Slandering biden won’t help Bernie get the nomination. Enough with using Republican lies against biden. Enough with the ludicrous conspiracy theories. Enough with the name calling. Enough with terroristic threat to sit out the election or even vote for Trump. The voter have spoken. They are just not that into Bernie…

“Joe Biden, whose campaign previously encouraged Americans to go out and vote in droves in the middle of a pandemic”

Speaking of open source, motorsports teams all over are stepping up and trying to develop extremely inexpensive and open source ventilators. They can design and fab them but not on large scale, so they throw their otherwise idle engineering staff at it.

Number three, despite the name, is not a ventilator, it’s an auto-squeezer for a CPR bottle. Or a Chokebot. Either, both. Whatever.

I make a comment in a previous article about Tesla cars lacking soul and one of the Tesla fanboys attacked me for a half a dozen comments. They’re insane.

I once heard Trump fairly accurately described as a poor man’s caricature of a rich man, and I think that Musk could be fairly described as a dumb man’s caricature of a smart man.

Star for the very vivid hypothetical.

Agreed, except a lot of people saying it are conservatives who believe everything Trump puts out into the world.  So they heard Trump’s lies about what GM was doing, believed those lies, and then at some point skipped EVERYTHING Musk has said and went right to “see other companies are doing it without the government…

There are people that, if Elon Musk held them down and shit into their mouths, would talk about what a hero he was for taking time out of his busy day to share a small, steamy part of his genius with them, that it tasted like Cap’n Crunch, and how you’re just hating because you didn’t get a mouthful..

No, classic example of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

The most infuriating part of this is that, now, even from some Jalop commentors, I have to hear about how Musk is a hero for producing ventilators but GM is only doing it because the government forced them to do it.

there have always been idiots shouting nonsense. The problem is that today’s average Joe will believe anything.

Musk is really one of those guys who hates being wrong, possibly even more than Trump.

Some folks do not know about journals. Jalopnik’s reach can spread good info.

Yeah, it ignores the fact that COVID-19 contributed to whatever the directly fatal illness(es) were.

Ranking of ventilators that I’d want to be hooked up to;

History will not be kind to the people in power that downplayed COVID-19. The owner of my company is doing the same thing. He has played the “we’re essential” card, keeping the office open. Everyone in the office isn’t set up to work remotely, they all have desktop computers and desk phones. There are older folks with…

Also twist:  “I’m brilliant in one field, therefore brilliant in another after a quick bit of browsing data”  

Also a classic example of “I’m smart enough about a few things, so clearly I’m a genius who can do everything.”

Classic example of “I’m rich because I’m smart, and I’m smart because I’m rich” phenomenon.
