Elon reminds me of when my (then 4 year old) nephew went through a phase where he told everyone “You’re a little bitch guy.”

hes a child begging for attention.  i cant believe he and his fanatics had conniptions because the president wouldnt say their name.  

Fuck that. All health care facilities should have forced vaccine mandates. There is NO reason why someone who is immuno compromised should be scared of going to the doctor. If you don’t believe in the efficacy of vaccines and are a health care worker then you are in the wrong field.

Centuries of treating white people different than POC. 

Exactly. I was reading yesterday that it’s really hard to tow these trucks if the drivers don’t want them towed. Fuck that. Arrest the drivers, take the keys, move the trucks.

The MAGAts that I know praising this convoy crap are the same annoyances that were saying protests in Minneapolis that block traffic should all be charged with felonies and or killed outright. https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/05/31/breaking-semi-truck-appears-to-drive-through-protest-marchers-on-i-35w-bridge/

Yeah, I don’t understand the plan. I know the bridge only supports 45m tall vessels. But they can fit out the boat to 40m tall, take it past the bridge and finish the fit-out with it tied up outside of the harbor can’t they? It’s my understanding that this is common on larger vessels. From what I can tell, this is…

“If, for example, we went to war with China, they would simply cut all the supply chains and win the war without firing a single shot.”

As they should. We are reaping what we have sowed.

This kind of thinking is sort of missing the point. It’s not binary. It’s not like if the US doesn’t get to 84% by 2025 we will have failed. Yes, Norway is different. Yes, infrastructure here and actual DISTANCES would make it much more challenging. Yes, Americans as a whole have different attitudes. But here’s the…

Hell.  Look at people bitching over doing something as simple as wearing a mask when they are in crowded places...

Um, actually if you check the map, their infrastructure is one of the most impressive and expensive in the world. Especially in the north where the mountains rise from the seas, they’ve drilled hundreds of kilometers of tunnels through mountains both to make shortcuts and prevent avalance road blocks. They’ve easily…

Too right. Several things that Norway is decently good at that just won’t work here in the US. Like nationalized healthcare for instance.

I think it’s not just population numbers but population density that plays in Norway’s favor in this. Most of the population is located in four urban areas, in a country that isn’t that big to start with. That means the EV infrastructure is easy to build out and you’re probably not looking at a lot of concern over…

Exactly. You always get this comment when a country that isn’t the US succeeds at something. In most cases, it’s utterly irrelevant.

I don’t know, I wouldn’t bet republican. I’d bet Libertarian, but that particular kind of Californian libertarian where they’re basically right in line with all the usual hard republican positions on everything except drugs and explicitly supporting the Republican party, rather than the more midwest style libertarian…

I’ve never seen his birth certificate, that’s all I’m saying. But his emails....

Is he even a citizen?

He’s straight up Ben Shapiro level, not merely Republican. He’s mentally ill if he thinks he gets any seat at the adult table.

Musk has to be a Republican. If there’s one thing the Repubs love, it’s “false equivalence”. So Musk is ignored (omigosh!), so he feels he has to go on the warpath—a page right out of (failed) Dictator Donald’s playbook.
