But he COMPLETED the law! Which means I can ignore all the old law that I find inconvenient. But he didn’t REPLACE the law, which means I can still criticize anything I think is yucky.
The new standards require American automakers to increase fuel economy so that, across their product lines, their passenger vehicles would average 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles today. The average mileage for light trucks, including pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, would have to reach 45 miles per...
I think you’re wrong about the averaging rules… This appears to be an update to the CAFE targets which average based on unit quantity across all cars and all light trucks you manufacture. You can’t manufacture 10 one-off “hypermiler” sku’s to offset your millions of cars.
That said, CAFE is still a worthless law that has ruined the American automobile market in more ways than one, and this policy update will likely do almost nothing to improve emissions.
I think that would leave too many loopholes open. I think the most effective path would be to:
Schedule a progressive increase in fuel prices: End subsidies on fossil fuels Implement a tax that reflects the environmental damage caused by fossil fuel use. Add on a tax that provides remediation of historical fossil fuel damages.
Take that schedule, add it to the purchase and maintenance costs of a vehicle, and require reporting this total cost of ownership as the most prominent figure in all advertising.

B.3. Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus (e.g., strong attachment to or preoccupation with unusual objects, excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests).
Excel is a highly structured environment that follows strict rules and procedures to generate outcomes, often sorting and making sense of “messy” inputs. Prime candidate for an ASD hobby/obsession.

The most generic strategy is “do what you can do better than them and their natural predators.” In virtually any situation, that’s going to be tool use. You may be entering without a weapon, but sticks, stones, sand, doors, trash cans, the clothes on your back or anything you can get your hands on can put you at an advantage. You’d have to be in a pretty sterile arena to truly have nothing available.
If you’re particularly fit, you may be able to best most animals in a test of endurance: do everything to delay the clash and keep them moving, and they’ll grow hot and exhausted faster than you will.
Fuck that, instead of making them increase their imaginary “up to” numbers, make them advertise contractually guaranteed minimums. Id rather have a 25 mb minimum over a 100 mb maximum that usually sits around 8 mb.
Bread’s numbers appear to be for veinous air embolism. A much smaller embolism can kill you in other areas… 2 cc in cerebral, 0.5 cc in the coronary artery.
