No, we don’t want that, actually because we remember this:

Yeah, safety regs. Who needs those pesky things? I love the flavor of A-Pillar in the morning. It tastes like, injury.

I know it’s easy and tempting to pile on Chinese companies, start-ups, or just China in general, but I’ve seen first-hand how eager they are to make things better.

Again- and I’m asking the question. Are you really serious? I could easily see how you could be simply being facetious and if so- Bravo!

ive got a friend from WV so he and all his friends and family back home bitch that obama killed the coal industry. they all cheered when trump relaxed the rule that let coal companies dump their waste into the local rivers instead of getting rid of it properly. And they will not for one second believe coal died…

Pretty sure we can’t lay this on Trump’s shoulders:

You are right, once you reach the marker you just keep on accelerating, forever.

Neutral: “job-killers” are you fucking high? I get that exclaiming “they took er jobs” is a good way to get on this president’s good side but what jobs?? You need more R&D than ever to try to meet these standards. Then it becomes a challenge of how well can you meet them and how much can you minimize cost. This has…

I like his method of working backward to the answer. He makes two mistakes:

Couldn’t remember
the greatest car in the world, no!
This is a tribuuuuuute!

Obligatory Waltrip video

That’s my garage right now. I have a MINI Clubman parked next to a 1966 Austin Mini. Still stuns me how much smaller the Austin is. OR, how much bigger the MINI Clubman is. Stupid dichotomy.

I often hate to comment on politics. I know the amount of passion that it brings out in people. I know how dedicated many are in their views.

Actually, Tesla sales haven’t shown a huge correlation with gas prices and Tesla/SpaceX could benefit from cheap oil/gas. It’d be bad for Solar City. That said, the most pressing business issue for Musk, in Trumps hands, has to be the H1B visa

You are missing the biggest thing that Musk represents on Trump’s council. Large scale, long term, blue collar job growth in the manufacturing sector. Tesla and SpaceX and Solar City are ALL largely Made in the USA. Thats the biggest thing Musk brings to the table, thats why he has clout.

Let’s be clear though. Every person on Trump’s Trusted Team of Douchecanoes is using him as an opportunity, all for various personal reasons.

They’re all using each other, but let’s not pretend there’s some kind of game plan beyond gaslighting the American people, sucking the master’s dick and covering their own asses. I think it’s a mistake to treat these venal pricks like they’re playing chess as opposed to making it up as they go along; there’s no…

we had a major CAFE standard milestone hit in about 2009 i think and you will note that cars remarkably started getting better mileage after that without making less power. Car prices have increased but thats due to the economy and increased safety standards more than emissions. In fact in many cases super low…

Love to join you, but I’m an immigration lawyer. Is it okay if I keep working? I’ll order pizza and send it to any protests around me, though.
