thanks to a 24% jump in the United Kingdom
And you know why that is? It's incredibly tax advantageous for small business owners to buy EVs as they can be entirely deducted against company profits and attract extremely low "benefit in kind" taxes and vehicle excise duties. These things are either being slowly wound back or there's a fear the new Labour government might yank out the tablecloth so now is a particularly good time to buy especially with the higher corporation tax rate. I assure you, though, that if it becomes no more financially advantageous to have an EV, I'm back in the gas guzzler :-)

It's not racist/sexist/antisemitic/whatever to simply want to not have political protest shoved into every domain of life.
Unfortunately, the lunatics have taken over the asylum and now apparently "silence is violence".

Attached to: YouTube Suspends Trump's Channel For At Least 7 Days
> Trump is completely free to set up his own Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Facebook and everything else he got removed from and hook it up to the internet.
That's true, but it only shifts the problem upstream.
People will go after whatever 3rd party service providers his site uses - DNS, hosting, payment processing, etc. And if those service providers don't bend the knee, people will go after their upstream providers. We know this will happen because it has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen. Even Visa, Mastercard, and banks have bent the knee.
It's simply not feasible to "build your own" site unless you own and control all of the technology infrastructure up to the backbone as well as all the payment infrastructure up to the bank, and even then people will try to get other technology and banking infrastructure to not interact with yours.
You can build your own printing press, paper, and ink, and hire your own delivery boys. But the nature of the internet requires networking, and if all of your peers have been incentivized not to do business with you then you're not gonna have much of a website.

Sure. Lets have Congress allow Chinese spyware to spread. And you guys wonder why Trump got elected.

What is a "fifty-center"? You guys have labels for everything? And yes, I don't read Orange Man Bad comments. I mean, we get it already: Trump is the worst thing ever. You can just type "Orange Man Bad" from now on.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks Reddit matters at all is a fucking idiot. A website got hacked.

It ticks all the boxes for the Marxists: free and someone else does the work of maintaining the infrastructure so they can bitch about it.

Every TikTok user knows that TikTok might get shut down. Many TikTok professional "creators" are already leaving the platform.

Don't worry about it. It will be dead and replaced by something else in a few months.
Yeah I'll bet Facebook comes out with their own version.
