But what is the ultimate way to rebel against parents who are treasured and beloved by millions? By being an abject, gaping asshole with a chip on your shoulder for no reason.

What Block wrote is a solid analysis of the Tesla situation. What he did was to make a bet based on that. And when it didn’t pay off he explained why. And shorting is a short-term exercise. Anyone buy-and-holding should consider his statements.

1st: Was he wrong though? Just because it hasn’t tanked yet doesn’t mean Tesla’s stock price isn’t insane. Maybe Tesla is worth more than all the other major automakers combined, but that seems like a stretch. The only way I can get there is if the entire world converts to EVs and none of the other automakers respond.…

There is no way for consumers to know how much these things should cost, and a long history of utter shit being sold at premium prices. There is no trustworthy system to signal whether you are in fact cheaping out or not.

well, you know how much it costs to produce the car, you know how much it costs to market the car... then you have to decide how much revenue you’ll need to put back into the business to make more cars, and finally how much money you want to take home. at least that’s how I’d go about it. 

ICE cars are incentivized, just in other ways. Do you have any idea how much of the government’s resources go to ensuring a steady supply of oil?

Did I shit on your dream of living to 90 as a fun-loving functional alcoholic today?  No?  Please return the favor?

The US outlawed lawn darts after the death of one five year old. We have regulations for consumer products out the ass to protect the public. There is no (personal view, here) case to be made against making more safe an item that is designed to kill; you’d think that would be a fucking feature, but not in this country.

“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything. Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything.”

cameras are fucking small nowadays, and there’s nothing not undercover about a dashcam, since you can get one off Uncle Jeff’s emporium of counterfeits (amazon) for cheap.

But, didn’t Musk say:

Wait. Did this Chief of Police Dude... just try to say he wants to hold automakers accountable for the products they manufacture?

The news report didn’t mention race. Therefore it was a white kid.

National parks do that sort of thing a lot, usually to keep people from parking in inappropriate places, or cutting across the landscape instead of following the road. If you look around at the landscape he wouldn’t have had to go very far before hitting a boulder anyway. Or a tree.
He’s lucky the car didn’t try to…

Right. Because your original post was so profound and insightful.

Sometimes there are two sides to a story and it should be reported as such. Sometimes there really aren’t two sides. The ‘other side’ should just be noted as a bunch of cranks with no legs to stand on. It’s a mistake for journalists to think that there must be two sides to every story and they must be given equal time.

LOL

I don’t hate parents, and I don’t think kids are a failure of birth control.
