I think Milei was let in to try and drive Argentina away from China and towards the US/Western system

But in general I think massive cuts are more effective than small cuts. Small cuts provide a tiny benefit to everyone while the losers feel them intensely and fight viciously to keep their privilege. Massive cuts (can) provide large enough benefits to the general public to get them involved/passionate, while some of the losers may get enough benefit from the cuts to be net better off (although each would prefer everyone else gets the cuts and he alone keeps his special privilege)

"As the electrical demand goes up, the alternator puts an increased load on the belt, and therefore the engine, to make that juice."

"If the engine is spinning the alternator is spinning and producing power. This is regulated by a voltage regulator that will raise or lower the output voltage to either charge or maintain the charge level (float charge) in the battery.

So an alternator cant be turned off directly as it has a direct belt connection to the engine. However you can turn off the resistance of the alternator and have it freely spin by the regulator setting a voltage slightly lower than the battery."

The alternator resists spinning (otherwise you'd have free infinite energy)

so some of the fuel that could have been spent spinning the tires is instead spent spinning the alternator

as opposed to if Trump wins where it's only 97% likely to print to oblivion

Deregulation, abolish taxation, abolish legislatures, common law, private security

Also if people want to waste their lives smoking weed on their own property then good riddance

I view battery EVs as sport-luxury toys for city dwellers. Sport because you need some justification to buy the thing and high torque is a good one, luxury to cover over the up-front materials cost and city because the range is not ever going to be great (and even if it was you'd still need an alternative network of charging stations).
