I’m certainly not suggesting that I think this is a great idea and completely viable company. Just offering some potential explanations for their design decisions diverging from a “traditional” chopper.

Yes, because McDonald’s would have had exactly the same success without Ray Kroc, but if one of their line cooks had walked out they would have been in serious trouble...

Well a few things come to mind

I guess I just fail to see where the “if a worker has no power at all” mentality is coming for/how it’s supposedly relevant in a case where the workers union is in active negotiations and exercising their right to strike to help get what they deem fair. It’s a big jump from “the company didn’t immediately grant all of…

Really hope they change their mind about that. When I saw this announcement, it became the front-runner to replace my Wrangler 4xe lease that ends around the time this will come out (for 20 minutes until I learned that’s not an option unless I move to Australia)

I love how articles like this seem to be based on this underlying presumption that CEO’s are not worth their compensation package.

I get that the dealer likely has a legitimate legal standing with all the million documents they probably made the guy sign at closing.

Wow that’s a great point, there’s a very real possibility employers could band together and do that and I never thought about that possibility until your comment just now.

Never did I say that changing jobs is a frictionless event without any hassle at all. But thousands of people change their company, field of work, move to different states etc. every single day.

Do you mean trail boss or did chevy introduce a new trim?

But it still took another two days to finally run out of juice, stopping after 2,573.79 kilometers, which converts to slightly more than 1,599 miles.

The only gripe i have about that option is screen position. Seatback screens are usually right at a convenient eye level versus spending the flight hunched looking down at your screen on the tray table or having to hold your screen. And it’s nice that with the built in screens I don’t have to worry about my battery. 

I think you’re describing exactly how the process is working. If all of the employers are playing hardball, the union can exercise its right to strike and force the employers hand. Either the auto companies have to a) Meet the union demands b) find someone (or something else like a machine) to do the job or C) cease…

I completely agree and as I stated in my comment, both employer and employee have full freedom to seek other arrangements if they are not satisfied with the terms, and that includes my full endorsement of the employees rights to say they don’t consider their compensation sufficient and go seek more acceptable…

Did you even read my comment? I’m saying both parties are free to seek employment/employees wherever they like. The only way my comments give employers “all” the power is if there’s only one employer and the employee has no choice.

Except the difference is these workers are free to take their talents elsewhere if they believe they’re not being fairly compensated in return for the value they provide.

Except how does the cash grab work if he’s the only one who believes in the stock?

Starlink is part of SpaceX, it’s not like Musky has one independent company subsidizing his other independent company. Your comment is like saying “Ford should clearly have higher margins considering they have the benefit of Ford building the trucks for them ‘at cost’ “

First off, anyone who was even remotely following this company and its stock/IPO was already well aware that the guy bankrolling the company was hanging onto basically 100% of the stock himself.
