Developments seem to occur every 6 months. That will open the door to the realization that chaining multiple passenger units to a single motorized unit is even more efficient.

How long before they decide that pavement is liable to potholing and rutting, and invent some sort of extruded steel sections for the vehicles to run on, to ensure the vehicles have a smoother, longer-lasting track to travel on?

Yes, it’s really too bad that we haven’t invented a way for footage to be saved to be watched later. 

I’m guessing they have a rewind function.

Tesla is ahead of schedule.  They weren’t expecting to blow up in China for a couple more years.

You know what else makes a lot of noise? Helicopter blades.

The trailer provides its own plot hole / solution: Just run a noisy woodchipper. Any town with one or two of those is 100% safe within minutes.

What a ridiculous comment.

I was just going to bring that up. Here is the link:

Episode #132 of the Reply All podcast covers this story in infuriating detail. Peoples’ lives were ruined in this ordeal, and for nothing. The Wisconsin politicians involved with the Foxconn deal are Flint-level guilty of doing a disservice to their constituents.

This started independent of Trump. Our former Governor was in the habit of giving generous deals to companies that backed him, even if they never held up their end of the bargain (See Ashley Furniture). This is just a culmination of those efforts. Trump saw it as a GOP success and backed it.

Wisconsin and NC are gerrymandered so hard that the popular vote and the results have nothing to do with each other.

God I hate Walker and the WEDC. Everyone who’s even vaguely familiar with Foxconn or manufacturing could have told you this wasn’t going to work out. As soon as the ink dried on the signatures, Foxconn started rolling back their promises, while the state continued to plow forward insisting everything was fine and…

All of the incentives, they’re not really tax credits, they’re cash payments,” Hintz said. “Not only do we not obtain the revenue, we pay the company.”

$100/year for the middling content Netflix provides still whips the living daylights out of the $100/month for pure garbage that the local cable co. has on offer.

Never demean a rational choice like this. It’s effectively the only means of watching many, many back-catalog films at this point and also the most cost-effective means of watching new releases, assuming you watch more than a couple a month.
