Used cars last far longer today than ones 50 years ago.
Cars used to require major service before 50,000 miles. Now there are many cars that can run 150,000 miles with just gasoline, oil changes, tires, and brake pads.
FAR more reliable and FAR longer lasting than they used to be.
Even in my lifetime (I'm only 31), tires get far fewer flats than they used to, for example.
If this wasn't the <#322712586741088256> channel, I'd transition into urbanization too. Because that's another phenomenon and result of technological progress that brings a lot of good to the world, but jews have manipulated things so as to also bring a large amount of bad.
Absent jew influence, technological progress always brings bad with the good, but it brings far more good than bad.
I'm having a hard time saucing my claims, but I have a hard time believing that all the proprietary tech involved with self driving vehicles will make car ownership cheaper
I'm not saying it won't be a net positive, I'm saying I'm worried about some of the specifics
I should probably mention I have skin in the game. I just learned how to drive truck a couple of months ago.
I don't think your average farmer will be able to afford that tech, or that it will make economic sense for him to
@Der Seeteufel - SD You already participate in one of the most highly automatized industries.
Even just a few decades ago, double-digit percentages of america were farmers and now it's below 2%
You have enormous machines that displace the work of ~~dozens~~ hundreds of men
Some machines that drive themselves already
All new 18 wheelers are now automatic transmission. Guys who trained to drive stick now have a depreciated skillset. So did VCR repairmen. We're all okay and better off for it.
The iPhone put the Walkman out of work, the Palm Pilot out of work, the Kodak camera out of work, the Garmin GPS out of work, the pay phone out of work (I still have a calling card), the GameBoy out of work ... and we're all better for it.
I used to have one of each of those and thought to myself, "I can't wait until I can have all of these in one device"
The guy who told me about Identity Evropa and got me to join? He's a very young man who was red-pilled by listening to podcasts on his iPhone while mowing his dad's lawn. iPhones and podcasts didn't even EXIST when I was mowing my dad's lawn. I had to wait like 18 extra years to get red-pilled compared to him.
@Tanner - SC I get what you're saying and to be honest I'm not that worried about being displaced. I used to operate nuclear reactors and have an IQ in the 130 range. I farm because I love it. Not everyone is so lucky though.
Also I do only make $13 an hour farming. If I didn't have secondary sources of income farming would represent a pretty substantial reduction in my standard of living.
I just want to push back against the idea the disruption is bad. It's change, it's different, it's unknown, it might have short-term pain, but there is a lot of medium-term gain, including those lower IQ people.
Also, "If your IQ is 120 or higher, birth control should be illegal for you" - Richard Spencer
I love that quote and I keep in mind that it's a bit of our duty as high IQ guys to have high birth rates.
@Der Seeteufel - SD your lack of a decent wage has more to do with immigration than innovation
#JustNon-WhiteThings
how...?
Cuz racism.
So I’m changing the compressor on a car today and every single piece of plastic a hose was attached to was brittle and broke. So a 1-2 hour job turned into waiting for JB weld to set overnight.
I'd almost say just replace all the hoses.
It’s the plastic fittings for the hoses!
They are all brittle from heat the hoses are fine
I replaced the fittings and jb welded them in place and it held up in a pressure test
Fixing the school buses in my town
Brakes mostly tbh
Also this old piece of junk
The new starter isn’t meeting the fly wheel any ideas why?
It’s got the right clearance but it won’t meet it
