I've got a damn doctoral position at university, you can fuck off with you claims of innumeracy. Your political bias prevents you from understanding the basic need here isn't to cover the total cost of purchase but only and exclusively that claimed cost increase from fuel efficiency improvements - the added cost from the additional equipment and design changes, as overhead on prices for the cars sold.
Safety is more important because it is the factor upon which all others depend. Information asymmetry corrupts markets - consumers don't know there are product defects beyond cursory inspection, certainly not on any sophisticated level requiring long term study. It is the responsibility of the state to reduce that asymmetry and improve welfare by taxing the contrary impulses and if necessary outright criminalizing them.
There are flaws in every single one of your estimates, and all of your calculations. I'm German and apparently understand your tax code better than you do. Your top bracket only applies to income within that bracket, over the previous one. That brings the amount to even less, but the demand isn't for every car/vehicle. It applies only to those where efficiency is better meaning pollution is removed by replacing older equipment. The Trump crony claim was that incentive is created by not improving fuel efficiency and the marginal costs that involves. The tax proposed need only cover that marginal difference.
Tax the top income bracket an extra 0.001% and use that to fund tax discount vouchers for all new cars with better fuel efficiency. Pocket the savings from population health improvement - not spending billions on fifth and sixth yachts but instead letting millions buy new cars that will give them and their families and their communities healthier environments to live in, and increase economic productivity by living longer. That is, unless this is all deception to further whatever short term goals Trump and the US leadership have been paid/bribed to represent instead of their constituents. That misrepresentation is failure to do their actual jobs, and they all need to be fired then.
If you are claiming to have read a 667 page textbook on functional calculus within ~3 hours, but failed to notice that the title is "Concrete" Functional Calculus when replying to a post asking for a "Concrete" Calculus example, well - you missed something more significant than a zero.
You are in bad company with those kinds of irrational beliefs. Especially given your obsession with labeling, segregating yourself from others, and casting dispersions about evilness about without actually demonstrating any harm done.
Early Christians did intentionally destroy Pagan writings, including Greek and Roman science, and even went so far as to rape and murder the academic Hypatia for the sake of their internal gossip. They created only limited religious writing. All science from the Greeks and Romans was preserved exclusively by the Arab civilization. I say this as a Catholic, so don't imagine some offense. It is just that history and reality are different than you know.
That depends entirely on the mission. It is entirely possible to direct massive human efforts at reprogramming robotic equipment deployed even millions of kilometers away, farther than any human has ever traveled. It is possible to repair power problems with the same reprogramming, and the only loss for error is research time. A robot powers down and uses reserve so that it may be recovered, while a human just dies. In fact of the entire matter, the missions that are useful are exactly those done by machines and not by people. This doesn't require AI because practical radio control has existed for nearly 60 years now, and it works at even those extreme distances. How do you think Voyager communicates, the probe that is redefining the limits of the solar system? In contrast humans require a million fold more complications at every second to ensure survival, even before mission objectives can be acted upon. When it is possible to send a human as far as Voyager already is now, it will be better still to send a billion probes out to explore for comparable costs.
Sure. In general phone use and especially internet smart phone use is detrimental for children.

All of them will have more impact than your delusions. I am sorry but your fantasy of emotional impact on wide ranging basis isn't reality. You have either a narrow view of history before your birth/growth, or a failure in memory combined with limited exposure. Regardless of what goes on, most people have no choice but to continue working. Most in fact must work without much of any break until they sleep. Space flight has always been a niche industry due to cost and the limited applications it has except for communications, remote sensing, and defense. Public spending on space must be suitable for those purposes or it is a waste.
Spacenutters don't know that they are nuts; they think 1 Gm is the same as 1 Km if you wish hard enough, and that humans are somehow better at sensing with their narrow 600 nm range (300-900 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum than devices that can actually detect everything from Planck (1.616199(97)×10 meters) and above without technological limit. There is a nearly infinite amount of actual real events on earth alone that people are unable to observe directly but which are critical to its ecosystems and readily observable by satellites. Using those same instruments and even better ones will produce more data, accomplish more for research, and provide more value than space travel with human passengers.
Try that one again - a German posted a link to a Swiss website. I am amazed at the prideful ignorance and and willful stupidity displayed on Slashdot now. This is basic information that anyone with an education can find easily. As for the Han dominance, I mean the Ming were the last Han dynasty, replaced by Manchu (Mongolian who were a mix of Mongolians and actual Far East Russia natives rather than the transplanted ones in Vladivostok, etc.
How wrong you are about everything! Especially notice this quote "China has been a united multi-ethnic country since ancient times.", the numerous recognized minority groups listed previous to it, and the detailed history of cooperation that follows it. China's goals are peace for the sake of trade, and if you look at China's actual history it even declined invading Mongolia despite being attacked thousands of times by its closest neighbor. Again, if you look at the actual history Han dominance is relatively recent but every group has accepted the previous and used it for growth, all the way through the Ming.
Russia has engaged the US on the Syrian battlefield as an enemy multiple times this year, but China just wants to do business. Treating them the same way plays down the threat posed by Russia and inflates the one posed by China. It excuses Trump and vilifies Xi.
What do you mean, "just as good" in what environment? This publicity test is nowhere near actual vacuum of space, nor the temperatures experienced either in heat or cold. This suit is an amateurs vanity project given attention because Slashdot has gone to hell since it was sold (for the fourth time?) and the original editors all left.
The goal of this policy like others worldwide is volume restriction for pollution reduction and traffic control. Whether a car is a taxi or one of these private taxi services claimed as ride-share services, its exhaust creates air pollution. Even if it is electric, there is air pollution created at the utility. Wasting energy is a waste. Cities also have finite areas meaning traffic must be managed. Access for emergency vehicles must be ensured.
Don't ignore ecology: why are there more ants alive and foraging for food specifically in your area, and in such elevated numbers that they kill century old trees? Elevated temperatures increase the hatching of innumerable insects, shift them to earlier in the year, they then act as food for the ants, etc.
Wrong. Here is an easy to understand breakdown from an actual US law firm.

Notice the "What is Prohibited Under the Hatch Act?" section and this bullet point "Use their official authority to encourage or discourage the political activities of others".
That site is run by lawyers trying to defend violators, so they have the details down correctly because that's how they make money.
Maybe slightly lower income tax, but wait until they see what ordinance violations exist, and what the payments are, as well as how often they are cited. Also, no guns.
"Singapore has one of the toughest gun control laws in the world. According to the Arms Offences Act, unlawful possession or carrying of firearms is punishable with imprisonment and caning. Using or attempting to use arms when committing a scheduled offense is punishable with death. The death penalty may also apply to the offender’s accomplices present at the scene of the offense."

Faggot you can try that shit in person and I will put you into the grave!
How about growing the fuck up you autistic little retard?
fuck off you stupid faggot

It is absolutely disturbing. Slashdot has fallen so far it is now a cesspool compared to its origins as a site where educated people could interact.

Was that the one with the loggers, or do you mean the one with the fluke on the submarine?

No need, China has missiles that have more than twice that range.
