So yeah, sorry for being pedantic but it’s just an old pre-bloating/size-maxing pickup truck being misconstrued as an SUV because its bed has a canopy.

Just to clarify, this is a Dodge Dakota Sport from the early naughts, it’s not lifted and is considered pretty small and low compared to the actual hazards we have rolling around currently.
Overall height is less than a Subaru Outback weight is in line with a current day Civic hatchback.

Inflammatory language is evolving to a point where it doesn’t mean anything and people keep reacting to the framing rather than the content. You see it with opinion makers all the time. There’s a few people I follow just to track narrative shaping. It’s all us vs them and they’re idiots I’m smart.

Conversely, I’ve been a dead lamp post nanny locally and after doing a mass report on a walk none of them got fixed, unlike the smaller instances.

But there's no purchase ban of any kind beyond networking equipment, so you can buy whatever you want online, be it Nothing, OnePlus or whatever Xiaomi you desire on marketplaces or directly from manufacturers.

Ended up going back to this out of curiosity.
The diversity of products has narrowed a lot for Android at a retail [carrier] level, but:
Nubia being ZTE
TCL being itself
Motorola being Lenovo
Most being fairly cost optimized models as I'm going to guess that carriers run marketing deals.

Oh on phones I’m totally forgetting a bunch of options. TCL/Motorola (Lenovo) to name a couple.

**The Fit’s global demand was so substantial that we were getting them from multiple factories, including China’s. The Model 3/Y were briefly Shanghai imports and there’s a few US-branded made there along with Volvos now.
It’s somewhat like the captive import era, if you remember Geos.

Do you mean a Chinese maker through a carrier? Because they’re definitely available here either way and the car thing you’ve been able to do since the Honda Fit iirc.

TBD on what their play is long term with other overseas factories, especially all the plants they’re building in Mexico and how that impacts the product mix here, nvm regulation homologation that dealer lobbies are pushing for. There’s demand for affordable product.

It’s a good policy play as far as balancing protecting the existing industry and opening the market.
Cap at 35k and under, which isn’t what our industry builds anymore and so reduces risk of manufacturing displacement while the volume cap addresses dumping.

There were good odds some product was going to make it north from their Mexican factories anyway, unless we have no post CUSMA game plan with Mexico.
The next becomes whether or not we accept European and/or Japanese standards for safety and whatnot.

Oh, rewatched the first and it kind of is, but the surface is looking slippery and the drop is amping the hazard.

I dunno how much of the fleet is equipped with ramps there and how difficult that’d be to integrate for storm boardings where warranted, the systems might not be designed for more intensive use either.
Should/n’t they be doing the drop in the cleared street instead of directly into the bank, too?

I honestly appreciate the attention you’re bringing to this problematic, and I’m not really sure what you’d propose to prevent this altogether short of sheltering stops or using SmartRider style ramps, as the logistical challenge around clearing every stop in time for service is substantial.

I also expect people to understand the impact of self-representation and lack of regulated terminology.
Definitions can be formal and informal, just as they can be localized or international.
And in this piece, it doesn’t denatures the conversation around the reliability of new-ish light systems.

I have a really difficult time with a transit nerd (however right he may be!) dunking on journalists with this as an example when this is how we’ve been talking about all of these systems in the public sphere for as long as we have, given we’re short of having regulated language around it.
