His open anti-Semitism, racism, and Chumphumping aren't helping but what's probably killing him is Hyundai. I walk past a Hyundai dealership a few times a week and they are pushing EVs hard.

You’re not wrong on the politics. But I think the era of cheap labor is ending if it isn’t already over, and I’m not sure the Chinese government has a plan for that beyond “subcontracting to the Vietnamese.”

Probably the most wild thing to me in Project 2025 is that the right wing goon squad wants to pump more oil and gas because LIB TEARS.

Am I the biggest fan of the credit? No, at least not as designed; I wish there had been more in it to push people who didn’t need cars away from using them.

That said, the tax credit’s cost is cheap relative to the costs of paying for climate change, and it’s really hard to dislodge the idea that cars are not always…

GMC SUVs and trucks where I live with Jeep SUVs close behind.

A fun little preview of what's going to happen to a lot of late model SUVs and trucks that have their cost jacked up $10k because there's a 2013 Motorola smartphone jammed into the dash connected to God only knows what.

The first one really did not want you to play it for eight hours a session. It really paid to play for an hour or two, do something else, and come back. This seems the same way.

Unspoken in all this AI hype is the pants-pissing dread the techbro class is feeling as it begins to dawn on them that, A) they need humans to do things they don’t understand, B) humans will not generally work for free, and C) their investors are very, very upset at the idea of paying humans.

OK but were you informed an enemy was weak to fire?

Working in marketing I have learned to smell Boss' Idea and this has that reek ALL over it.

Tesla is for the asshole who drives a BMW or a Merc, though.

The short answer is for all the cult following’s rantings about how it’s not a white savior narrative is not is not is not (which is only credible if you view Dune and Dune Messiah as a piece) and Villenueve’s pompous bullshit, they just don’t have the spine to make a movie about a bitter precognitive watching…

Because it's private. That apparently purges all sins. At least until these clods say some white woman robbed a bank and THEN people will get mad.

“Lack of demand" for used EVs isn't the issue. My local paper today had an article on used EVs that had people buying them within hours. It's just nobody can afford a used Porsche.

Electronic gearing makes no sense to me unless it's an ebike. 

Did they also put you on their social channels calling you an asshole for not making you money? Because that’s the problem here.

Also, like... it’s Walmart. They’ve treated their labor pool like shit for literal decades. Now said pool is shrinking, retail workers have better options, and the Bentonville weirdoes are probably asking their pet spy agency to figure out if Antifa is behind the lack of applications for a job that pays a penny above…

He is not one of the “most well known and popular people on Earth.” He’s well known in a pretty niche sector of the entertainment industry. I’d bet the vast majority of people you meet probably have no idea who this guy is and have never seen one of his videos. Similarly, he has no idea who you are and doesn’t care.…

“including those who are asked to live and work in some of the most expensive cities in the United States”

This, to me, is the second most fatal problem in digital media (the first would be union-busting.) The demand that people who work on the internet and cover digital goods must come into an office has killed a huge…

I can’t blame her for being fed up. So are audiences. It is fucking insane that the box office was only narrowly salvaged by two movies, Barbie and Mario, and the overwhelming response was “We’re back! Everything is fine!”
