Driving sucks ass no matter how empty the roads are.

Living things > inanimate objects.

We’ve destroyed their habitat, so they have to go somewhere.

Sounds like a deal.

Woz himself has said as much.

That’s why I said:

That’s some bullshit someone says when…

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t give a shit about the contentedness of any of these treasure hoarding shitdragons, but there never has been and never will be a person who is fine with getting ass fucked out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Even Muskrat is throwing an endless tantrum and fucking up people’s lives over a bad deal, even though he did it to himself on purpose.

’s not like he was cut out of the game, he just wasn’t interested in money or success the way Jobs was.

You really buy that? That’s some bullshit someone says when they got fucked over and know they’ll lose and come out worse if they try to get what’s rightfully theirs.

Tesla sure as fuck would not be Tesla without his leadership.

You’re right, it wouldn’t; it would almost certainly be a better company.

Musk got Tesla where it is financially entirely through blatant fraud. “Earning” the company’s absurd valuation based almost entirely on dishonest promises of releasing a technology that is entirely unachievable, undesirable, and dangerous is an unsustainable business model, and it’s already showing cracks.

The fact that you seem to think that being highly profitable through constant ethical violations in every aspect of the company is to viewed as a succsess is honestly pretty gross.

Being a succsessful businessman does not make one a good businessman. Half of the equation is ethics, because it fucking matters.

A successful businessman with bad ethics and an unsuccsessful one with good ethics are both bad businessmen.

The only good businessman is one who both succeeds and has good ethics.

That’s a weird thing to assume. It’s not that uncommon for very well off people to drive beaters for daily use.

Next you can get involved with politics.

Sorry, I have to actually work for a living to keep a fucking roof over my head and food on my table. I literally couldn’t make the time if I tried, and I sure as shit don’t have the money.

After that maybe donate some money and so on…

What money? I live in America, where the overwhelming majority live paycheck to paycheck and struggle just to get by.

And who should I give it to? Some limp dick lobbying group pushing for glacially incremental change and that no one in government gives a fuck about? Hard pass.

But sure, keep blaming the victims and jerking off the villains. I’m sure it’ll all work out great for you.

Unless you expect people to start murdering oil executives and climate denier politicians, you’re wrong. Teslas and paper staws are never going to make a difference, because consumer-level pollution isn’t the problem.

What reason is there not to be defeatist? We already fucking lost decades ago.

False optimism is as toxic as unjustified defeatism. Be realistic.

We can’rt do shit. The only things rhat could potentially have any meaningful impact are government regulation or the killing of CEOs and big investors en masse, and neither one is going to happen.

A hell of a lot better than some worthless cunt pretending to give a fuck about me while exploiting my time and labor for as little in return as possible.

What an incredibly stupid take.

I don’t need to have a solution to see when something is broken.

The mistake you’re making is thinking that long-term effects are a concern in capitalism. They aren’t. The point is for the people at the top to make as much money as possible in as short a time as possible, keep milking the corpse until it rots, then fuck off with your money.

Capitalism is alive somewhat functional.

If you seriously think having 2/3 of the working population living paycheck to paycheck, even people with desirable degrees and traditionally well-paying jobs, is “somewhat functional,” I don’t know what the fuck to tell you besides you’re really fucking wrong.

About half the population already owns a home so they’re immune to this problem.

Don’t forget, many of those people won’t be alive much longer, and many of their houses will not be passed on to family, but sold off to pay off debts owed by their estates, and will end up as more overpriced rental properties.

And they’ll be correct once the currents in the Atlantic collapse in the 30’s.
