It’s not unusual for people who grew up in socialist countries (esp. Eastern Europe) to lean towards the right-wing politically. I’m sure Russian coal-baron Gennady Ayvazyan worked very hard. His partner in the coal business is Iskander Kakhramonovich Makhmudov, who should be familiar as one of Russia’s top…

Every billionaire is a policy failure.

People who own yachts did not achieve success honestly.

That sentence you quoted didn’t strike me as sour or jealous at all. It is you who is reading way too much into this.

Also, this yacht has insurance.

hey look, someone trying to be funny and failing miserably

HOV lanes don’t cause traffic to back up in other lanes. If the HOV lane was converted into a “normal” lane, traffic wouldn’t move any faster because of induced demand. But, by having an HOV lane, it does typically ensure faster travel times for people/vehicles that are able to take advantage of it, excatly because…

High occupancy vehicles should have a high occupancy, like a bus with dozens of people. A car with 2-4 people does not sound like a high occupancy to me. Even taxis and Ubers don’t belong in that lane.

While these numbers are a bit alarming, part of the calculation has to be the price of EVs. There is a prepayment of cost to reduce operating costs. And as they multiply, the average car will cost more to buy and less to power.

Yeah, but you get a state with hundreds of miles of coastline, low humidity, access to major metropolitan areas, maybe some solid infrastructure, and a state level government that is less-overtly trying to destroy it’s citizens.

I’d like some more data, averages can be skewed by outliers. I am much more interested in the mode so I can see what a majority are paying. $712 seems like it’s skewed by a lot of very expensive vehicles. I also want to know loan terms.  

Funny how it’s always stuff that helps low-income people that gets blamed for inflation, and the solution is always to throw more people out of work.

I think they didn’t account for the number of tightly controlled industries deciding -now- was the time to go on a massive raiding party and strip the consumers bare.

“Musk would never have access to all the material information to seal the deal from SEC filings.”

Fraud is fraud, there’s always recourse when there’s fraud. The question is if there is any fraud and can you prove it.

Except that’s not the deal Elon signed.

That would be incorrect. The only reason you don’t feel like you know intelligent, productive people around you who’ve taken risky decisions is because statistically, a risky decision like trying to walk over train tracks or passing on a hill or any of the other risky choices like that is because they don’t do it all…

Exactly, and I fail to see why there is this outpouring of sympathy for these “victims”. I agree that the engineers and first responders who have to clean up the mess actually ARE victims, but that isn’t what this article is about.

People playing chicken with a train is not only a tragedy (for the people who know them mind you - your death wouldn’t be a tragedy to me, but it would be to somebody else I hope) but it’s expensive. When people die, it costs society, both in lost productivity as the dead person can no longer work, in the costs it…

Like China? Which it’s not available in.....

When he accused someone literally risking his life to save trapped children of pedophilia I started to actively hate him.

He’s like a knock off Lex Luthor but without the charm, wit, or capability.
