The horse thing is even worse when you realise Musk was trying to offload the horses because they had relatively little value and it was costing him more to keep the horse than it was worth. He smushed a bunch of ranches together and he purchased a few of them lock, stock and barrel to get the deal done, this included some low value horses that he would have been stuck with costing him money.
How many times can he be retried for the same crime if the Jury does that? As I fully expect Trump to demand the DOJ keep doing it as many times as they can
You could get a provisional (learner) license and not bother learning to drive, doesn’t seem to be a popular choice despite I te it being £14 for ten years
Thats because they are without fail massive grifts ran by the IT firms.
UK already has an ID system that about half of all adults already own that is fully integrated and trusted by the police and other services, the driving license. It even operates at a profit.
It would be pretty damn cheap in comparison to implementing a new system to just require everybody who doesn’t have the driving license to get a special one thats a different colour and confers no driving privileges.
Of course that would be too simple and wouldn’t allow scum to skim huge sums of money so here we are…
Obviously I don’t actually want a mandatory ID but if we getting one then might as well make it cheap and already mostly implemented.
Cars have also gotten much bigger, generally speaking more reliable, and stuffed with extra technology, some of which makes the car safer than before. Little of that technology is really optional now in the EU but still adds to the price.
A cirrent polo is the same size as a mark two golf, a three series is same size as an old face series. Most could downsize and not notice.
New cars are purchased on the monthly cost than anything else where I am, with a balloon for the final payment. Manufacturers make money again on the same car at the second sale but can only do so if they protect the resale price, which means ever increasing sales prices.
