If it's not an abacus, it can't count. Most of the rational people have quit fet due to database failures, update disasters, an incredibly primitive unthreaded discussion format and a contingent of highly abusive individuals. Abusiveness and primitiveness has done for tech forums, too, which is why Kuro5hin has been in death throes for some time.

A community is never stronger than the people who stand behind it and, in sadly far too many cases, the people standing behind the community are crouched down and in hiding.

Wow, I think you've reached damn_registrars levels of making stuff up out of whole cloth. Everything I say underscores disregard for truth? You've moved past strawmen to a comprehensive sort of Dyson sphere of tautology surrounding me now. Let me give you a golf clap. [clap]. Does the sound penetrate this bubble in which you've encapsulated me?
Can I ask where this bubble is going, since you're doing all the driving?

Do you have a theory on what grounds Tesla could use to take the matter to court? Pure vexatious litigation isn't going to work against a target of this size, and it's far from obvious that anything is legally out of order with these assorted state bans.

Were the feds to take an interest, it'd be virtually certain that anything congress put out would supersede the state laws under the usual interstate commerce argument; but they haven't, so that isn't relevant for the moment. If they want to go to court, they'll need some argument about why the laws are legally unsound.

What is interesting, though, is how relatively subtle the changes are. Death and/or ghastly electrical burns? Unpleasant; but likely enough. It's the relatively modest changes to things like personality or perceived energy level that really take some unraveling.

So, other than strawmanning and boorish browbeating in the face of reasoned responses, and projection, do you have anything? Anything at all?

What I actually want is to constrain the Federal government to its original enumerated powers. But the truth doesn't seem to amount to much with you anymore.

What I actually think, not that it amounts to a fart in your thunderstorm of stereotype, is captured nicely here:

Let's stipulate that this is an 80/20 ratio in favor of delegation, and that when we say "delegation", we mean, "what the large-frogskin donors want".
But shag all that. Let's focus on what matters: your strawman collection.

No no, your boss is going to have a word with you about that:

class Greeter {
    public void greet();
}
 
public class HelloWorld extends Greeter {
    @Override
    public void greet() {
        System.out.println("Hello, World");
    }
}
 
public class GreeterFactory {
    public static Greeter getGreeter(String type) {
    if (type == "HelloWorld") {
        return new HelloWorld();
    } else {
        return nil;
    }
}
 
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GreeterFactory theFactory = GreeterFactory();
        Greeter helloWorld = theFactory.getGreeter("HelloWorld");
        helloWorld.greet();
    }
}

Java has a reputation as the New Cobol partly because that's how Sun marketed it, but also because it kinda has the soul of a compliance officer.

Carmen Segarra was either the chick with the fruit on her head, or the one in the Senator's car that was really a submarine. What do I win, coach?

I work so hard, trying to agree with you and bolster your points, and this is the love & affection I get?

No, I don't. For instance, while I don't agree with much of anything BHO does foreign-policy wise, I'm the first to admit it's (a) an NP-complete problem, and (b) absolutely no one else has any clear, simple, repeatable foreign policy framework that is met with general support. But the facts of what I actually think and have said would crash your little ice cream truck.

You just put that actual history down, young man!
There is a narrative that must be pushed, and these pesky facts shall not stand in the way.

I can't. Hence my admission to having been pwned.

Pretty much going to be a U.S. citizen until death, irrespective of the other labels you labor to attach.
