Counterpoint: in general, we need to move away from the idea that every last policy needs to be means-tested, and granted only to “the deserving”, because “the deserving” is how they get us every single time.

I’ve got news, 23 year olds are stupid everywhere. Your prefrontal cortex isn’t even fully developed until you’re 25 and it’s unfortunately tightly bound up with rational decision-making, super useful in making business decisions

They did already. That was the whole point of the original story.

No, this is Patrick.

In all cases cited, the car was bought with the understanding it had the features currently on and available on the car. Removal came post-purchase.

When asked about the bathwater on the program, Tenka no Chanyuki replied, “The president [of our management company] said, ‘Let’s sell it,’ so it was put on sale.” He told them to do it. The 23-year-old president was then quoted as saying, “I thought it was amusing...”

It’s a very annoying and stupid thing Tesla is up to. I mean if it’s on a car when being sold, taking it off later amounts to theft. The argument that it’s a software and is licensed to the first owner doesn’t hold water.

I STILL do not understand how this happened.

This honestly isn’t true, because the demographics Sanders has staked his campaign on are unreliable voters. They couldn’t even carry him to the Democratic nomination, much less carry him to victory in a general election.

There is “abuse” from every candidate’s supporters. The media chooses to focus on Bernie because he is a threat to the pearl clutching liberals. Biden will lose if he doesn’t appeal to Sanders’ base.

Frankly, as much as it pains Bernie’s fans to hear, Biden has more of a chance of appealing to the Republicans who feel like Trump and the current GOP do not represent them, are morally repugnant, or are just right of center rather than far-right wingnuts. 

Given how post-modern the evangelical movement’s conception of truth is, that doesn’t really surprise. I mean, post-modernism as an academic theory of truth was never taken all that seriously. The main insight and value of the post-modernist movement was to note that there is a fundamental distinction between what is,…

Yep, that’s what I was going to say.

I would think ushering in the apocalypse through his complete mishandling of this pandemic would actually be a positive thing in evangelicals’ minds.

I love how Trump has established the stock market as the barometer of his presidency, so much so that he could only be bothered to care about this pandemic after the stock market has taken a beating...and his attempt to stop the slide resulted in the single worst day for stocks in a generation. Nice work! Remember…

and closing off travel to afflicted European countries.
