its the petrol stations that'll do it. when EV sales reach a tipping point it won't be viable to keep them all open. they'll start closing. start closing petrol stations and you're shifting the range anxiety people currently have about EVs onto petrol cars.

thanks so much to the tons of people responding to this, but just to make it clearer, by "something else" I mean out of games entirely. maybe you're going back to school, maybe you're opening a business, whatever!

the causes of inflation have been shown again and again and again to have nothing to do with consumer spending and everything to do with essentials and outside factors. but the RBA keeps pulling the only lever they know how to pull. get rid of them.

"left" can be walking away or laid off, doesn't matter. full-time journalists/editors/writers having departed in the last 1-4 years is preferable, thanks!

If you live in the US and have been thinking of getting an EV this is an INCREDIBLE bargain. I know the brand is gone, but the 2 & 3 in particular share a lot of parts with their volvo sister cars

most talk on this has focused on the prem titles, but pulis' stoke and dean smiths villa picking up cup wins would be very funny not as funny as a watford side who were belted 6-0 in the final also getting one, though
