To extend what TheGreenGolem said, what you have understood as “could of” is actually a contraction of the words “could” and “have” into “could’ve”

2614·2 years agoIts really not as easy to acquire fiber-dense foods in the US as one might assume. That shit costs money, and is a low priority for people who don’t have money.
Edit: my point of it being a low priority for most people who don’t have money stands.

Gaming@beehaw.org•September’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are now available to claim
10·2 years agoI feel like the free PS+ games have really gone down in quality for a while now.
Who is Johnny? Is there a video or such that he’s from?

Here’s my perspective, but it might be pretty wrong:
I think the reason for the low demand is due in large part to the pre-existing gas industry, at least in the US. Not just because of marketing advertising gas-powered more, but also because people don’t like to change, and buying a new car is not cheap. Not to mention that the US infrastructure is so heavily solidified in gas. It’s just easier to continue buying gas-powered because it’s already so supported across the country. Then the industry benefits from this because they can say, “oh, huh, looks like people still want gas-powered! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” and so the cycle repeats.
I think a lot of people don’t really understand how much power corporations really have over what the people do or don’t do, like or don’t like, etc… 99% of the time people will take the easy option, and corps take advantage of that by making the easy option the cheapest and best for themselves instead of what’s best for the people. Corporations only do what’s right for them, and are masters of making it out to be that that’s what the people want.
