I just want an electric car :( but the Tesla's are too expensive.
I might end up buying Chinese cars
Hyundais are very good EVs
It’s sad because there are a lot of good people who work at Tesla. Elon is going to end up putting them all out of work at this rate.
Elon's putting a lot more people than that out of work.
He should sue her, like he did when companies didn't want to advertise on twitter anymore.
I wouldn't want a Tesla even if someone gave me one for free.
I wouldn't get a tesla at any price because I'm now stuck in a tesla ecosystem just like apple users are by and large stuck in the apple ecosystem.
It is not about aligning yourself with anything, it is about doing the right thing for the right reasons for the benefit of our community and neighbors. Personally I wish she'd dismantle and sell it for scrap and donate those proceeds.
Great, except NPR as been somewhat compromised by right wing influence for years. Reagan appointed a conservative to the head the board of NPR.
That was almost 50 years ago. Is it really a conservative outlet? Everything I hear from there seems to be of a pretty reasonably high tier
They've recently (since 2016 or so) have over-corrected after constantly being called "left wing" by Fox News and other bullshit outlets. It's still relatively center, but they walk on eggshells regarding anything that might show perceived liberal bias.
I'd argue that's every even moderately progressive major news outlet these days. Guardian's pretty tame too
Young Turks still proudly progressive and have no problem calling things out for what they are.
I would argue that would mean that they're no longer "moderately progressive."
The Guardian has been suspect ever since Glenn Greenwald showed his true colors.
Oh wow, I'm reading through his wiki page, and he starts off so promising.... how did flip to Fox News to quickly
Dunno. Weird shit.
I'm pretty sure he left the Guardian (or was forced out) shortly after his heel-turn... But still, couldn't help but feel burned. He was one of the two (I believe) journalists that were helping Snowden release his documents in a way that was digestible. What happened?
paranoid thought: someone got some dirt on him, and forced him to be their puppet
That, or he realized how easy and lucrative it is to grift conservatives.
He's gay too, so I think he knows that he can have Fox News and other garbage right-wing outlets parade him around as the token gay. To prove that they "hate the sin, not the sinner" (🤮)
