If Russia drops a bomb, then NATO immediately deploys conventional bombs with their own air force on all Russian forces in Ukraine, and China/India both sanction Russia (which basically means the whole world is sanctioning Russia, since nobody will want to piss off the USA and EU and China and India - even NK might sanction Russia).

In other words, if Moscow drops a nuke then their military and their economy both disintegrate.

The cheapest EV here in W-EUR is still 30ish K, and government subsidies are ending this year.

China has $5k EVs, it's not a technical problem causing EVs to all be expensive.

likely economic deregulation

Friendly reminder that putting businesses in charge of regulation doesn't result in deregulation, it results in different regulation - removing what hurts them and adding what helps them (protectionism, barriers to entry to hurt small fry, etc).

Oh absolutely, it's asinine. But it does avoid Pokemon Red as prior art.

IMO, electric motorbikes don't make any sense - they're not for cities, and they're not for road-tripping because their range stinks. They're an insistence on round-peg in a square hole; they're a mechanical horse.

What we need is tiny one-person electric cars - the limit on range at highway speeds is aerodynamics, and motorbikes just aren't as aerodynamic as putting the human inside a shell.

"In a 3D space" rules out Pokemon Red. Still bullshit, though.

Australians don't tip, and Canadians are just Americans with a French accent.

Just like groceries don’t include tax in the advertised price.

Nah, that's just in America, because Americans are dumb. Tipping doesn't exist here BTW, because it's idiotic and why would we do that.

(if Americans aren't dumb, why did they vote for Trump twice?)

(I finally found an upside to the Trump presidency!)

I think tanks would be their best bet - mounted machine guns and can carry lots of ammo, and if they're surrounded and about to be overrrun then they can just drive away - through the zombies. It's a tank, it has torque up the wazoo.

Actually, no, barbed wire would be their best bet - the blade doesn't have to move if the zombies slice themselves apart on it.

In practice, just use both!

I'm not saying that Elon Musk deserves his wealth, I'm saying the premise of the meme is nonsense.
