Discipulos haud multos hodie docui propterea quod nonnulli ad scholas suas ire non potuerunt. Hoc vero mane nesciebam, itaque magis apud scriptoriam meam legebam quam soleo, sed exire et alia facere nequiebam. Manent igitur facienda post prandium.

The fact that any Teslas are allowed on the road and that the company has not been shuttered is among the larger if more mundane indictments that the corporate capture of our government is complete
It's easy to discount a lot of Tesla's terrible design choices as funny examples of Musk's idiocy, but there is a reason why cars have standardised gear shifting and mechanical door releases. Every Tesla like this should be pulled from the road permanently
If I had run a thought experiment on “what are the characteristics that would make someone’s accidental, preventable death a national news story with real policy consequences?”, Angelo Chao would be the answer.

Personally, if we are still changing clocks when I’m at an advanced age, I plan to be one of the casualties who dies of exhaustion side effects of it in protest.
