I have no idea why Tesla thought that the Cybertruck would sell well enough to justify the production numbers.
They should have did the Roadster first instead and then the Cybertruck, both run in 5k lots to meet orders. Making such niche vehicles like it was going to be bought up like an F150 or a Civic is just dumb.
Luigi used a Glock pattern gun and Winchester had a supposedly haunted house.
There is a premise there.
Also Glock sells horse cum. Not sure if that can be tied in, I just want more people to know that they sell guns and horse cum.
You will see stuff in a car, especially out west. Seeing things doesn't really have relevance unless we are talking hundreds of miles per hour. A bike is slower than a car.
As convenience goes, we are talking about using a bike, not going on a train.
As far as comfort goes, a car is more comfortable than a bike. If you disagree, you only know economy cars.
Your income is taxed in payroll taxes, income taxes(federal and sometimes state), and then you are taxed for buying things. That is bullshit.
Personal income shouldn't be taxed unless you make substantially more than the cost of living. Anything over $10m should be taxed at 100% including capital gains and stock awards. If you need more motivation to succeed than $10m a year, you are a lazy parasite.
Where they need to actually tax is businesses. Tax the businesses based on profit and remove the loopholes that allow for tax avoidance abuse schemes that result in a state single digit tax percentage of profits. I would even go so far as to say that the federal taxes on businesses should only apply in interstate and international businesses and only states should be allowed to tax businesses that operate exclusively within the state's borders.
The effects of that tax plan have obvious consequences and they are all beneficial to the people.
If you have never driven through the middle of America, you would have quite the time trying to do so on a bike.
It would be an adventure, to say the least.
Except in terms of speed, safety, convenience, and comfort.
Great exercise, very green, and an experience though.
Maybe in Europe or any other country that has a good or decent passenger rail system.
In America you can't reach a lot of the country by rail and so many things worth seeing aren't reasonably reach with a bike.
Yes, slavery is illegal in America under the 13th amendment, which also allows for unpaid prison labor.
Prison labor isn't free, they still get paid. They don't get paid a "fair" wage, but they do get paid to skirt slavery just barely enough.
Also they cost taxpayers more to keep in prison than if they were abusing welfare and not working and someone else was paid a "fair" wage to do the same work prisoners do.
It would be nice if they were paid a fair wage for their work and were rehabilitated so taxpayers didn't have to subsidize prisoner exploitation for as long, but that would be too "commie".
There also is one in Florida that is a revenue source for a shelter for exotic animals.
Well only 83% of Dems are critical of it. So 54% means a decent amount of Reps are critical, which is more than I would think.
I have an older Dyson stick vacuum that works perfectly fine. The batteries for it are reasonable in the aftermarket, but I got an adapter that lets me use Milwaukee batteries and I have plenty of those. I have only had to replace the catch for the canister. I got it for $20 at Goodwill.
My mother has a Dyson from like 20 years ago that needed like $80 in parts to fix to make it just like new. It just needed the canister latch, after being dropped down stairs, as well as the main hose and the secondary hose.
Are they good vacuums? yes.
Are they bulletproof? No.
Are they reasonable to repair? Mostly, but major parts are expensive, but we are talking about a $$$$ vacuum.
They aren't a Kirby, but they don't cost Kirby money, especially if you buy a Dyson second hand and do a bit of maintenance. For US people, shopgoodwill.com has Dyson's for sale second hand for cheap, like $50 for a stick and under $100 for an upright.
There doesn't exist a means through which a state could grant citizenship because the federal government grants citizenship.
Green cards are the next step below naturalized citizen. So you are looking to establish a process to become a green card holder, or lawful resident. That is, once again, a federal process.
To make a state originated green card would require an act of Congress and a constitutional amendment because granting citizenship or lawful resident status is a power granted to the federal government.
So basically no chance without a major change in voting, like a clean sweep of federal and mid-term elections with a supermajority Dem congress. That would not really result in a state originating green card, but would allow for mass naturalization of illegal immigrants once the appropriate appointments were made. Enacting a state originated green card at that point would just get challenged and would get struck down due to citizenship being granted to the federal government in the Constitution and affirmed by the Supreme Court in Chirac v Chirac.
That's nothing, a lot of kids I went to school with snorted heroin in the bathroom.
A lot of alcoholics put alcohol in inconspicuous containers, like a fast food drink cup, and go about their day like they just have a large coke. My high school banned disposable plastic water bottles because people would drink straight vodka.
If you are finned for drinking in public, you are already a problem and the discovery of drinking leads to more consequences.
So just sitting in a park and drinking beer from a steel water bottle won't get you in trouble until you start yelling slurs at the ducks.
San Francisco, I am disappointed in you for not being the first.
There is a joke about being able to fit one in, but I just can't make it work.
There are, but they aren't as well documented, not that a history of safety means anything as time goes by and we learn or uncover more things(doctors used to recommend bloodletting after all). They can also go to single use vials and remove the need for preservatives at a slightly increased cost per dose.
Though the mercury is at such insignificant doses as you get with thimerosal, you get more mercury eating fish and the form of mercury in thimerosal is not well retained in the body, putting mercury in your body is scary and people are too stupid to understand the difference between methylmercury and ethylmercury or what 0.7mcg/kg per week means.
It is all connections and a box checking for the board and/or CEO.
The CEO can deflect bad outcomes on the consulting company for suggesting doing what the CEO had in mind to do, but didn't have the board's approval.
Corporate consulting is such a giant fucking grift and they are responsible for the enshitification of so much.
Why are there no employees to help you on the sales floor or at the register? The CEO wanted to hit a performance metric to maximize their bonus and brought in a consulting company to advise. The consulting company looked for low-hanging fruit, which is cutting costs in the form of payroll. The CEO dips when there is no meat left on the bone. The next CEO hires a consulting company to maximize the bonus and then you get fake sales to mask a following price increase. CEO dips and the next CEO's consultants gives the consumer a rewards program to harvest data to sell and drive sales through psychological manipulation(See Kohl's cash).
Corporate consultants are horrible people with business degrees looking to harvest marrow from a stripped corpse.
