"The problem is when we hand trillions to the 1% and they use it to buy up everything and rent it back to us."

I can see the next depression being caused by this. The wealthy buy up nearly all property and rent it back to the poor and middle class. Over time rent gets out of hand and too many people become homeless or live out of tents in the woods. This continues until a breaking point and everything falls apart.

I'm pretty sure the consensus here is that gig driving is a scam that pays poorly and takes advantage of most drivers. And that was while those driver's incomes were being subsidized by the service. If those jobs are eliminated, I think most would agree that it would be a good thing.

Its not like anyone can say gig driving is their heritage...

"My great grand daddy was a gig drivers back in the depression. Then my grandpa was a gig driver in WWII delivering rations to soldiers in the Pacific. My dad delivered the first McD chicken nuggets. And I started gig work in '94 delivering Kenny Rogers Roasters and Steak and Ale in my Saturn. Derka der."

"Speed limits are merely a suggestion."

So, they never hand out speeding tickets in Phoenix?

What ethics are they violating?
Do you think self driving cars are too dangerous for the road?
Or do you think self driving cars are taking jobs away from humans and that makes them unethical?
Or is there some other reason this is unethical? Just saying this idea "lacks ethics" without any context doesn't help make anyone believe its true.

How does being drunk imply you stole something that otherwise wouldn't be considered stolen if you were sober. And honestly, isn't one of the greatest potential benefits of self driving cars is they can transport people otherwise unfit to drive themselves like the disabled, the intoxicated, and other unlicensed individuals?

If I were going to do a huge crime like that, I'd not wear my own clothes. I'd go to multiple thrift stores and buy used clothes with cash to make it harder to track me down via sourcing. I'd also get shoes that were slightly too big/small, cut/dye my hair, apply fake tattoos, wear fake earring or nose stud, etc. Then after the crime I'd destroy those clothes and hope authorities are looking for someone who doesn't even match me.

So... If you found the tie "I" was wearing during the scene of the crime and analyzed it, you'd likely figure out info related to its previous owner.

If you ever watch any cold case files or similar shows, many people get caught due to the fact they keep the murder weapon or clothes they wore while committing the crime. They leave fuzz from their jacket, footprints from shoes with odd wear, hats with hair in them, etc. If you're going to leave the police clues, be sure they a misleading clues and don't track back to you. And I think most can agree, D.B. Cooper did a pretty good job of NOT leaving useful clues for law enforcement to find.

Also, didn't India just go to the moon?

Has SpaceX left LEO yet? I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be on Mars 5+ years ago at this point.

"Hyperloop would be cheaper than conventional high-speed rail"

He also said the Tesla Semi would be cheaper than rail in 2017 with production starting in 2019. Now its a week from 2024 (5-7 years later) and the only thing Tesla Semis are delivering are potato chips; and beyond a few test vehicles, it has yet to go into production. And any real specs around the test vehicles has been shrouded in secrecy.

Musk started X which merged with another company to form PayPal. At best, he was one of many who made PayPal happen.

They dominate blowing up large spaceships, for sure.

I can't wait for the Thunderf00t video on this. He loves to debunk things like this and especially when Musk grossly overpromises or claims to have invented 100 year old tech.

It makes you wonder if the Boring Company is next?

So massive amounts of nearly free (fusion or whatever) energy would be a win for humanity. What an excellent observation!

Tesla will have it available next year!

"Would you trust GM with computers when they can't even remote update their cars"

I'd prefer my vehicle to NOT have remote update capabilities. I want to control when and how modifications to my vehicle are performed. The last thing I want is a forced reboot that goes wrong while on the middle of a roadtrip 1000 miles from home.

Why do you want to limit my right as a consumer to purchase devices as I see fit?
