Politicians with crazy blond hair are FUBAR machines.

Banks are financial infrastructure. If they break, they take lots of businesses and customers with them. I'm okay with lone failures, but banks have lots of hooks.Please don't gamble with infrastructure!

Yet the world's average inflation goes around 5%

Economists don't run govt's, moronic politicians do, and moronic voters vote them in place.

It'll be at least half of that in ten years.

The Zoomers have no interest in cable TV.

> Why not just build the proper infrastructure with what we know works?

I tried to do this locally. The government allows the pole owner (electric or telephone usually) to charge $50/mo/pole to the startup that wishes to hang wires.

The owner pays $5/mo in property taxes to the town.

There are exceptions for large corporations that are in the state's good graces.

It's just to keep competition limited to the cartel.

Short answer: corrupt government.

This was my first thought as well.

Such marketplace confusion!

This factory flew. Go USA!

NPR: "We asked them for this interview, but neither responded by the deadline."

They are "personal helicopters", period.
 

Reality ain't popular. It's why politicians lie their asses off.

If this were the case they would not permit manual selection of the rapid acceleration mode.

A guy I knew had an early Model S.

When he wanted to impress me with the acceleration he tapped a couple settings on the screen to put it into Ludicrous Mode

This was around 2013 or so.

I'm not seeing how this is a problem.

I have a V6 and a V8 truck and both need a manual low gear selection to take off like a rocket. OK, the V6 not so much but the V8 can spin the rear tires in 2WD mode.

I don't let the average drivers in my life use it.

They would hit a tree if they were given a Tesla that was always in Ludicrous Mode.
