The part Tesla nailed down is the most important for a business that’s ignored by the Jalopnik commentators: automotive margins. Tesla’s profit margin on cars is #1-2 in the entire industry, with only Ferrari being in competition. Sales of Model 3/Y are skyrocketing year after year and they can accord to cut prices…

Fair market value is not fair.

We had to run out of people dumb enough to take on a 1k car payment at some point.

How many doors have all other Mustangs had?

If they did Tesla would be out of business, and that would be a good thing. Screw Elon.

Having spent my career thus far in the public sector... government employees, even high-ranking ones, are just as capable of being batshit crazy as your Drunk Uncle rex.

There’s no way it would have stayed buried for decades if there was anything to it.

Which makes the theory of the government silencing any and all college classmates/professors of Bob Lazar nutty as well. Ain’t ever gonna get that many people to follow orders that well

Look, we have pretty good models that are able to mathematically predict how long a secret or conspiracy can stay covered up based off of how many people and organizations know about it.

Plus, ex-intelligence guys have a tendency to be a bit nutty.

Old news

Michael Flynn was a decorated member of the military, too, so that doesn’t automatically confer “truth” to whatever they’re saying.

We should increase the sentence for the latter then. We’ve seen the damage that intentionally crashing even a small aircraft can do if you fuck up, and then to compound it by orchestrating a cover up when caught, yeah, that deserves being nailed to the wall over.

Ah, I see he’s entered the “and find out” stage of his fucking around.

Good. This is an excellent precedent. We don’t need dipshit youtubers crashing planes and other shit to get clicks.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I think the key word is “conservative”. This is exactly the type of stuff that gains wide traction on conservative media and excites the frothing GOP base to vote in a primary.

Well it clearly is though, transphobia is alarmingly common even among those who consider themselves to be opposed to conservatives

“Targeting abortion is a losing issue, but targeting trans people—a small subsection of the American population—has apparently been deemed a winning conservative issue.”
