  • This is definitely worrisome.

    But is it the end of the Constitution quite yet?

    The Supreme Court hasn’t weighed in on the executive order trying to negate birthright citizenship, they said that lower courts couldn’t block EO’s at a national level.

    Implicitly, their not commenting on the EO feels like they’ll let it stand when the case arrives, if they choose to hear it. Then I’d say the US Constitution is toast.

    I’m an engineer, not a lawyer. I’d love to hear what someone more knowledgeable about this thinks.

  • Few people can focus enough to read.

    I work in a technical field. In the past few years I’ve learned that interacting by email usually requires one-line sentences or bullet points, with any questions being numbered. No fluff, no secondary thoughts or possibilities. Keep it as minimal as possible.

    It still fails to elicit a coherent response about half the time, but it’s the best I’ve found so far.

    It didn’t use to be like this. But what’s to blame; screen addiction, microplastics, covid, increased stress, … ?

  • We got ours just a week or two before seeing him for what he is. It sucks and we can't afford to ditch the car.

    I really think the people that work at Tesla have done a great job making a very affordable car that works well. I can only imagine that the disgust I feel towards the asshat and to the association with this car pales in comparison to what the people who designed and built it feel. 120,000 people work for Tesla.

    I don't see how, but it'd be better if we could separate the 13% shareholding asshat from the company rather than destroy it. It's a shitty situation.

    edit: by 'affordable' I'm looking at total cost of owership, which was significantly less than a new Prius. Also, I'm in a snowbelt, used cars are a bad idea here. (can ya feel the defensiveness?, ug)

  • Wow, that, to me, seems like something only the very privileged would suggest.

    So I bought a car based on low emissions and total lifetime cost. The connection to one asshat has soured the public opinion of the company, so I should take a $10-15k bath??

    This is not the way.
