300 for a small-ish car?  That seems nuts to me.  I have just short of 300 in my Telluride and that feels like a lot more than needed.  I only say this because way too many people are out there abusing the power.

Man, it really sucks when someone tells you what you can and can’t do with your body, like, taking away your choice to do something.

If you’re dumb enough to give Musk your money, I have zero sympathy for you.

Does this mean the owner of a local shop can have their store “shut down” and “seized” by police if they happen to have an outdoor security camera?

It’s one thing to request footage and/or get a warrant, but literally taking away the vehicle itself and holding it hostage and useless is a whole different level.

Sure. That’s what they say. Was it a pinky swear? 

It’s always good when hateful assholes like you show yourselves.

That isnt true.  I have yet to see any american auto maker come out in favor of universal healthcare.  The increase in taxes would heavily offset their contributions to healthcare plans, and particularly legacy healthcare plans.  Automakers should have been pushing for universal healthcare decades ago as it would…

Well, apparently, he is smarter than Boeing as his SpaceX has been sending astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station for about 3 years

One morning I woke up and turned on the television. On the television I saw a commercial for the motorcycle I owned. “Hell yeah borthor” I said. But then there was a minority in the ad. “Oh no!” I yelled at my television. “Don’t get on my motorcycle, minority!” But the minority DID get on my motorcycle. Did that mean…

Your well-regulated militia in action.

“Bows To Bigots” I’m SO happy you didn’t bury the lede here, because that’s exactly what Harley-Davidson did. They made the active, public choice to value willful ignorance, misunderstanding and hate over the realities of the world. They are pandering to a group of people who are so sheltered that they get mad…

As a fellow lib, there’s nothing that makes me feel more “owned” than a complete stranger destroying his own property in a fit of pique over some bunch of strangers trying to make sure some other bunch of strangers are being treated fairly.

See this makes sense because every night people all over the world lay down without moving for 6-8 hours, and all of them die. Now we know! Seriously, what is this even about?

“Companies are using invasive technology to violate the rights of our citizens in unthinkable ways,” Paxton said in a statement. “Our investigation revealed that General Motors has engaged in egregious business practices that violated Texans’ privacy

The front looks good enough.  It’s the back I can’t stand.  It looks like video games look when the cooling fan on the video card is clogged with dog fur.

Bizarre take. Do you work at a dealer or something? Presumably slinging Altimas to single moms at a 29% APR with the intention to repossess them later.

If his money was in an index fund, then his disclosure would say “15,000 - 50,000 in a Vanguard index fund” as opposed to specifying the company within that fund. If some middling government employee accepted a fruit basket from Elon they risk getting fired. This is a conflict of interest that the judge gets to…

But there is a difference between owning companies in an index fund versus owning an equity outright. I somehow stumbled into Nvidia 3 years ago, and the growth in that single stock dwarfs the growth in any index since then. If I were a judge in a position to boost/kill a single stock based on a position I held,…

I’ve spent a lot of time learning about personal finance and I’m naturally very frugal. That said, I’m less inclined than I used to be about financial-shaming people. The deck is usually stacked, there’s a power imbalance, and a car purchase is usually not a discretionary luxury purchase for most people. This comment…

Hey all of you readers and writers, I have a bumper on my car. I charge $4 million per sticker to allow you to advertise on my car. I see that you folks haven’t been advertising there and thus, have not paid me. So I’m going to have to sue all of you for that.
