I think you missed the point.
OP thinks their life isn't impacted by politics. Other users are telling them their whole life is controlled by politics, and installing a dictator can have significant flow on effects on day to day life. They've already said they aren't well off, so economic turmoil can mean their father has to exit retirement, amongst other possibilities.
That, and it's so very conservative to only care when something affects oneself directly... (The OP, that is)
Keep the Harley.
This is a common discussion for folks who have decided on a Honda Rebel, but can't decide 300, 500, or 1100. 300 is no or very low highway riding, it can do it but it's not enjoyable. 500 is for some highway riding, still a bit light and you can feel windswept, but good economy. 1100 much more planted and powerful and very capable of long trips, but a lot more expensive.
Any particular reason you want to change? If it's just to ride a different style of bike, is it in your finances to get a used mt03 to putt around in, then sell once you've had your fun?
This was definitely on our short list. Ended up going for an adv as the e-clutch models aren't in Australia yet.
Just a matter of faster charging, takes me maybe 5-10 minutes to fill up and pay, would take a lot longer for an EV. Certainly not an issue if every accommodation had charging points, as I'd then be unlikely to need a full charge during the day.
And yes, for regular day to day driving I would just charge at home, as I'm fortunate to have a garage. Not the case for many folks, sadly.
Definitely great news, and it's looking good that my next car will be an EV.
Persona 5. I have p4 tracks also.
Seems to be a Europe thing, or really a rest of the world thing. It's very rare to smell cigarettes, particularly after vaping took off.
Haha I had to go digging.
So it is mentioned in an Australian page about the costs of Tobacco in Australia:
https://www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au/chapter-17-economics/17-2-the-costs-of-smoking#17.2.6
A report commissioned by the tobacco company Philip Morris, when the Czech government proposed raising cigarettes taxes in 1999, concluded that the effect of smoking on the public finance balance in the Czech Republic in 1999 was positive, an estimated net benefit of 5,815 million CZK (Czech koruny), or about US$298 million. 77 The analysis included taxes on tobacco, and health care and pension savings because of smokers’ premature death, as economic benefits of smoking, and these benefits exceeded the negative financial effects of smoking, such as increased health care costs. The report created a furore; public health advocates found the explicit assumption that premature death is beneficial morally repugnant. The controversy was described by the journalist Chana Joffe-Walt on the radio program This American Life,78 and was reported in the British Medical Journal.79 According to This American Life, Philip Morris distanced itself from the report in response to the controversy, banning its employees from citing the findings. In fact, the report’s claim that smoking was beneficial relies on its inclusion of taxes as a benefit, not any savings due to smokers’ premature deaths80 Costs associated with smoking while the smoker was still alive totalled 15,647 million CZK, 13 times more than the ‘benefits’ associated with early death. The net benefit reported in the analysis arose because the tobacco tax revenue of 20,269 million CZK was regarded as a benefit. As detailed in Section 17.1.1, taxes are not an economic cost (or benefit); they are a transfer payment. The recipient (the government) gets richer, while the taxpayer gets poorer.
So darkly amusingly it has actually been reported before, but in the Czech Republic.
The tax on cigarettes is so high, it's been claimed they pay more into the system than they claim out, as they die too soon. 🫣 (In Australia)
Depends on the language and the content itself. I'm hunting one where all the torrents are from 2012, so... Gave up, and buying the actual media. 😂
If you use the word fortnight, it's likely you aren't from North America.
Not if they don't catch it then and there.
Love how they claim limiting price gouging would have caused shortages... Why? How? What an unsupported claim.
