Did you know that it is possible to produce a podcast for podcatchers? Something that’s made to be listened to, not just made to interrupt with ads every five seconds on YouTube? There are some great ones available that prioritize sound quality and making sense without the visuals.
US is being left behind when it comes to EVs thanks to government policies that discourage buyers from buying them. Ford has already said Chinese EV makers would leave them struggling . US is now dumping ground for inefficient, internal combustion vehicles while the rest of the world surges on regarding EV vehicles.
Great cast held back by old school management. I’ll miss yall
