Too much local control gives too much power to NIMBYs that constantly stop any and all housing developments.

New Zealand managed to lower rent prices by removing zoning control from local governments.

Marketing. It is very effective.

Has anyone been to any kind of convention for nerdy things. Nerds are so captured by the marketing and products being sold that they let it take over their personality and they can’t stop buying junk.

Thiel would 100% agree with and help blackpilleds because their goal would accelerate his own goal even if they don’t have the same ideology.

#4 definitely sounds political. Sounds like it would align with Peter Thiel’s ideology perfectly and he’s running the GOP at the moment with all the other oligarchs.

A hydrogen car is a terrible idea.

Hydrogen is expensive to make and transport. So many electrical losses plus it would need more trucks on the road to deliver it to fueling stations.

It leaks extremely easily.

As of now, it requires platinum as a catalyst which is one of the most rare metals on earth.

Battery tech is changing every year. Sodium batteries should be right around the corner which the manufacturer claims will cost a lot less and be much less dangerous.
