This indeed happened at least five times during my life on Reddit, usually when a thread you commented on later made it to /all. I think that some people took it as if I was saying that my way was better. Also I don’t even own a car and haven’t in 20 years, but if I had one, I’d want a manual.

Genuinely I have been heavily downvoted for saying that, but that might have been more of a Reddit thing.

lol nice

People get offended by strange things. I have found that virtually anytime I mention that I prefer driving stick will cause me to get downvotes. So will suggesting that front-load washers are more gentle on your clothes. I think what happens is people go “wait, they said something different and I feel attacked.”

I think my point is that his wealth is based on the game and like anyone who passes bad checks between accounts, the reckoning eventually catches up. He’s going to lose big over the next few years.

Yes but that only lasted weeks before collapsing. The end is coming, he is now trying to roll Twitter into spacex. It’s where his real riches are. When it eventually goes, so does his money

Thanks

I’m not sure what it has to do with the ozone, please explain.

lol let him waste his money on an impossible technology

Senators have a term of 6 years, but 1/3 of them are up for election every two years since their elections are staggered.

Members of the house have a term of 2 years and every one of them is up for election every two years.

That’s where we are now. This is an opportunity for power to shift in Congress based on what the voters want.

Precedent requires a decision, there is none here. They simply didn’t hear the case.

It takes a long time for new technologies to saturate the market. It would have taken decades from the release of the first TVs until 80% or more of people had one in their home. Likewise, it took decades before a sizable proportion of people had internet access. It is only now that cable television is not a thing that most people pay for access to–replaced by streaming services.

As TV was taking over, Radio and Cinema would have had their place. Radio still has a place in nearly every automobile sold across the entire planet.

The materials are also surely more expensive.

Stocks are based on emotions rather than success or failure.

Both are failed companies, but Musk has more money on hand and can keep the lights on for longer.

FWIW we had an anxious diabetic cat who temporarily benefited but the effect wore off over time.

This was precisely my thought.

Ultimately, conservatives live with symbols. They are trapped in “GOVERNMENT TOO BIG AFFECTS MY FREEDUMB” and can’t consider the economics of it. If they separated from Canada, they would instantly become the third world and poverty would be the name of the game except for those few, rich oil folks.

It would be just like the people who left California for Texas only to realize that taxes pay for services that make their cost of living less. These people would move somewhere in the South and suddenly be shocked when they get hit with a huge emergency room bill.

Because the wealthy run the country and control the legislators who pass the laws. They don’t want enforcement, so there is no funding for enforcement even if the laws exist on the books to keep the middle class and poor in check.
