I may own a Tesla but I'm excited for BYD to just crush Tesla as a company.
I'm reminded of similar discussions about taxpayer funded college. Which when you look at the numbers show college graduates fully pay for it with how much more they pay in taxes and then some. I want my taxes to fund schools, food, and housing. Not killing children.
I'll take Republicans over liberals/classic Democrats because at least they'll tell me they hate me to my face. That's easier to fight against than the liberals saying any real change is too hard, before using minorities as a shield arguing if I don't vote for them I'm hurting minorities.
Personally I'd like to avoid gun fights in the streets between civilians and federal agents. We may not be there yet but the longer those in power do basically nothing except strongly worded letters and give speeches the closer we get.
In regards to ICE, politicians have the most power to do something that avoids things getting a lot more violent. Those who choose inaction now are passing the choice to act on to those who have few options left besides violence.
I've never been so excited for the economy to crash as I am for the crash that will follow the AI bubble finally bursting.

Sewer rave? Where!?
I'm reminded of the video out of Seattle I think of a man wearing a Nazi arm band getting punched in the face. Feels like an effective way to make someone not want to wear a Nazi arm band in public.
Looks like someone is trying to organize a US general strike!
