Europe needs to realize that it's on its own against Russia. The US will equivocate on every topic to aid Putin.

Toyota is behind everyone else on electric vehicles, so any politician that slows or stops EVs is a friend to Toyota.

Also, green policies favor the adoption of mass transit and other viable alternatives to driving, which is again a danger to Toyota's bottom line.

I'm in the last chapter of Sea of Stars. It's been decent. I like the pixel art, and the combat loops were challenging enough without being a grind. The plot for the first 2/3 of the game was fairly cutesy but bland. I'm basically grabbing the last few unlockable skills and items before going to the final boss, and I doubt I will try the post-finish addon content.

I like the books, played the first two games, but these days I have no interest in sitting at my desk (where I work) in my off hours - I like laying on the couch playing my Switch Lite.

As usual, carbrains on social media are complaining left and right. "Some ebikes are faster!"

 

Government policy and privatization of rail has reduced the quality of rail service. Meanwhile, government funds roads freely. Surprise, passenger vehicle numbers are growing.
