The thing is that the current trade market is built around a carefully planned and organized supply chain that took decades to assemble. From factories to shipping, even in a best case scenario, it would take at least 10 years to create a fully domestic supply chain, as Trump dreams it.

US Senate committee opens review into Meta’s efforts to gain access to China | CNN Business A US Senate investigative subcommittee opened a review on Tuesday into efforts by Facebook parent Meta Platforms to gain access to the Chinese market and is seeking documents from the company.

Zuck is gonna quickly find out that Trump is loyal to no one, regardless of how much he kissed his ass.

When Elon Musk says he feels Democrats are an existential threat to the country and humanity, what he is actually feeling is that Democrats are an existential threat to his companies and thus fortune.

It would be politically insane for any Democrat in the future to work with SpaceX or Tesla.

He knows this.

Thus the only viable path forward at this juncture is to ensure that Democrats never win elections again, by whatever means necessary.

The issue for Musk's companies is that he has aligned himself so deep with Trump, it will be impossible for any subsequent Democrat-led government to work with either Tesla or SpaceX on any government contracts.

The huge majority of SpaceX contracts are with the government, from NASA or the DOD.

Pretty sure all these companies keep all the data you tell them to delete.

The “delete all my data” button is like the “close door” button in an elevator: It’s there as a placebo.

These people are like far right Fox News hosts. One is forced out and another worse one takes their place.

Given how Musk has aligned himself with a faction that is actively hostile towards Canada, it more than makes sense for them to pursue EVs with Tesla’s only credible competitor.

…and tell yourself “I miss Zoom…”

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of screwups happening on a daily basis we’ll never hear about.

The battles were expertly staged and depicted. Can’t say the same about the rest…

Meanwhile they freak out when a canada threatens to cut electricity New York depends on

This is a big self own.

I’d argue it also adds a different kind of artistry and strategy.

This is the party the Democrats should become.

Correction: Great Recession, not Depression. 🫣

The Tea Party saw the gradual purge replacement of establishment GOP congress members (Reaganites) with the overtly racist and generally wackjob MAGA conservatives that are in Congress today.

Today we are beginning to see calls to purge of neoliberal Dems (Clintonites) that will reshape the party.

Democratic Party hits new polling low, while its voters want to fight Trump harder Unlike in Trump’s first term, Democratic voters say 2-to-1 they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise, even at the risk of not getting things done, per the NBC News poll.

What we are seeing now is a shift in the Democratic Party similar in fervor to the rise of the Tea Party in 2010.

Back then the GOP base felt lost and betrayed after the disaster GW Bush wrought with the Iraq War and Great Depression. It led to the reform of the party which culminated led to MAGA.

Anecdotes about the Statue of Liberty Anecdotes about the Statue of Liberty

Well… survey conducted around the Statue of Liberty’s 100th anniversary in 1986 found that only about 2% of Americans knew the statue was of French origin.

Likely even lower today given the decline of education quality across the US.

That’s magical

This is a big issue with furthering both progressive views and spreading truth over lies.

According to a study in 2023, only 22% of Americans pay for newspaper outlets. Consider that that number is probably lower today as affordability has decreased significantly in the past 2 years.

Sadly, majority of the voting population has an ability to ignore things like mass school shootings.

I don’t have much hope stories like these would sway voters.

BERNIE

The more they push against it, the bigger the protests will get.

When you name your whole line of cars to say “S 3 X Y” and follow it up with this picture.

Damn.

Tesla is done in Germany: 94% say they won't buy a Tesla car A survey of over 100,000 Germans revealed that 94% won’t buy a Tesla vehicle. It doesn’t bode well for the...

It is a real shame given that it used to be one of the strongest American products in Europe. It is ceding the market to BYD and European EVs

And probably the last.

Ah… that timeline where Hillary doesn’t run in 2016 and Bernie beats Trump in a landslide…
