  • He “could” TOTALLY pay his way into a baby boom.

    Step 1: Tax the rich. Lower the pressure on the lower and middle classes.

    Step 2: Fix housing pricing so that a single hard-working person can afford a house, a car, and two kids without their partner having to work.

    Step 3: Put some guardrails in place to stop the 2-3 companies that are buying up everything. Give medium and small business a chance to thrive without needing to be purchased by a giant company.

    Step 4. Fix healthcare so that the family above gets 100% coverage for whatever happens. Pay for it with Step 1.





  • When I do keto there’s a striking change in clarity. Most people I talk to that also do keto experience the same thing.

    When I’m driving, I notice dents and cars and abnormalities in road lines that I normally would just filter out and ignore.

    If I jump back in and eat a bunch of carbs it goes away pretty quickly. It’s not to say that I can’t see the things if I were looking for them but it’s like my brain just goes yeah whatever.

    I wonder If they tried controls on overeating versus under eating instead of just healthy versus unhealthy.





  • Not talking about the body shape I could give a s*** less about that, matter of fact as places bring out different body shapes it kind of irrationally pisses me off. I’m talking about the design of the suspension and what they did with 360 camera coverage, how they handled the dual motors, The headlight emitters are actually multiple LED arrays and they can spell out shit in the headlights if they want to. All that crap was new and different. The only thing They really introduced that everyone else followed on and I hate is putting every blessed thing on a touch screen in the middle of the car.


  • not OP, I wouldn’t mind a redemption arc, they were pretty f’ing cool before he got there.

    Everything that was on the market before tesla was a facimilie of a thousand other cars before it. They did something (for better or worse) different. Learning what not to do has power in itself.

    After they took the leap, all of a sudden a lot of other companies started throwing out prototypes. I don’t think the Volt I drive today would have happened if they didn’t go there first.

    Of course things got a lot worse as Elon butted in further and they started pushing QC out and cybertruck BS in.

    I think they’re likely irredeemable, but I’d like to see another company follow in their footsteps and keep pushing the tech further, not in a garbage dumpster direction, but in a simpler and more effective direction.


  • do we have any qualms with the rest of the company

    Let’s say they can him. Let’s say he is somehow compelled to sell off stock until he’s a minitority shareholder. His ego would not let that go. To say he’s still filthy fucking rich would do a disservice to filth. You can’t separate him from this mess. He’d just come back.

    If he just disappeared tomorrow, no chance of repurchasing it, just maybe but we need to see:

    • Unions everywhere
    • OSHA up their ass
    • Put some fucking LiDAR on the cars
    • Reinvent quality control
    • Reinvent a safety program so that people can’t burn to death locked in their car.
    • Fully support individual resale.
    • Fully support 3rd party service centers.
    • Every car is modified until it gets at least a three-star crash rating
    • All features are purchased with the car, if your seat has a heater, you can use it for free.
    • One feature is “we don’t sell” or “store your data in a way that can identify you”
    • Car updates are transparent and unless a true safety hazard, optional.
    • No more of this screwing around with odometers to speed past warranty availability and everyone gets 30k more miles and another year because they were assholes.








  • line was a plant

    Didn’t need to be, the whole point of the Israel support was to sow the division. It was designed to be a no-win scenario on the left, orchestrated by the right, and the dino’s. The defense contractors win, there’s a stock angle to play and the collapse of support for the left.

    The truth is, the left is not listening. They haven’t been for a long time. But not voting left wasn’t about to change any of that. Half the left is owned by the right. This takeover wasn’t overnight, it was over decades. Even if we managed to squeek in Harris, it would only have been another 4-8 years and we’d be back here.

    Unless something drastic happens, we will stay a fascist dictatorship.
