Can you name 3 ways is positively impacted the average non tech persons life in a meaningful way? Meaningful would be more than the invention of the microwave, but not as important as a vaccine.

I thought the actual finished Jag turned out pretty cool. Nice to see a gt that takes design risks. Looking forward to seeing one on the road.

I can’t wait for the equal coal reckoning. What is it 20k direct deaths a year? 2 million early deaths? The Great Barrier Reef 100% dead after this El Niño. A deliberate cover up of the science?

This is completely false information. There’s a clear difference between (tactical still shots of) general waving at an angle you’re referring to and the intentional nazi salutes.
