And that’s fair, but there is a profound difference between baked-in engineering and supplier component issues that are difficult to detect (as in the case of Toyota) and flagrant, easily identified assembly defects and inconsistencies (as in the case of Tesla). There’s no reason Tesla couldn’t do a little extra QC on…

Because you’re wrong.

Uhhh. No. Tesla manufactures EV automobiles. The fact that they are software-heavy doesn’t make them a tech company, even if they’re unrealistically valued as one.

“Do the doors line up” is not a small first-year engineering flaw.

This is just wrong. Yes, it does happen where vehicles (especially new models) have issues, but Tesla’s continuing quality concerns are not common. 

Except, this isn’t some mechanical issue hidden by engine components, or things that happen as a result of use - these are a delivery checklist of things you need to look at immediately upon delivery of the car. (Think walking around a rental car marking all the scrapes and dings when you pickup it up at the airport.)…

And yet the ‘18 Model S that my friend bought was significantly worse than the already terrible ‘12 he had. The 3 and Y his husband had were terrible too. They very happily own a pair of Ford Mach-Es now.

It’s clearly people gunning to get a Tik-Tok ASAP of the bridge collapse from up close.

But hey, Tesla bad.

Fuck off, shill.

This is ridiculous. 6 hours for hot chocolate, 6 hours for spaghetti, 4 hours for brownies. Hot chocolate should take 2 minutes in the microwave, or 10-15 on the stovetop. Spaghetti & meatballs takes an hour to make normally. Brownies are 10 minutes prep & 25-30 minutes in the oven. Why would anyone want to do these…

But why is it always the hot chick streamer “gamergirl”?

Fundamentally, there are three types of taxes: progressive, regressive, and proportional taxes.

A proportional tax is where everyone pays the same rate, but the dollar amount varies. Some US states have a proportional income tax, but one news-worthy example that comes to mind is how Finland has speeding fines that are…

unless you like sucking the teet off your government overlords.

God this site is toxic, you still haven’t explained why it’s a tremendously stupid idea.

Yes. A thousand percent yes. Tax brackets should move north. But, the burden should be shifted from low and middle income earners, to the wealth and corporations. We could all pay a little more, I agree. Corporations and the wealthy should be paying a lot more.

A sales tax by itself isn’t going to fund infrastructure, schools, healthcare (Canadian perspective), the military, farm subsidies, overseas aid, hiring grants for Not-for-profits, research grants, R&D for renewable energy programs, matching funds for private donations to aid groups... I could go on for hours on all…

when the top tax bracket stops around $600k - you know how they are trying to divide us.

Someone who earns $200,000 a year doesn’t pay 5x as much for a gallon of gas as someone who makes $40,000 a year. Therefore, sales taxes make up a larger portion of someone’s income the less money that they earn (assuming they are buying the exact same products)

Shit, that photo. He’s so desperate to be liked.
