  • I think it’s trash because it starts with the “story” being “someone said this outrageous thing on a podcast”. Then the “both sides” counter argument is from actual medical professionals and people who have a clue.

    Typically, journalism frames an issue and then covers some counterpoints to give some nuance. This time, they (bewilderingly) accept conspiracy theory nonsense as their story (when it shouldn’t have been written in the first place), then the sanity comes in as though it’s a counter point.







  • It’s tied to company stock performance. He’s only getting a trillion if he brings Tesla to like an 8 trillion dollar valuation, which seems pretty unlikely given his weird behaviour, their broken PR, and their weird valuation for years. Oh, and the competition heating up in the EV sector.

    But to answer the question asked: those people who could go on strike have a few shares or options in TSLA, so if Elon hits that insane target, they all stand to make millions themselves.

    That, and they knowingly and willingly work for a nazi that doesn’t care about them. I don’t think there’s anything he could say or do that would make them rethink their career path.

    I first saw this each time Bush was elected. So many people vowed to move to Canada if that bastard got elected.

    Then the bastard got elected. And Canada reported like a tiny spike in traffic to their immigration information website. I think actual applications were up a statistically insignificant amount.

    I guess it’s like the difference between filing for bankruptcy and Declaring It, Michael.


  • Ultra low speed limit signs always make me laugh.

    My car has an analog speedometer and the first number is 20. The best speed they’re going to get from me, especially driving up a ramp in stop-and-go traffic is “less than 20”.

    I used to live in an apartment building where they just posted a speed limit sign that said “DEAD SLOW”. My friend got a complaint letter from strata that he was speeding. He replied that “dead slow is a nautical term meaning a ship must travel in such a way that they don’t lose the ability to steer. I was not operating a boat and my ability to steer was never in question.” They gave him a “warning” and said the actual speed limit is 10; though that wasn’t on any sign nor ever written anywhere.
