Once upon a time streamer, constant dreamer, will never own a beamer! Just another person looking for where my puzzle pieces fit...we all come with missing pieces that others complete.
P.S. No...I will not chat on Telegram or WhatsApp...so do not ask.

Tesla, like so many other companies (cough OpenAI cough) are "valued" on vibes. The idea they can hemorrhage money and if they fall over they will be rescued.
The entire market is being propped up by 11 companies that are swapping money to keep the illusion of infinity. Yup...capitalism.

Anything else is pretty much propaganda and disinformation made by those who have a stake in keeping us from that system, i.e. insurance corporations who are profit-driven. I think how the tobacco industry kept us from seeing tobacco bad for many years.

Of the Canadians I talk to, most of them say if it is emergency care or critical care, it is immediate. If it is non-critical or something that is elective, then yes, you're talking a six-month waiting list.

California has no problem paying for things. Let me see here. Earthquakes are a 1 in 20 year thing. I haven't been through an earthquake in 30 plus years. And the fires, well, eh, the fires are just life. California's always burned during a point in the year.

Clean air initiatives are iffy at best. The whole "We plant trees" is PR only. Unless you are into monoculture forests with no plant life or animals...
IF companies cared at all...Flint, Michigan and 1,340 epa superfund sites would not exist. Tis easier to pay the fine then change.

When you have companies posting "Record Profits" in the billions, but cutting thousands to tens of thousands in workforce...I call BS on the economy line. To much short term outlook and only caring about the impossible "line go up infinitely" mantra.

Take a look and the Florida State home insurance program in the...I wana say 80's. Half the premium cost, better coverage, lower deductable's. Sadly DeSantis has made changes pushing people into fly by night programs.

The US cost for medical care has been pushed up also by numerous middle men and "medical managers". Not to mention that other 1st world nations with non-corperate plans have a per patient cost of half ours with better outcomes and a higher life expectancy.

Housing has increased due to a consolidation of major builders over 40 years...we are down to three that control 80% of the market. And construction rate has gone from a house in three months to one in 10+. This is meant to manage supply and push up initial sale price.

Many economists I follow see China's economy as capitalism. But it is more managed and less free wheeling...but that still poses isdues.

China has a different version of capitalism. But its version is also a net negative to society. So, it has to change as it is the harm, everything else is a symptom of the system at large.

Capitalism, as it is, causes harm. The push for AI, Toxification of the environment, wage gaps, insurance and healthcare failures...and on. It is all a symptom of the current issues with this latest iteration of capitalism.

Or, we evolve capitalism to be better and not accept that the status quo is what it is. Monarchies were what they were till they were not. Society changes...though it takes insight to change.

I am not going to, in any way, shape or form, defend a billionaire. Because when you have enough money to purchase your way out of repercussions for your actions, (Couch) Epstein (Cough), you're beyond the rule of law. And if the rule of law breaks down, that's it. Game over.

Well, at the same time, the mean wage of your average 30 to 40-year-old in the United States is $60 to $70,000 a year. So the only way to make wages go up is to limit how high up the greedy people can get their wages.

Right now, this country, the United States has a wage disparity issue where, well, let's look at Tesla. Tesla wants to offer Elon Musk $1 trillion paid out over 10 years. $1 trillion with a T. That is an amount of money that is more than most nations on this planet ever do in a year.

Simply because it is a bunch of greedy assholes promoting other greedy assholes to do greedy asshole things. So the only way to stop it is to limit greed.

See in this I disagree because there's nothing personal about it. The CEO doesn't choose his pay. The Board of Directors sets the pay based on what the shareholders want to pay him. It doesn't involve the employees and actively harms the customers.

You need to tax stock at the time it is granted plus gains. You need to tax loans leveraged on those stocks as the rich take loans out to live then pay in stocks. Or...Cap CEO pay at 2x the top middle management salary.

There are many reasons that, yeah, that saying applies and should not be seen as an "excuse" (Pejorative usage).
I am not sure most males with some learning would count "Get a Nazi associated tattoo" as a boys being boys thing. That is more whisper in the artists ear to give him a care bear.
