We are entering an age (god I hope it’s only 4 years but who knows) of (royal) court politics- whoever has the shiniest keys to jingle in front of the Dauphin will get the most attention, and being able to blame our horribly mismanaged problems on something distracting will become paramount. 

“We need to get rid of all diversity initiatives” says the fake government department run by an immigrant and a brown guy.

Deport Elon.

I am not a fancy expert on how the government works, but some random, made-up department can’t unilaterally make budgetary changes, correct?  Doesn’t the House still control the purse strings, as the old saying goes?  Which isn’t to say the House wouldn’t go along with this, given its current makeup, but still. 

That’s been sent down from on high, that all this DEI stuff has to go

Elon / Tesla’s plan to hire nothing but white men and immigrate slave labor from India is coming to fruition. Exciting times...

Its not just about investment, the Chinese use literal slave labor.

And slave labor.

I don’t think you understand just how much the Chinese government subsidizes their industries. One of our suppliers - a U.S. based company making steel forgings - told us that they could not compete with their Chinese competitors on price, so they decided to open up a facility in China. They found they still could not…

Oh, 2 whole billion? That’s cute. Estimates put China’s government support at $231 B between ‘09 and ‘23. On top of that, they demanded manufacturers “share” technology and buy in country in order to be able to sell there. The scales have been weighted for some time, and every country does it, but China has built a…

China has invested over a 1/4 Trillion (with a T) in domestic EV subsidies since 2009. Your argument is a weak-kneed response.

Cool Amber. $2B a year versus the $40B or so per year that China spends annually today and the conservative $200B that China has spent over the last 15 years. And point taken about the fossil fuel industry, but that’s a government problem.

The Chinese govt can invest in clean transportation AND be spying on us. Two things can be true at the same time. Consider that we just recently learned the true purpose of Pokemon Go (getting people to run around with their phone cameras to build a database of worldwide location photos that beats even google’s).  

America protected and used alot of those Nazi scientists for American endeavors. Also, America didn’t even care for the war, until the Japanese attacked them. Which is one thing that you don’t do to America, directly attack it. Had Germany attacked Pearl Harbor instead, it would have been a different story I reckon.

That’s because there’s every reason to believe that a wrecked GT-R can be made to function again by a determined (and talented) amateur mechanic with a decent set of tools and a heated garage.

VW as conceivedof  by that mustache guy was deader than the mustache guy by the end of the war. The only reason it still exists, literally the only reason, is because a British officer, Major Ivan Hirst, decided to revive it from the shattered warehouses and burned out factories. VW is the most British car…

Have our modern capitalists not done their homework, or is a genuinely free and fair market not in their interests?

This whole project was a boondoggle Muskrat used to siphon money and attention away from actual public transportation projects. He’s publically admitted it! Practicality was never a concern because it’s the infrastructure equivalent of trolling.

“Is there a chance the tunnel could bend?”
