I think the Tesla Model X is supposed to be in the 30-50k range, down from the Model S 50-80k bracket. I'd say we're well on the way to electric cars competing with mid level cars.

I'm from the US and I can assure you some of us know what cold is. Upstate NY goes from -30F to 105F and everything in between. There are definitely colder places but a normal winter here is 5-10F for months.

Do you really want them voting though? I'm serious. You should care about them learning about the options more than whether or not they vote. An uniformed vote is far worse than a vote not cast.

In which case they would be receiving a form of public insurance. My issue with your post was that it came off sounding like your neighbors health doesn't affect you and therefore government shouldn't be involved with healthcare. But it sounds like we are pretty much on the same page after all.

Until your neighbor can't afford to give their kid a vaccine, and your kid gets a disease and dies because he was one of those that the vaccine doesn't work on.

Funny thing is, Dragon is orders of magnitude safer than the Shuttle and probably safer than Apollo. It has the ability to abort from the rocket at any time.

And forced him out of office, don't forget about that.

Or Goldman Sachs, oil is priced based on the futures market, not supply and demand.

The moon has been moving its orbit out since it was created....

Actually it kind of does. The elastic clause gives some leeway there but in the initial view of the country the federal government was supposed to be merely a unifying force bringing together a number of independent states. After the Civil War the power balance shifted to the federal government over the states.

The three-fifths compromise was in the Constitution along with the guarantee that slave imports would be illegal after twenty years (I forget the exact wording)

I wish I still had mod points. This might be the most concise argument I've ever seen on the topic.

So keep it in the trunk and tell the cops they don't have permission to search the car?

I wish I had mod points.

Depending how high you are, a short burn such that you intersect with the atmosphere and let friction bleed off the rest of your energy.
