    So I spent some time looking into this wage increase stuff and I did find this fun chart with inflation adjusted wages growing 2% in the last 5 years, that’s pretty paltry compared to the corporate profit increases. I’d bet that power imbalance is a large factor in consumer sentiment falling against otherwise good looking economic data.

    By that logic we should only read last months data and forget the rest of history, but in reality people have memories and incorporate previous experience in their sentiment.

    12 months is a poor timeframe to use for inflation when the most relevant data to consumers today is 2021-2022, and again fuel is required to function in the US which I don’t see in CPI making it a poor indicator for real finances. Really though my point is metrics can be manipulated to sound good or bad but ignoring consumer sentiment is foolish for a politician seeking to be elected by those consumers.

    No citations and more outlandish claims. So I’ll put a little math here. From the first google results aluminum scraps around $0.44/lb and a smaller engine block is about 300lb which comes out to $132, not including heads manifolds, pistons etc.

    Ok I understand better what you’re trying to do, this is a pretty basic trig problem there are a ton of triangle calculators out there that will give you a good idea of the lengths you want. This site even has some explanations of how sine and cosine can be used to find missing sides and angles. Also just a note, any triangle can be split to create 2 right angle triangles, it’s not the ideal way to solve these problems but can help simplify some concepts to make things easier to understand.

    It’s a triangle, why not just use Pythagorean theorem? I don’t know if you can get the full 90 degree rotation from a liner actuator like that but it could get pretty close as long as A and B are long in relation to c’s minimum distance.

    There’s no incentive for US automakers to build cheaper EVs from this. This is just protectionism which is fine when China is subsidizing their production past the point of profitability, but this will still work against making American EVs more affordable.
