    Maybe stockpile on meds also because a lot of the ingredients that are in the vast majority of our medications cannot be grown in the US and we have placed massive tariffs in countries pharmaceuticals obtain such ingredients. Why? Because Donald Trump wants to punish Cambodian villagers by making them buy F150 King Ranch editions.

    If this doesn't make sense to you then ask your party leader to clarify his method to his madness.

    Around 15 years ago I was the admin for an Mobile Device Management (MDM) software that we were going to roll out to the rather large healthcare institution I worked out. Someone in the C-Suite got the impression that we would be able to spy on their text conversations and see their pictures and the entire initiative was killed. It didn't surprise me as the president was known to be a swinger and left his wife for a lady he met in a swinging group. Ironically, one of the detractors had his laptop hijacked by ransomware a couple months later.

    Just another example of the two-tiered rule system. There's the wealthy/powerful, then there's the rest. I think we're all programmed at a basic instinctual level to allow the king of the hill to slide. It's not fair, but if you acknowledge it, you can use it.

    A Tesla "de-badging" event in Seattle


    Held during a protest outside a Tesla retail location in Seattle,
    the event allowed anyone to bring their Tesla for free removal of its Tesla emblem​

    They can't. The values have gone so low that they're upside-down on their loans now. Cybertruck trade-in value is $52k.

    Word on The Street is that the pool of Nazis willing to buy a Telsa Nazi-mobile is pretty small.

    This sounds like a blend of autism and nepo baby if I've ever heard it.

    The inevitable downward spiral of this sad goober is going to be textbook worthy.

    Or he could be America's first trillionaire.

    Really is a coin toss at this point.

    Just because you're rich doesn't mean you aren't an absolute dumpster fire of a human

    TSLA's lead continues to narrow in Q1,

    so did its sales in EU and deliveries

    TSLA will be reporting its Q1 results next week, 4-22-25; should its production data show a 2nd consecutive Q of decline, it'll confirm the downward trend in demand

    You know it. I know it. We all know it.

    Not sure who wins first prize between him, Zuck, and Bezos.

    Our culture and priorities are ****ed up.

    In terms of sociopathy I think Elon blows them out of the water.

    Zuck and Bezos have lived relatively normal lives compared to him.
