I guess a lot of billionaires will be on the hook for child support if this passes.

Who could’ve predicted that an AG that is part of the federalist society would go easy on a fellow federalist society member.

Free market is when the government writes blank checks to fix market failures.

And then the Model S came out, and while expensive was still a decent all round car. And I’m sure GM could’ve made it cheaper/better if they went that route.

I think you’re suggesting that I’m proposing that GM would have needed to stop building ICE cars and switching to electric overnight, instead of transitioning as technology and economics allowed instead of what they did now, which was ignore the whole thing until Tesla got successful and playing catch up, first to Tesla, now to BYD.

The Tesla roadster was released in 2008, and electricity has always been cheaper than the equivalent in petrol.

Yeah, it’s so much better to just write checks to failing companies. Obama bailed out GM without any preconditions.

What if instead the government took the equivalent amount of ownership and put them on the path to building EVs? GM could’ve been Tesla without the Musk issue. And the public shares could’ve either been kept by the government, sold on the market later on or turned over to the workers so they could have someone on the board.

None of this is an outlandish phantasy, other countries did similar.

My guess is Trump asked him, or maybe even just told his guys he’d do it without asking Barron. Then Melania found out in the press and said ‘hell no’ to that.

Just shows that nobody in that family actually talks to each other.

Yeah, it’s a fucking joke to assume that guns are a hedge against fascism. They’ll take your guns or shoot you. Maybe there’s some protection in being an organised group in the moment, but if they want to get you they’ll get you.

Slightly more than half of Florida voted for him to be governor, and it was clear he was a piece of shit then.
