Well, presidents can also leverage other actors to help them out. Quid pro quo, you might say.

Unfortunately that really only tends to work in the favor of bad actors. There is no legitimate reason to have immunity for "good."

He could just dissolve the supreme court, it would be a little easier. I doubt the (current) military would actually carry out any sort of assassination. The military leadership are selected and it is instilled in them to pledge loyalty to the nation, not the president.

That sounds easy

This is the same clown that released a Neo-Nazi campaign video right?

And what possible way has Ukraine lost this war?

Russia's goal was to topple Ukrainian government and see his complete control over the entire country in 3 days.

Here we are, 3 years into the war and Russia has lost something like 14,000 vehicles, over half a million casualties, and what have they achieved exactly?

Besides turtle tank technology of course.

That's not true, Tesla has figured out manufacturing and does so profitably. Unlike any other American based car manufacturer, Tesla is making a profit per unit and they do not rely on legacy ice vehicle sales to prop their balance sheets up.

Sodium ion batteries are actually currently in production, and are in production vehicles by catl and other companies. There is an American and European company also commercializing the technology.

They are offering roughly 3,000 charge-discharge cycles, which is on par with lfp.

Battery technology for electric vehicles is moving super fast right now.

EV batteries are actually significantly different than the batteries in your laptop or phone, and are designed to have minimal degradation over many many years of use. The coolant loops also help to moderate the temperature between cells, which eliminates problems of hot spots and the heat stress that a phone battery will experience.

For instance, my car has over 300 battery cells in it, which results in say a 100 MI Drive will only use each cell draining by about 1/3. The much lower cyclic rate on these cells results in a much longer lifespan, and the battery conditioning using liquid coolant is how they achieve that.

I'm sure there are more than 10 sedan models available in the united states, did you look at Mercedes and bmw? They should have a few models.

Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Porsche, Volvo, Mercedes, VW, Polestar, to name a few.

Some use the larger cells, but not all. They apparently are a bust and don't offer increased energy density like they had originally claimed.

The lfp cells come from China, and are now being heavily taxed.

They have the premier charging network in the United States.

Unfortunately, nothing else comes close and probably won't for a few years... Like 10 years at least. The US is probably a decade behind Europe's electrification at this point, and about 75 years behind it's rail electrification.

There is currently a huge labor shortage in the united states, particularly for engineers and skilled craft and trades people. There's no fucking way they would be able to hire 10,000, let alone 500,000 people. Hell, my company has had two engineering positions open for 2 years and we have had zero applicants. Zero!

Everybody just wants to be retired or be a social media influencer these days, with that amazing side hustle as a door dasher.

I've read that all they're doing is diluting the current shares, so in essence the current shareholders are screwing themselves over by devaluing their own shares.

Pretty dumb

Tessa was in San francisco, not delaware. Delaware was only for incorporation and tax purposes.

Cocaine, ha! Such amateurs.

My city sells that much weight in fentanyl per week!

Stuff? That isn't very much money. Our monthly grocery bill alone is over $1,000. Plus rent. Plus car payments. Insurance. We're already over $5,000 a month.

I don't know what to tell you, but I work in business in the US and work in invoicing in the construction industry.

Everything is done via paper, full stop.

Bank transfers do not generate invoices, full stop. Company to company payments are made using a PO or check. Nothing else, in my experience, are accepted.

These are for amounts of $1 to tens of millions of $$$.

There are whales today who were alive when their family were killed by whalers in the 19th century.

Think about that. They know.

Hyperion? Dan Simmons?

All I remember were the Time Tombs
