So a pilot’s license and a driver’s license are really interchangeable in terms of the numbers of people we’re talking about who have each? Just want to make sure that’s what you’re saying, TED?

Most of the same people justifyingly bitching about California’s absurd, big government, individual-stifling bureaucracy in this case, will tell you out of the other side of their mouths how we all need to “save the planet” and “pay our fair share” of taxes. All of which is really just code for getting back at wealthy…

No, you wouldn’t see the hilarity in the posts from folks like you. Which is a big part of what makes it so hilarious.

While I can appreciate the humor, the point wasn’t that it’s necessarily the NSA that would be doing this, but any other government agency who wants to over-reach. The NSA example was just showing that, while possibly incompetent, the government can still force you to do all sorts of things, whether you’re even aware…

It’s pure comedy listening to you people pontificate exactly what will happen with the utmost confidence. The horse analogy is so fucking old, that it might be the biggest comedy of all. You people (probably millenial idiots) use it for everything autonomous cars to electric vehicles, both of which you inexplicably…

In other words, you had no idea what you were talking about, yet you still have to continue looking the fool?

You’re right, you “won”. You said so.....LOL

And by the way, did you think that NSA would be reading your emails and monitoring your phone calls and social media communications? Yep, I’m the “jackass”......

The idiotic government you speak of, and they are that, succeed it forcing you to do all sorts of things I bet you don’t want to do.

So you knew that whole time that corporations and the government were conspiring to monitor your communications? Being that you’re from the future, you probably predicted such a thing, no? Why did you sit on such a huge story?

No, I don’t know what futures are. Except when I trade and make money on them. Particularly in the past crude.

That’s right, the NSA are a bunch of donkeys.....

And what has happened during said collaborations? Please be specific.

“Oil, like all commodities, isn’t at all based on ‘simple supply and demand’, funny right!?!?”

Guess you’re not interested in answering my original question? I mean, after the rest of your assertions have proven ridiculously unfounded, why bother right?

Well, before I bother, why don’t you answer such questions for me. Don’t the answers form the basis for your hilarious belief in EVs taking over the world? I would think you have those answers.

Have you a read news story in the last 18 months?

So another would be engineer that thinks his special knowledge solves the world’s problems? OK, thanks.

That’s right, because smartphones are a big business for them (I didn’t say smartphone operating systems)? And please don’t tell me how Nexus phones are indeed a big ticket item for them or that it’s not about providing a showcase for the operating system.

So don’t believe me. It won’t change anything in my life. Especially all the good parts about being rich, by most standards :-)
