More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.

I appreciate the clarification.
We’ll do the best we can against an extremely well funded and entrenched oligarchy, controlling what we read/see/hear as effectively as possible. Places like Lemmy are sort of a weakness in their systems.
We Americans also have ourselves to look at, as animals it is hard to invite change when our basic needs are mostly met, e.g. our toilets work and we can buy food. We can do better, but it’s a bit like climbing the walls of the maze vs running around within.
Again, I don’t blame the general populace. What you say of “Americans have ourselves to look at”, it’s not that easy. These things don’t happen in a vacuum, the context of Americans and Europeans (and Canadians and Aussies and even Russians) not looking inwards and realising imperialism, isn’t a consequence of lack of self-awareness that these countries have and the rest don’t. It’s just a consequence of the system we happen to live in, which propagandizes certain points of view, talking points, and controls media to serve the interests of capital. It’s hardly useful IMO to blame the majority for issues that could be solved “simply” by changing the ownership structure of media outlets, for example.
Group buy-in is generally a foundational requirement for future changes…
Idk what you mean by “group buy-in”, sorry, maybe it’s an idiom I’m not picking, I’m not a native speaker.
If you mean that people generally should believe in the change for the change to happen, then yes, I agree that’s a great starting point. That’s why we leftists organise, and try to create resilient communities that care for those around us, in order to make people have better lives and be more aware of the oppression they’re suffering, and when the material conditions are appropriate, to be there.
Sorry about that. You correctly guessed the right meaning of the word.
Let’s keep moving, we’ll all do better so long as we can ignore the people trying to slow us down. Best of luck to you in your corner of the world.
