Elon, Elon, Elon. You can’t say, post, or tweet whatever crazy idea might have popped in your head when you may or may not have been dropping acid. You are the president of a publicly traded company, not the President of United States of America.

Tesla is learning that there is a reason that the CEOs of most companies don’t use things like Twitter, though it seems that Musk himself is having a hard time learning that lesson.

That’s a COTD-worthy post right there.

When a ‘90s Malibu needs new tires, I’m pretty sure it’s considered totaled.

It’s not so much about the easily replaced positions but those that are harder to replace. You want to retain staff and to do so you generally have to pay them more than you would pay another employee on average.

So you’re not gonna give any sources for your claim and you’re not even going to summarize what the problems even are, while acknowledging that we can’t find them out ourselves?

That’s one possible solution, for sure. The other is that you need a combination of democratic and capitalist structures in place to help prop it up. This is why many “socialist” countries in the EU aren’t pure communism, but rather are capitalist economies with socialist programs to keep everything balanced.

It could work in a small group of people who all have low expectations and are personally invested in each other, but I don’t think it can be sustained. With a little time and a little success, clear winners and losers in the “everyone gets paid the same” model will emerge.

this is nonsense from a business standpoint. "sounds like its working too", nope it isnt. its keeping them from expanding beyond 11 employees, disuading high skill workers (why would a senior engineer work someplace where they get paid the same as the PR rep who just sits on twitter and goes to conventions?), and…

Equal compensation is only attractive to people with the least to contribute.

“I absolutely agree on an equal share for everyone contributing on any specific project when it comes to things in this industry. It’s quite rare that anyone had a lesser workload. If each piece fails the game fails.”

Unfortunately we live in a country of hundreds of millions of people, and if you split up society, government, and business into small systems applicable to small groups, you end up with hundreds of thousands or even millions of separate systems.

Yeah, centralized government never tends to scale well. To deal with more people, you naturally create management, which then creates hierarchies that bloat into bureaucracy, and that organization neuters the contribution of the individuals that can bring innovation.

Can’t find anything online, can you just say what the rumors/downsides are instead of hinting at it?

What would he do with a mask?

the concern for pilots is flying into a downburst, when at low altitude..

I can’t fault the controller in the slightest either. Both doing their jobs, conflict ensued, procedures followed. Everybody got home to see their kids.  System worked.

What happens when it’s winter and the leaves are gone?

I’m curious how much vegetation would help. There are a lot of sections of barrier walls in my area that are almost completely covered in vines. I know that wouldn’t work in the Southwest, but in most other areas I don’t see why they just can’t plant some fast growing, evergreen vegetation and just let it go wild.
