“President #Trump & #ElonMusk are pushing their dangerous political agenda, stripping #health care access from people nationwide, & not giving a second thought to the devastation they will cause,” Johnson said in a stmnt.

Federally funded programs such as #TitleX are crucial in providing access to #affordable #ReproductiveHealthcare, said Kelly Baden, VP for public policy at the Guttmacher Institute, which supports #AbortionRights.

@flexion Yeah....

As for #prototyping the general dimensions and look, #filament is also way cheaper so one can iron-out the design then test-print segments in a smol resin before getting in touch with a fabricator to deal with it.

I do however doubt that #resin #3Dprinters in that size will ever become "#affordable" as in *you can expect a local machine shop to have one next to the #CNC mill and #lasercutter...

Even the #Creality #CR10S5 is a hard sell despite being just an oversized #filament printer that'll slowly sqeeze out "fancy hot glue" at it's end.

@gary_alderson TBH, #nvidia doesn't care about #Gamers nor #Professionals, otherwise they'd make #affordable cards that ain't garbage!

Same.goes for #AMD, abeit they ain't that extreme (yet)!

@pandora_parrot After all, #ElectricCars were one of the first built, but they quickly died out once due to the inefficiency and lack of range inherent in lead oxide + sulphuric acid cells...

Add to the fact that car manufacturers basically gave up on making #affordable cars or god forbid scooters and we see the #Enshittification pushing only luxury vehicles with metric trons of bloat...

Like I know only 1 (!!!) 15kW electric scooter that comes with a #CCS2 charging connector (mandatory in the #EU) and that's the #BMW #CE04 which is solid 5 digits in terms of pricing and at that price point I could buy up to 2 #Aixam Minauto or Opel Rocks or almost 3 Cabin Scooters or 4 (used!) Corsa D 3-door compact hatchbacks with the 3 cylinder 1l GM ECOTEC engine...

@fuck_cars_bot propably because of 3 things:

#India has working #PublicTransport - it's not good, it's overcrowded but still better than that of the #USA, and it consists of both official operators and an unknown number of informal providers ranging from someone on a 50cm³ #scooter to #taxi and #bus operators.
Most people can't afford a #car at all - like 1920s Germany people may at most afford a motorcycle or a scooter for the entire family. Even the #TataNano was still expensive even at the promo price of INR 100.000 .
Lack of personal #vehicle #ownership makes it easy for operators of taxi and bus services to turn a profit. Plus people are less wary about offering people a ride for the cost of fuel and some tips and even in rural areas there is at least some irregular & informal service that gets people somehow connected.

As for China, UAE, Israel and many others, either excellent public transport or paywalling keeps car ownership low.

The lack of #accessible and #affordable #PublicTransport is why in the #UnitedStatesOfCars it's basically unheard of that people (outside the densest city centers) don't own a car , to the point that people face #discrimination in #JobSearch for nor having a #car (even tho they have a drivng license)...
