That’s only true if a person has another job lined up and enough savings to feed their family through the transition.

That’s a privileged attitude. In the absence of anything resembling a sane healthcare system, not to mention the crushing debt a lot of people have accumulated, leaving a job is not something to be taken lightly.

Fought and lost.

At least Elon seems capable of love, plus he doesn't wear those fucking turtlenecks.

Back in the olden times, that was the job of the court jester, speaking truth to power and, on occasion, waggling their dick in the monarch’s face.

We’ve done plenty of “research” as we’ve reported on this company and its issues for the past decade: https://jalopnik.com/tag/tesla

Soonpra.

Hey dipshit, the employees (as in, the ones doing the actual journalism) are not the employers. It’s their literal job to “throw stones”.

He’s dead, Jim.

I’m headed this way. When I hit the 4th (new) pothole in a 3 mile span along my commute home last night, I gave up on my e90. Love it but, I live in a city, and city streets could qualify for rally stages these days.

FTFW:

Barrett-Jackson does a tremendous amount of good for charity which makes me have awkward feelings towards them when I realize how inflated and unrealistic they’re making the collector car market be. Part of the pomp & circumstance behind B-J is buyers being part of the “big sale;” that is, they know they’re on…

1st Gear:

Neutral: Sure, why not? Just have to think even BIGGER! Just increase the size of pickup trucks to a Virginia class attack sub and fit them with their own on-board nuclear reactors.

“Mary: have you considered incorporating magnets into the production process? I don’t know how they work, but they’re magical little things.”

My take, which is a cynical one, is that these senators are merely pandering to their constituency. I’m not saying they don’t sincerely prefer the good people of Lordstown be employed, but I’m not sure they really expect Barra to do mitigate the circumstances. Come election time, these two scheisters will at least be…

Maybe roll back those tax breaks and use the money to rebuild old infrastructure and build out new infrastructure for the future? Nah, I’m sure that money will trickle down eventually...

“Why should we give you this bailout if you cannot run your company efficiently?”

Later....

“How dare you run your company efficiently, we demand answers!”

3rd gear: Audi can change CEOs but after Dieselgate its reputation is Schot.

Clearly, Lordstown needs to build Suburban-based EVs in order to placate both American consumer and Congressional needs and wants. It will be the first EV to return a calculated 8 mpg.
