You can't deny the impact that they had on propping up EVs as desireable, though. There wouldn't be so many Teslas on the road if the opposite was true.

I think that billionaires gain their wealth by gaming the system, and it seems foolish to expect them to not continue to game any new system that they're a part of. Especially given the degree of control you're suggesting.

Idk, maybe it could work. Seems like there's a lot that hinges on billionaires doing the right thing, and I'm skeptical that they would.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say ratio'd. And yes, I've read all of the discourse ITT.

Why?

2024 = 2030

Interesting math you've got there

I don't remember many excerpts from LotR giving sympathy to wiping out orcs.

You seem to have missed me pointing out that countless other bad things have happened, which is the 'orphan crushing machine' point.

Oh my God, why didn't I think of that! Simply have more money, thank you internet stranger. My problems are solved!

I think they were actually putting something back into their car.

That being said, Jesus christ who the fuck opens their door that forcefully?

Call someone the devil enough and eventually they might believe you.

I mean, yes, but the only way you don't see the implications of the headline is if you're willfully ignoring them.

I agree, it's nice that her kids and grandkids have a house they can live in. What about those 85 years she went without a home? That's a shitload of time an entire lifetime, and what about the other people who have had horrible things done to them for horrible reasons? Who will receive nothing?

I'm with you, yes this is a nice thing. It's not at all unhealthy to draw these conclusions from the story, however.

Personally I think it does matter because the same things that led those independents to be incapable of determining that Trump really is a bad man/president (despite the fucking mountains of evidence to support it) will lead them down a similar path with the next wannabe despot the GOP puts forth.

I mean yes, congratulations for catching up to the rest of us. Why the fuck did it take them so long?

Bold assumption; that being people who support men like Donald Trump will read a book.

I can't see "I'm sorry I had you" being a good thing to say at any point in your child's life.

Wait...

He also dodged the draft

This seems very specific, hopefully you aren't speaking from experience.

Whenever I see something like this I'm conflicted. We shouldn't need to sue for things like this, it shouldn't ever be allowed to happen in the first place. Obviously do it if you can prove it, I have nothing wrong with the person suing, but it just shouldn't need to happen in the first place.

Dude you're talking about shoving a stick into your eye. What part of a stick will provide a clean cut?

Yes if fired the dull stick out of a fucking cannon it would destroy the eye, how many bits of criteria are we going to add to this (what should be anyway) very straightforward analogy?
