1st gear - Would it be legal for the federal government to say that a business can only get these types of massive loans if there is a set limit to the ratio of executive compensation versus the company median (or similar)? So when the CEO is banking 100 times the salary of their employees, then no help for you.

They have literally been doing their best to ruin the user experience as much as possible. Everything is designed to maximize clicks/views while ignoring that users who don’t like the changes will simply stop returning at some point. 

They’re currently building a battery manufacturing plant in Austin and are reportedly very close to building a lithium refinery in the Texas Coast. Tesla has one of the most vertically integrated supply chains amongst the major car companies. They are 100% a car company and have been trending towards controlling more…

What are you even arguing? Why do you care so much that people whose only notable accomplishment is dying to keep slavery legal? Just because they sacrificed their lives for a cause they believed in doesn’t mean we still have to give a shit about them or do anything to honor their sacrifice. 

Slavery was once common, therefore we should forever have monuments honoring slave owners that only exist because a bunch of white people got mad they couldn’t own black people anymore. - ThatVanGuy

I’d argue the need to generate profits has had more impact than witch hunts, at least for the last ~150 years. The resources to progress are expensive and every success is on the back of 100s of failures, so our society has largely deemed it necessary that R&D results in future wealth or else it gets cut (if it even…

Having spent a lot of my job traveling to project sites either locally or long distance, I moved to primarily using retail stores for drinks/snacks/bathrooms several years ago. 

Excluding breakfast/lunch tacos in the South that I can watch someone prep, I generally expect gas station food to be bad. What disappoints me the most are when I get a common candy bar and it has issues like it’s been melted/hardened a bunch of times or it has that weird gray color because it’s probably 3 years old.…

Battery chemistry. There’s a lot of nuance to mass producing things and the whole supply chain, plus the incredible amounts of oil money & infrastructure out there that a lot of people rely on. However, the advancements in battery chemistry are a really big deal when it comes to personal transportation. 

There’s a fair number of US households that have a primary food fridge, drink fridge (or extra food), and could still have the extra freezer. That’s more common in rural & suburban households while most metros have something you describe. Rural because the nearest grocery store could be an hour+ drive, so people will…

you can be sure I’d be doing about two episodes a year ranting for an hour about how it doesn’t make any sense for clearly mammalian Pokemon to be hatching out of eggs

Possibly ironic, but the only known orca attacks directly to a human (not counting our boats) are by orcas in captivity. 

Left to wander completely rudderless with no chance to edit.

I never said entire cities asshole. Google Robert Moses for a piece of racist infrastructure

There’s entire books dedicated to racist city planners who used low bridges to prevent black people from taking busses into various areas all over the east coast. I’m sure that some exist because of other reasons, but I specifically meant that. 

Would be interested to see how many of the roads under these low bridges lead to a recreational or residential area that was very popular pre-1980. The type of places where certain well known city planners intentionally designed bridges to keep buses from moving certain people into those areas...

F-150s were stolen from under Ford’s nose and sold to buyers with fake titles.

People who share vehicles have to adjust the side mirrors almost every time they get in. HVAC controls as physical buttons that I can operate without looking, which I often do as the car heats/cools during the drive. Certainly not a daily issue, but there are times where I want to transition from my phone music stuff…

I suppose I didn’t account for weird things like “laws” or “safety” that I’m sure have changed quite a bit since the 1950s...

Considering they got the modern equivalent of ~$1 million, I think it has more to do with no one wants to sponsor such an effort. Would it cost more than ~$700k to get a modern version of this system fully functional for a few months? Mr Beast has already proven you can get people to do a lot of awfully mundane things…
