Doesn’t look too bad in this light, it’s the even daylight where the idea of it doesn’t show. I think it’s ugly but can look cool in certain light like this, the top section bright and the lower shadowed. Should have been a concept car cause of obvious reasons producing it at scale.
Part of me respects a design that can be so provocative. It shows how people care about design, and reminds me how boring and “nothing” a lot of the objects we interact with on a daily basis are.
Just the phrase “both sides” on it’s own can get this ridiculous charade going. Both sides are political parties in the US, both sides further America’s geopolitical interests, both sides are largely financed by corporate donors who donate to both parties, both sides are economically right wing, both sides engage and amp up the post-political partisan spectacle. “HEY THIS RUSSIAN TROLL SAID THE BAD WORDS!”
Oh look an American “adult in the room.” This is SERIOUS guise don’t even talk about Biden, you let him smell your hair and talk real solutions or you get Trump! And no dunks allowed if I see you dunking you’re a Russian troll!
The way I see it in America is any real left political representation was destroyed during the cold war and the liberals co-oped the language of the left while cleansing it of it’s economic ramifications. When you think of how many activists and organizers in the 60s were openly socialists vs today it tells a lot. MLK Jr. and Rosa Parks for instance are these liberal heroes but their significance as socialists is completely whitewashed, they’re “courageous individuals” now who “inspire,” not radicals who had a wholly different vision of American society.
Phil Ochs summarized a liberal as “ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally.”

I think the way energy markets work is pretty cool, where you have an independent regulatory entity that operates a market, with very strict control measures and compliance monitoring. That way you take advantage of market incentives but you still own it. China’s “hold on to the big, free the small” economic policy is interesting as well.
