Insurance premium hikes

[Big Ears]

I'm not sure how true this is but knowing insurance companies I'd not doubt it.

The Telegraph. Interpreted by an EV hater.

I also made the mistake of watching the first 3 minutes and then compounding it by reading some of the comments added by my fellow humans. Maybe Charles Darwin got it wrong and the evolutionary trend is tilted towards stupidity and compliance in quick, easy, semi - plausible answers.
Yet again, I despair!

We have already turned that corner according to the film Idiocracy. A good watch


As the twenty-first century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But, as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.

I'm in a bit of a rush....So...ah...the video.

YAWN.

I try very hard not to waste what oxygen or time I have left, watching these SanctimoniousTwonks trying to big themselves up, and garner subscibers, spouting shite, any of could find and read if we were bothered.

What will be will be.
Life's too short etc etc.

Just for Clarity I didn't watch the video for very long as I find that stuff BOORING, I only posted it as I thought it was interesting if true, I don't have an EV I'm told .

That's because EV is the generally-accepted term for Battery Electric Vehicle ... you have a Hybrid Electric Vehicle.

Ding! Ding!

Round Two.

Edit: Well I thought it was funny!

Good point Sir

However it was imposed on me to not go fully EV due to where I park it, but I have been accused of being anti EV the evidence of such is based on me not buying one

I think we made the right choice on type though for convenience for us, we just picked the wrong make.

I put you on ignore a few weeks ago, so why am I seeing this post? I now have no option to do it again so there is an issue there.

I think the forum software doesn't allow a member to ignore a moderator. Sorry.

 

[Big Ears]

It did until very recently as today is the first time I have seen any post from you, I feel this is a backward move I & anyone else should be able to ignore any member regardless of their forum priveledges.

A mod as can anyone else always PM me as I have just said to your colleague.

I've been meaning to watch this for several months but have not managed it yet, thanks for the reminder. I'll try to re-double my efforts.

It just strikes so true to some of todays society, especially the intro.
