Then the capitalist should only be entitled to recuperate their initial investment + whatever personal effort they put in.

How can it be the capitalist captures profit many years after those first two occurred?

I’d recommend posting a tangentially political meme at some point on Lemmy.

The amount of people who will come out of the woodwork to tell you ‘don’t post this’ and ‘don’t make things political’ will really be eye opening.

People don’t want to address systemic issues and think not talking about them is a viable solution.

My dude. The capitalists are not the people who made those devices. Workers made those things.

Oh I’m reasonably confident if we got rid of cars that’d be a good thing for the climate.

If there was plentiful mass transit the need for electric cars is reduced greatly.

Cars are terrible forms of mass transport and societies need to deprioritise them in city planning.

The idea that we can just keep doing what we’re doing and replace all ICEs with BEVs and it’ll solve climate change is not really the full story.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll go back to my mouth breathing.

The bicycle is one of humans greatest achievements.

It’s to be expected I suppose.

Too many people think upgrading their car to electric is ‘doing their part’ but when they are replacing a vehicle less than 5 years old with an electric car they also intend to replace within 5 years, they haven’t helped anything.

Also people don’t want to feel like the action they took is actually unhelpful.

They like greenwashing and want to feel good about their choices. Applying critical analysis to a complex problem like climate change is hard compared to buying a Tesla.

Which ones?

I found this analysis quite interesting:

It really depends on the new model of car you choose to replace your outgoing one.

This was the website that I have been thinking of:

You can see some electric cars are far worse than a hybrid as an example.

No I don’t.

In that context private transport meant cars.

The fact that the implementation of public transport is poor is not a criticism of public transport.

I disagree strongly about the US not being suitable for public transport.

There are large cities that could introduce effective metro services and that would be a vast improvement.

Rural areas can remain ICE/BEV.

I stand by what I said.

We should have less private transport regardless of if it’s electric or ICE.

Arguably action on climate change warrants a significant reduction in car use generally to stop our extinction.

Sounds like a lot of assumptions on your part about what I think.

Yeah. America isn’t the world.

Plenty of countries have functioning public transport.

America is not the exception, you can survive without cars.
