After all of his Coronavirus stunts, I will never buy a Tesla as long as Musk is in charge of the company.

Yes, because there surely wouldn’t have been even more uncertainty if they didn’t act at all! You never cease to amuse me.

I think the real problem is that not enough trailers look like this:

Other than the fact that self-driving trucks don’t like work, yeah that’s true. 

The obsession with those “milking the system” pisses me off. The total cost of non old people entitlements in 2019 was approximately 110 billion.

So, here’s exactly how that will play out:

However, what’s going on now isn’t due to some company failing because of their business practices; this is due to governments around the world forcefully shutting down businesses and public movement which funds it.

I am so sick of socialized risk. I am in a tax bracket that gets soaked to pay for those above and below me. I can handle helping the less fortunate, but subsidizing the hyper wealthy makes me want to smash things.

Can we please stop pretending we get any efficiency out of capitalism if we keep using government cash to prop up large corporations that get too moribund.

If they need aid, break them up into chunks that can safely fail.

I don’t feel guilty.

Yes, Henry Ford was an outspoken anti-Semite. Others of the time were equally anti-Semitic and racist.

But it has the wow factor if you don’t get into the details. Saying “I’m a graduate of MIT.” and “I ate at McCormick & Schmick’s last night.” provides enough info to sound impressive, and the listener fills in the details themselves in their mind automatically.

Ironically, judging people by their bloodline was a cornerstone of Naziism.

Going to MIT to get an MBA feels like going to McCormick & Schmick’s and ordering a cheeseburger.

Yeah, and my merit increase is out the window because of the future losses, not my past performance. This is BS logic, and everyone knows it. Yes, if the timing was different, the dividends would have been paid before this fiasco hit, but that’s not how it happened. The stock market is an investment system, NOT a wage…

May I present the Volkswagen up! which not only does this beautifully but weighs 150-300lbs less than a Fiat 500 and comes in a 117HP/150ft-lb turbocharged GTI model. Sadly, we have to wait 20 more years to get them in the US.

This failed by 1 vote.  Every Democrat who voted against this needs to be held to account, but Bernie Sanders having failed to cast a vote is the most conspicuous to me.  He may have a good reason, but shit, right now it looks like an inexcusable abandonment of pretty basic principles not to have bothered to vote!

“But you said you wanted bipartisanship!”

They use the “war on terror” and the “war on drugs” to justify a lot, don’t they? 

Fuck Musk and fuck Tesla. We were their target market and need a replacement set of wheels. Won’t even consider them now. We don’t spend our money with businesses with policies that skew right-wing crazy. Hobby Lobby, the Chicken place, Walmart and many others completely lost our business years ago. Tesla, thanks to…
