corporate profits fixed while doing their math. So any business expense is paid for by reducing workers or wages.

In the real world corporate profits are not fixed and have grown faster than wages for decades.

Keep that in mind if an economist ever tries to claim increasing wages will reduce the quantity of jobs.

That’s nice but it doesn’t change the facts:

The software that you are stating “gets bloated” is in all vehicles, not just EVs.

Combistion vehicles have more inputs and outputs to incorporate in the bloated software than EVs.

Right, the centralized control systems that get bloated with software are not unique to EVs. Like I said. And those centralized control systems have more inputs and outputs to interact with on an ICE than on an EV because an ICE has more components.

I’m not a hobbyist. I was a master automotive mechanic for over 20 years and I am now a software developer. I feel the need to say this because you are restating the same points I already address in a more verbose way as if you are hoping to make it sound too complicated for the average person to refute.

Right but both EVs and ICE vehicles have infotainment systems. ICE vehicles have more components that require software in addition to that.

ICE vehicles have more software because they have more components. They have a transmission control module and an engine control module both of which have a lot of sensors to read and outputs to control. Much more than a simple EV would have.

“The order requires state agencies to adopt policies modeled after a California Department of Transportation policy directive that “prioritizes removal of encampments that pose threats to life, health, and safety, while partnering with local governments and nonprofit providers to facilitate offers of shelter and supportive services in advance of removal.””

Look at the names saying Biden should drop out because of this. It’s the same people in every thread. It looks coordinated.

In my experience, the minimum student loan payments are less than the interest. So if you can only afford the minimum (or less than the interest) then the debt grows faster than you pay it off.
