Jesus thanks for posting this. Found it on my LG ThinQ.

Anyone have a fairphone? Thoughts about it?

You get this email that you know is BS, but your agemcy head insists you answer to it. Sonti goes theough the chain of command where ultinately your direct manager asks for it.

Lets be honest, thats not nothing of consequence. Thats rounding the wagons up and energizing the base.

There are three special elections coming up that could take away the GOP majority. They need to do things with high optics that show strength; things that energize the base. Saying “we cant do anything” regsrdless of the truth in it LOOKS WEAK. Thats not a way to show leadership.

Im trying to figure out the angle on that one. I suppose he thinks if its deorbited during Trumps term, he can corrupt his way to extremely lucritive contracts building a new one that he can charge rent for. At the very least lucritive contracts to send all the parts for a new one to space.

By 2030 he’ll be in exile somewhere evading prison, so it has to happen ASAP.

I still use it mostly out of inertia; im just used to it at this point. I dont like it, but at this point its like an old ugly pair of jeans that are broken in

Its just a distraction meant to throw people off the smell of the real crimes they are committing. Call it the gulf of dogshit i dont care

My understanding ia that they get carbon credits for producing EVs which they then sell to carbon producers to offset. They also produce batteries.

That being said, its not going to take a deep dive unless they have consecutive missed eps targets. Even then though, part of Elons MO is to promose some visonary tech that takes year to peoduce so just sitbtight man becauae im telling you its coming…

This time around its robots for the home. Laughable not because we dont have the technology, but who has the disposable income to afford it? Even if they come out, and it turns out people buy them (which also means not heing turned off by musk); where is the moat? What stops a competitor like boston dynamics, samsung, etc from seeing it as validation of a market and then entering it?

It can be, but it doesnt have to be.

Working hard doesnt scale. Work smart

He mostly lives off debt with tesla being the collateral. Of tesla shares tank hes going to get margin called so to speak

The key word here is that its up to US. Resistance as am actual thing, not some stupid democratic slogan. True civil disobediance.

But not all parts of nyc are covered by a subway (outer queens, parts of eastern brooklyn, most of staten island [arguably all of it]). NJ isnt covered at all except for PATH, which is limited. If you live in nyc and work in new jersey, this is a new tax (either in time or money). If you live in parts of nyc that are a two fare zone, this is a new burden as well.

All subway upgrades this century so far have been centered in new stations in manhattan, which is already densely covered; train lines need to be added and extended to all parts of the city that dont have coverage whatsoever.

Thanks for clarifying. I forgot its not interchangable for the Netherlands.

Best in the nation does not mean it is good. A great deal of NYC is not sufficiently covered

How does one go around entirely when trying to reach long island, and vice versa?

How many are driving into, or driving tbrough? To get from long island to nj, one needs to either go all the wya to the gwb (already worst traffic in the entire nation), go through staten island (two tolls, one of them being > $20), or go theough residential streets in manhattan to get from the bridges to the tunnels. Cross town highway options are non existant. Its a geographic, and poor planning issue.

There are a lot of two fare zones in the city limits. I understand the desire some people have to turn nyc into big amsterdam, but nyc is substantially larger than that city with substanitally less interconectedness. Hell, Holland is a country barely bigger than the NYC metropolitan area.

If people had good reliable transit available, they would use it. The reality is that they do not. People who think nyc does either are not from there, or live in the privilged part that has tons of transit options.

You cant force people, you have to offer better options. I agree, if cars were the slowest option people wouldnt use them. Guess what? They arent. Three bus transfers are. This is ignoring anyone who needs to travel outaide of the city limits as well.

A lot of nyc is a two plus fare zone.

Just because people work for these places doesnt mean they dont also feel the system effects of them. Most people just need a paycheck to support thenselves

The revolution will not be televised
