I kinda figured as much as soon as I posted. D'oh.

When I was seventeen, I drank some very good beer…

Hyundai/Kia are doing a damned good job so far, I think. Of course, drop any tariffs and the Chinese will eat Tesla's lunch before they can do anything.

No.

To the best of my knowledge, the Arrow (any of them) are only showcases for Canadian automotive and EV tech. They are not looking to start a car company, or fully develop the vehicle, it's only there to get more businesses to set up shop in Canada to use our auto/EV talent and research.

DAMMIT, you got me. You got me good.

I read a short story with a very similar theme, could have been that book.

Closest I've read is Lord of the Flies.

No gills for me, sadly.

Fair. A boat anchored at a Pacific Island, while they exist.

Maybe I'll dock at the Pacific garbage patch and distill my fuel from microplastics.

Depends, are we riding out the rise of fascism or riding out WWIII? Those are two highly different scenarios.

Either way, a Pacific island sounds nice.

And once we have proportional representation they'll have my vote. But I'm not risking letting PP get anywhere near a majority.

If (and that is a huuuuuge "if") the US invades, I'm going to go all Ukranian on their ass and drone them, or something similar. Low tech cheap pot shots at them. Maybe take some lessons from Afghanistan while we're at it.
