lurch, in The Economy

I don’t think those hypes are proppin up any the economy. Basic needs, like food, do. Those hypes are like the furniture in top floor of that building.

Sure, that’s the real economy, but the way the west measures it is largely based on how the stock market is doing.

lurch,

I’m in the west and i don’t. I think we like to use GDP and Inflation. Those could be better, but they are not too bad. The stock market is mostly for gambling.

A lot of the mainstream economists in the west focus on the stock market, even of you don’t personally.

Meanwhile, GDP and inflation are not great measures either. GDP in particular is very problematic because it doesn’t measure productive labor. For example, health insurance industry is a large chunk of the GDP in US. It employs a lot of people while producing nothing for value for society

And the problem with inflation is with how it gets measured. For example, food and housing prices are growing far faster than the official inflation numbers.

What about just not using cars?

explodicle,

Someone creating a specific community doesn’t add rules to existing general communities. You should start an apolitical memes community!

Facebones,

What? Using lemmy as intended and finding a community that fits my needs or starting my own?!

Then how will I inflict my will on all the people in existing communities as is my real intent?!

This is exactly how they see it, and don’t think there’s anything wrong with either case

Klystron, in It's coming.

It’s, “Objects in mirror MAY be closer than they appear,” dammit!

I’m not crazy, you’re crazy!

bastian_5,

Actually some do say are. My dad’s rear view mirror says are.

hottari, in The Economy

The economy has never been stronger. If you don’t count the few tech & crypto focused banks that collapsed early in the year.

Ranger, in Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one

Economical retrofit kits for legacy vehicles would help reduce manufacturing pollution & reduce vehicle emissions, if carbine free electricity production is increased.

CADmonkey,

Ford and GM both sell electric “crate motors” for classic cars to switch them over to electric.

Cort,

Not direct to consumer though. You’d have to go to a specialty shop and pay them for labor and whatever markup they think the market can bear. Point being, it’s not really economical to do on a large scale.

The problem is it’s fundamentally changing the source of energy in a car. Even if you ripped out the motor and replaced it with an electric motor and battery Bank there would still be a whole fundamental sleuth of systems that would be missing inside the car. I think I better solution might be to look into converting cars to hydrogen instead.

Also feel free to ignore anything I just said I’m not no automotive engineer, just a nerd who used to tinker with cars when he was younger 😅

MrSqueezles,

Yeah, that’s the real problem. I wish hydrogen helped. Fuel cells and hydrogen are another way to store and release electricity, like batteries. Switching a car from gas to battery is a tricky proposition. Since they require more components to achieve the same result, delivering electricity to an electric motor, fuel cells would compound that problem.

Malfeasant,

Hydrogen is not an energy source, it is a means of energy storage, and a pretty bad one at that.

Cort,

Also, it’s primarily made using methane steam reformation, which releases co2.

If you want to go that route I think you should look more towards bikes and less towards cars.

hottari, in Vaccine research vs. anti-vax research

The tags should be switched for the images. Vaccine scientists let us all down. Don’t think I’ll ever trust vaccines ever again.

Moderating a subreddit is a choice, not a personal characteristic. Attempting to dilute the meaning of the word by pretending that criticism of moderators is “bigotry” is itself abusive reactionary rhetoric.
