  • the blank cheques being handed out wastefully

    What blank cheques exactly?

    And I’m not sure how you do it down in oz, but in most other countries, the government creates budgets for each agency, and those agencies then decide how to allocate their funds. If the government thinks that some agency is wasting too much money, they reduce their budget. There’s not supposed to be a king who decides all that on a whim.

    And how many “blank cheques” to the defense industry have been investigated? Surprise, because it’s not about cutting “wasteful spending”.

    Electrical work in Sweden shall be done by an electrician as well, but we just have the plug on the ceiling, so it’s not as ugly (the base of the hanging lamp hides it).

    Norway has so many inane rules. If they didn’t have oil, their country would have shut down decades ago.






  • But I’ll lose so much money needing to refill the blinker fluid! :P Seems like it’s not produced anymore though. Maybe I’ll test-drive the i4, though it’s a different class than the i3…

    I’ve only tried Model 3 and Y out of the Tesla line, but yeah, I’d pick something else if I wanted a “city car” here in Europe. I’m spoiled, so it feels nice having a “police car” as my daily driver, especially when the price classes here are so comparable. Even the brands that are usually much cheaper when picking an ICE car, are barely cheaper than the more luxurious EV models. (And the used market here is awful, thanks in part to how weak SEK is – most just get exported to the rest of Europe)
