You can usually find a separate plug to disconnect it. If lucky, there is a fuse.

From what I’ve heard, pretty much all FAANG company layoffs in California in the past couple years are: turn in your laptop, all company access blocked, you are still officially an employee for 60 days with pay/benefits, and then you are laid off on the last day. This is what the WARN act forces them to do.

In my line of work, I’ve seen many many many severance agreements. And exactly 100% of them contain similar clauses along the lines of “If you accept this severance, you can’t turn around and sue us”. Tesla is shitty, but this is not a shitty Tesla move, it’s an “every employer in the country” type of move. 

Highly debatable. A car is not an investment. He could have put $5K down on a $25K used (reliable) car and invest the rest into an investment that will actually bring him a return on this investment. But hey, nothing like showing off to the neighbours in a brand new car. FFS

Dipshit buys Tesla.

The median individual salary in the US in 2022 (the latest I can find) was $40,500. Yet the median price of a (new) car in 2022 was $48,500. Isn’t this “Bah Gawd, the car is more than yearly income!” sitchy happening pretty much.....everywhere....for most folks?

Wow. You know that when an HOA isn’t on the wrong side of something involving a certain person, that someone is an absolute pile of shit.

I bet the cops travel him to jail and not drive him there.

.....woooosh!

I wonder if this title was a reference to that.

Wow, excellent contribution to the conversation. I’m sure everybody really appreciates your valuable insight on this topic.

if you believe that today’s conservative cares about any of that, well, i don’t know what to tell you. it’s now the party of grievance politics, forcing others to do what you want/believe, nationalism, and “vote for (insert politician), he’ll hurt all those people you don’t like/are afraid of”

dude i’m in my 40s

Well, the country is so far right in totality; so it’s about that as well.

Hate to say it, but there is not a difference anymore. It’s the same values, but without the veneer. 

Not sure “status symbol” is the definition of luxury, although it certainly can be. But in some circles, a specific motorcycle or something else can be a status symbol among a particular crowd, but it might not be actual luxury (say an old, restored specific brand model of bike), but it might not actually ride as…

Did you read the article?

i bet if you asked them their views on social issues that you likely avoid, you’d discover you were wrong about said difference

yes, because both parties are right-wing aligned, dems less so but still clocking in at center-right at BEST

Good point.
