Does that include the judge they arrested?

I cant wait for all the 2nd amendment preppers to fight against this tyranny

I’m sure they’ll get right on that any day now…

I hope your optimism can become reality.

But we thought Trump’s blatant corruption and criminality the first time would be more than enough to keep the Republicans out of power for a few decades…

The real world isn’t binary, bud.

Why does society need to have billionaires?

It doesn’t. In an ideal utopian society there wouldn’t be billionaires.

But, given the reality that billionaires do exist, I’d rather have them using their accumulated wealth on disease curing/prevention than them just sitting on the money or using it to actively fuck over entire populations (like Musk has been doing).

That doesn’t mean Gatws or Buffet are *good billionaires *, it means they are less bad.

Shades of grey exist. Nuance is a real auseful ful thing.

None are preferable.

Yes, that is accepted.

But, given the reality that billionaires do exist, one that spends his money curing diseases is less bad than one who is closing hospitals serving war round populations or actively starving people.

‘He Cannot Be This Stupid’

He’s even more stupid than they are acknowledging.

For those use cases, there’s very little actual learning to be done.

I love that Edison Motors jokes that they chose their name because “we stole Tesla’s idea and made it better”

.

For those that hadn’t heard of them, Edison Motors is building electric (and hybrid) semi trucks after putting down a deposit of Tesla’s semi truck and not seeing any follow-up in more than 3 years.

And it seems like Google’s funding will help advance safer and more modern nuclear plant designs

Hopefully.

But the cynic in me is always concerned when shareholder owned companies are operating something that has the potential to go very wrong very quickly if/when they cut too many corners in the pursuit of that extra 0.5% of profit.

Imagine how much better the company would be if she didn’t have to burn so much of her time and effort on managing and mitigating Musk’s chaos.

Edits can be reverted, articles can be locked.

Sure, but the vandalism has to be identified first. And thar takes time and effort.

Who would take down what is the digital equivalent to the Library of Alexandria?

I can think of a few possibilities

1: peddlers of misinformation

2: people who love the poorly educated and want the misdeeds of their political allies to be forgotten.

3: copyright trolls.

I doubt it’s the engineers who are demanding that this atrocity exist.

There’s also free and open source alternatives.

What happened to freedoms in America? It’s easy for a government to strip them after the people stop believing in them being important.

Add to that how much more difficult (and time consuming and expensive) it is to build/rebuild than it is to destroy and you’ve got a real problem on your hands.

That’s why I choose open source whenever I can.

Chromium isn’t as problematic as Chrome.

Clarkson’s Farm. And until recently, The Grand Tour.

Can’t think of any others from the last few years.

Keep digging, “Leon”.
