Gucci car, anyone? Autocar's 'alternative' predictions for 2026 | Autocar
The future is an uncertain place without the annual Autocar Almanac. We guarantee all this will happen...
James Attwood is very humorous. F1 with Group B Cars what’s not to like.
Take rate manual transmission.
I think it’s surprisingly high in the USA.

We laugh, but this is what true machine learning looks like. While the rest of the world is hanging on an orange magalomaniac's rhetoric of western domination, these little robot f#ckers are learning from their mistakes. I must say, though, the first vid looks suspiciously doctored.

So much of what was televised from Davos was excruciatingly embarrassing. IMHO, Canadian PM Carney's address was the absolute highlight. And one of the very, very few. We are living in grotesquely bizarre times. But alas, it is what it is.
Amsterdam bans fossil-fuel and meat advertising in public spaces

Churchill-like urgency.

My city (The Hague) already has that and was the first in the world.

The US is utterly and irreparbly f#cked.
100 years of diplomacy and quite frankly world domination down the drain because of one orange baboon.The history books are going to be filled with this stuff.
I really loved this vid here. Just an average normal American reacting to the Carney speech. Definitely worth a watch:

This is nuts.
I look at it this way:
If this can somehow contribute to folks buying and ingesting far less (if any at all) industrially produced, generously additive laced, transfat and sugar rich processed "meat-similar" garbage, then...why not ? That crap is immensely unhealthy and also leads to a drainage of state healthcare capacities and resources. I readily admit to being quite a "Nutrition Nazi" on these issues.
As far as the fossil fuel issue is concerned... My sympathies and empathy for so-called "Big Oil" has it's limitations. But at least they are not totally averse to diversification, which is quite alright.
Frankly, this stuff does not require advertisement. Many people will continue to eat crap, many people will continue to visit petrol/diesel stations, heat with gas, purchase consumer goods made from synthetics and plastics, consume pharmaceuticals, etc. The former out of poor habit, the latter simply out of current sheer necessity.

Absolutely crazy
Why?
The Question is always where does it stop, next is probably Gouda cheese or Milk( you need Cows who are destroying the climate with the methane gas they produce), Bananas ( because you need fossils to import them) and so on.
Therefore I am against any bans regarding advertisements.
I think it's the opposite and refers to natural meat, which is why I think it's stupid.
Going from banning advertising to banning consumption is sometimes only a matter of years.
They love banning things over there, but marijuana is legal.
