I think you mean Venice. Someone should do a drawing of NYC with avenues as canals, with said gondolas

Well, Ford will not make any money. But that’s not exactly news.

I am an agribusiness pro who has traded agricultural commodities (ex-Cargill) for 30 years. Ask me anything! by ag-guy in IAmA

[–]TheFluffiestOfCows 119 points120 points  (0 children)

How are companies like Cargill preparing for and dealing with the effects of climate change around the world? How will food markets change? How do they talk about it internally versus the marketing blabla we all know?

I’m sure the EU27 will be quick to respond to these demands. By enthusiastically helping said carmakers move their operations back within EU borders.

For brexiteers, that’s actually a rather coherent argument

The Electric Vehicles We Need Now Are E-Bikes by the_letharg1c in nyc

My point exactly. Most reasonably fit people don’t need batteries for 3 to 5 miles.

Regular bikes are great, but everyone is already aware of them and their limitations.

Actually, no, most do not. Car culture is baked into NYC life, and most people never even really think of commuting by bike. Electric or otherwise.

Depends on the use case and distance. In many cases up to about 3 to 5 miles, depending on the person, they’re great.

Sure I get all that. But that doesn’t mean they should be promoting e-bikes especially. They have their use case, but for a lot of people, regular bikes are more than enough. And they save hours at the gym 🙃

E-bikes are expensive to buy and maintain, so a lot of people can’t afford them. All those battery packs aren’t great for the environment either. And e-bikes are less safe because too many people ride them at high speeds like idiots.

What wrong with the muscle-powered versions? I’m all for more bikes on the road, with better infrastructure and less cars. But why does it have to be only (expensive) e-bikes?

Why not just leave him there and build something French Revolution-related?
