Moving the goalposts when you’re beat is a bad look.

Well, you put forth ideas and vote on them and if you get enough votes they pass. That’s how *all* policies are enacted. All policies start off as “ideas.” This is not a meaningful criticism.

After McGovern was crushed in ‘72, left wing Boomers conceded permanent defeat even though pretty much any Democrat would have been crushed that year.

But he wasn’t and what he created won him reelection*three* times because it was so popular.

Gerrymandering has nothing to do with the Senate unless you are arguing that state lines are gerrymandered.

Considering that Senate is based on fixed state borders and not districts, undoing gerrymandering will have nothing to do with winning it back.

I know you don’t *think* you are, but every person I’ve encountered who tells a story like yours and frames it as “merit and work got me mine” undersells their privilege by a lot and generally fails pretty badly to understand the circumstances of others in declaring themselves smarter.

When they say anybody can do it, they really aren’t lying.

This is the actually lucrative way to do test prep as the big companies charge quite a bit and pay their teachers a measly fraction of it. Gotta have those rich connections to make it work though.

Or cocaine.

These money diary stories probably the purest form of capitalist propaganda in their degree of dishonesty and explicit intent.

Also I don’t think we needed a proof of concept that tunnels work.

Hopefully the representatives from the Chicago City Council and mayor’s office took note of this because if it’s just a car in a tube going 35 mph and not a skate going several times faster, it wouldn’t even beat the Blue Line downtown from O’Hare.

And one day Musk might actually invent something!

Intelectual indeed

There’s an engineer down here in the grays explaining that the main reason his tunnel was cheap is because it skimped on things like fire suppression, proper ventilation, and emergency escape routes.

I’d say part of being a smart businessman is not tweeting something about taking your company private and costing yourself $20 million because you have a pathological need to post.

*pats you on the head*

What’s fascinating about your post is you go from confidence and optimism about Musk’s ability to deliver better things through technology to saying we’d all be better off without modern (technologically-driven) life within a sentence.

Tesla and SpaceX are vanity projects developing things his companies aren’t even exclusively working on.
