How would an accountant, or janitor, or anyone not directly related to manufacturing products that compete with products made by outsourced manufacturing eventually lose their job by buying the outsourced product?

True it is a new car company, and yeah things happen, but at that price some of those things really shouldn’t be happening.

Tesla is still a car company in their infancy that is simply faking it til they make it. Nobody in their right mind with $80,000+ to spend should choose a Model S over something like the upcoming Porsche Mission E. When the Germans fully join the party its going to be game over for Tesla as an automobile manufacturer.

In every way possible the very last person you would ever expect to be employed by Barstool.

What’s PFTCommenter like in person?

OMG someone calmly and mildly criticized something in a game we better type up a whiny comment accusing the author of being more mad than he actually was

What’s an example of something he could have done to resist other than speaking out?

The point of the arena deal and that wad of taxpayer cash was to “revitalize” a moribund downtown. That it’s taken a single home game (and that might even be generous) for the new car smell to wear off should encapsulate pretty neatly the scam of publicly financed stadiums.

Since 2003, over 250,000 Iraqi’s have died because of the US invasion. Over 4,500 US Soldiers died in Iraq.

GWB’s no saint, and he doesn’t get a pass for what he was responsible for, but if think I’ll believe you wouldn’t have him back in a hot minute if we could jettison *45 into the fucking sun, I’m going to call you a liar.

Um, no. The primary requirement is “did you do a bunch of evil shit.” If I secretly hate everyone, want to murder people. etc, but spend my life saving puppies, am I evil? If I want the best for people, but do a bunch of evil shit, am I evil?

I’m as far as you get from being a G-Dub fan, but it’s worth noting that Obama’s record on human rights and endless conflicts is not exactly stellar either...

Counter counterpoint:

I am so fucking sick of this being used as an excuse for him. He was the fucking president. Does it matter whether or not he was actively evil or just let a shit ton of evil stuff that he could have stopped happen around him? No, it fucking doesn’t.

Dude, this isn’t something that CR is doing differently for Tesla. It is literally how they always rate any new car. If Tesla’s request is to be treated exactly how other companies are treated, they’re getting what they’re asking for. If their complaint is just that they don’t like what they’re hearing, they can go…

But it’s a different design, a different factory, a different production methodology, a different set of workers...
