You’re right, torture doesn’t work

Which would make a whole lot of sense as it has an influence on the whole race if some of the cars are out of spec…

Interesting, the basement ceiling must be pretty far outside the ground otherwise that requires a pretty deep hole! Around here is usually 6’ deep compared to ground level with ~2’ above ground and a slab with only the main drain under the slab…

Oh, crawl spaces are pretty rare further north because you need to be under the freezing level of the ground anyway so people have basements.

So you want a basement on dirt? So you can’t use the space for anything?

Call it libertarian all you want, it’s still the neoliberal stance, Trump just came and “switched things around” because he thinks of himself as anti establishment but the only thing he’s managed to do so far is reduce the number of jobs created and reduce the US workforce.

And since you call yourself a libertarian, you’re off to the block list because I don’t need people like you in my life.

Buhbye!

So you just chose to ignore most of what I said and focused on “it costs me less right now, fuck you, I’ve got mine”

It was never about making things cheaper for people like you and me, it was always about making more profit by producing things with cheap labor and selling them for the same price.

Globalization was the right wing agenda of the 80s and 90s! You must just be too young to remember it.

Today we’re paying for it, one country elects an idiot and it fucks the supply chain for the whole world. Pandemic? Same thing. We don’t produce what we need locally so we’re dependent on the political will of other countries.

Hell, why do you think the US spread its military influence all over the world and spends so much on defence? To protect its monetary interests that depend on a global economy. If it had kept local jobs instead it would save a fortune!

Don’t talk as if you hate the right when you are clearly defending the neoliberal agenda.

Yeah, against the thing that lead the Western world to be dependent on China and to lose most of its manufacturing capacity and that lead to the disappearance of the middle class.

Maybe you’re too young to realize that back in the 80s and 90s some people were wise enough to understand that if the rich people on the right were fighting for it, it wasn’t good for regular folks.

You’re not concerned about the people around you that won’t be able to afford anything? You’re not concerned about the cost for society? You’re not concerned about the fact that you’re exporting jobs to another country that is now a monopoly that can just increase prices however it feels like because it’s clients don’t have any alternatives? You’re not concerned about a country you depend on turning around and becoming your enemy?

If you’re not concerned about any of that you don’t understand much of the world around you buddy.

If you looked at my comment history you’ll see that I mentioned that contrary to the person I’m talking about, my opinions aren’t shared in mainstream media. She can have all the opinions she wants and share them, I don’t give a crap about that, I’m concerned when mainstream media starts giving importance to the opinion of people who have no expertise on a subject.

Even then, with global trades comes the environmental impact of transporting goods all over the world. It’s not normal to expect the whole world to have access to the same things, it’s not normal that I can purchase a pineapple in Canada, especially not in the middle of winter. All regions of the world would be better served by focusing on local and adjacent productions. Hell, China understood that, they don’t rely on the rest of the world for their shit, they mostly produce what they need and export surplus and are laughing their way to the bank.

They’re cheaper as a dumping strategy to make us reliant on China after all local manufacturing is gone, just like China did for everything else.

Globalization lead to all the bullshit we’re currently living, good jobs left for Asia, people can’t afford housing. Yay globalization! If you want to keep local jobs you can’t be in favor of globalization.

Why is the alternative to Tesla on here is always “Chinese EV” when traditional manufacturers exist and make better products? We don’t want Chinese dumping their cars and leading to the loss of even more manufacturing jobs in North America and Europe.

Fucking hell, the fight against globalization truly was for nothing, people these days are even defending it against their best interests…

Yeah, OP must not spend much time around teenagers

Conflicts of interest and professional sport pretty much go hand in hand anyway

Eh…

45k and up for a model 3

A Bolt is under 30k

It was a reply to OP saying they were so happy their parents were able to buy a new car for the first time in 30 years. They were able to buy one way before that, they just wanted a luxury car, I would have said the said thing if it had been a Mercedes or a Cadillac.

Sure, but if you’re getting rid of it out of principle then the next owner will at least be someone who doesn’t mind Musk.

In 2018 he called that diver a pedo.

Neuralink was founded in 2016.

You need to have a pretty old Tesla in order to have bought it before Elon made it clear he’s a moron.

It’s still money going to them every time you need parts though
