H/R Drone: That would be a "Yes" then...

I very much doubt that Tesla is going to outsource its manufacturing for key components. It is going to keep those in house, and it will be expensive in the near future, but they will not have worry about competitors getting cheap access to those components. Too many of the current car companies are focused upon assembling a car; they are not engineering huge advantages in technology or going in new directions.

Tesla is going to have these guys beat for no other reason than they are going to sit on their hands until it is too late. If you want a better explanation, they are going to have engineer their own product and manufacturing of specialty parts. They don't seem interesting in committing to electric cars now and when Tesla is big enough to be mainstream it will still take them 3 to 5 years to get their own product out the door.

If they are bought by an advertiser, they don't have sell the information to someone to use it themselves.

Well we should have someone get a warrant because they have probable cause that crimes are being committed then.

Oh wait, who will police the police? Internal affairs, not really.

How the hell this even gets marks as informative is beyond me.

1. I would love to see the facts that most minimum wage holders belong to middle class households. Especially considering the middle class has been shrinking for years
2. Many businesses that pay minimum wage are doing so because they can get away with it. A great example is Best Buy, I know the poor are not walking in there to $3000 TV with their paycheck.
3. Most people are poor because a significant amount of money totally out of circulation from the general public. With a reduced money supply you have greater poverty

For you naysayers who want to mark down my post, my list has as many facts as the parent, if that tells you anything.

I would say Walking Dead spin-offs galore!

As Disco Stu points out, Disco's growth in the 70's was tremendous and if these trends continue... HHEEYY!!!

6) Apples turns around and buys company with a discount for the debt owed.

Why you ask? The stock at at 10 before today and 20 not that long ago. At 10, the company is 1.43 Billion dollars. So they get the whole thing for 600 million. If they had try to outright buy them, it could have easily cost 2 Billion dollars.

Lucky I don't work for Apple, because that is what I would have done and that would truly be Evil.

Considering they were offering test drives, I fail to see where they are selling a retail motor vehicle, at least at this point in time.

The question, from the above code that a manufacturer or importer cannot be licensed as a vehicle dealer is discriminatory and whether that is beneficial to the public. Depending on the judge and interpretation of the law, if no public good can be established it can be a reason to overturn a law.

He did this in 2008, http://online.wsj.com/articles..., an easy $500 million that no one else would be able to get.

Warren Buffet, a government employee and/or consultant? Please

Warren Buffet has probably one of the few people who has always gotten the best of Goldman Sach's because whenever they really fuck things over, he squeezed them for top of the line deals. Pretty much what Goldman Sach's did to anyone else given half the chance.

We tax whatever we want to tax, there is no magic line that we cannot cross if we don't want too. We can AND DO tax wealth all the time. It is called property taxes. We also have DEATH taxes, or in reality an inheritance tax. To discourage excessive wealth accumulation.

You still pay sales tax, property tax, and any local taxes or fees for stuff like utilities or water, or phone or internet. I mean the "FEDERAL" government is the only one that charges taxes for ANYTHING.

I was going to down vote you but I thought better to reply.

It has been proven time and again that a person on the low end of the scale will spend a greater portion of their salary on day to day purchases than a rich person.

Do you really think if you gave a man like Larry Elison $1000 or $1M or $10M that he is going to run around like a kid in a candy store and spend it on daily needs? Most likely he WILL stick it under his mattress or something similar because at a certain point you don't need more.

Your right gas cars are total non-perishable and never wear-out or need replacement parts, and gasoline can be recycled as well.
