They might be able to avoid it. If they don’t listen to their economists they won’t bailout their fail businesses. In which case they will bounce back quickly.
If they listen to their economists and give free government money to their banks yeah they will be screwed.
Right wing conservatives and similar authoritarians - if developing into fascists - usually ditch religion at some point of that journey for practical reasons …
They aren’t ditching religion, they’re making their own with a new idol. And I’m guessing many of them don’t even realize what they’re doing - they probably still think of themselves as Christians. This is the power of Trump’s grifting.
This is how many new religions get going ironically. The key is that right now it’s a cult. It has to get out of cult status by opening up and appealing to the masses. You can see that Scientology has that problem, it’s grown but it’s not open to everyone and it still acts like a cult. It’ll be an ~~interesting ~~ terrifying hundred years if it continues…
Aren’t we glad that none of those kids sat their quietly taking it, waiting for years, found the adult’s address, every few years show up to their home.
When my family moved to another state in the 1990s, I ended up at a high school that desperately wanted to talk my parents into signing the permission slip for corporal punishment. The principal and assistant principal got involved and were very pushy.
Finally Dad told them, with a heavy sigh: “You’re trying to tell me you need to hit someone who is more mechanically inclined than anyone I’ve ever known, and yet is just as vindictive, rebellious, and angry as any other 14 year old boy. He will retaliate, and it will be very expensive and difficult to prove.”
My partner needed to buy a new vehicle. A Tesla Model was easily in budget. But they opted not to buy one because they want zero affiliation with Musk or any connotations that they may endorse his behavior by owning one of his products.
Oh no doubt that was also a big factor, but even if they were well built high quality cars, it would still be a non-starter as long as Elno has anything to do with the company.
I really enjoy our Model 3 and Model Y. After renting an ID.4 for a week in Norway I find that the Tesla setup is a lot more “no nonsense” than other OEMs.
For example the ID.4 has many “safety” features that help center the car in the land if it detects that you are leaving the road. In Norway that have very narrow roads and you often have to pull over to the shoulder (far past the lane edge) to let a car pass.
To turn those settings off in an ID.4 I had to dig through a menu and disable them every time I get into the car. Every. Time.
Tesla’s UI experience is much more like a smart phone with persistence like one would expect. Like or hate the form factor, the infotainment on Tesla’s are done about as well as you can with a giant touch screen in my opinion.
I really fucking loath Musk these days though and wish he would be ousted from Tesla.
Not really fair to compare the ID.4 against your Teslas. The Audi Etron on the other hand has a far superior infotainment system compared to the Tesla and none of the issues from the base model VW.
I’m not accusing of intentionally comparing apples to oranges, but given the price brackets you made a really terrible argument.
Strange. We’ve got a 2019 SR+, 70k miles and it’s been flawless. I’ve only replaced the tires and the updates have actually added features. Y’all need to stop reading some of these anti-ev articles. You will always have a minority of vehicle owners complaining about whichever one they bought. Tesla isn’t any worse than others. Hell, here’s a recall from Dodge and they’ve been building vehicles a lot longer. www.msn.com/en-us/autos/…/ar-AA1f5hb4
I hear a range of issues with Teslas that mostly come down to shoddy manufacture.
Either way all cars are bad, EV or no, and only collective transport solves any of our problems. Short term, buying a used gas vehicle is still less harmful to the environment.
It’s the ultimate example of the dog catching the car. People took the right to choose for granted and the conservatives used is solely as a campaign tool to raise money. Now that that people have woken the fuck up they’re realizing how harmful abortion bans are to a women’s health and how demeaning it is to say that women can’t make their own decisions when it comes to their own body. The Dobbs decision have put Republicans in an impossible position and are almost certainly going to cost them elections statewide and federally for the foreseeable future.
My understanding from a school administrator that uses it in their school is the parent has to sign off on it. I don’t agree with it in the least and believe corporal punishment has very limited if any evidence of being good at modifying behavior. Psychology has come a long way since all we knew was to beat the crap out of kids when they step out of line.
My grandmother was an amazing woman who devotes her life helping others. She was a nurse who also volunteered at old folks homes in her free time, and she donated to many good causes. She loved the teaching of Jesus. Her dad was a WWII vet, and she cared deeply about treating others with love and charity.
She passed away over a decade ago, and while I still don’t like the idea that she’s gone, I’m happy that she never had to see this all of this happening. She would have been absolutely crushed.
Sadly her being crushed might be the best case scenario. Imagine how crushed YOU would be if the propaganda weaseled its way to turning her into a trumper.
I don’t mean to disrespect her memory though. Somebody that good who actually gives of themselves rather than just hanging up crosses and American flags, would probably be one of the millions who did not buy all the recent right wing crap.
I assume they’re only referring to when abortion was voted on by itself, not when it was a package deal with a politician (since pretty much all Republicans are gonna be anti-choice).
Because these sheep vote for a letter next to their name. But an issue on a ballot may be backed by them but it doesn’t have a letter itself, so people actually turn into individuals a bit more
Just happened in Ohio. If there were a candidate called “R-issue 1” he would have won with 53% of the vote. But since it was just “Issue 1” and it affected people, they struck it down 43-57 for-against
I know someone that works there - they had an internal ticket cut to their manager for not coming into the office 3 days a week. Their manager knew nothing about it and wasn’t expecting it at all. Pretty dumb that they’re saying it makes employees more productive when they had their record profits while everyone was working from home in 2020/2021.
‘Sherri Tenpenny, an osteopathic doctor who says she’s been researching for 21 years vaccine adverse events, testified before a legislative committee this week that people can stick keys, spoons and forks to their foreheads after getting the coronavirus vaccine possibly because they’ve been magnetized.’
Yeah keys are brass or nickel and brass. Both are non-ferrous.
It is irrelevant, but some (not all) of my keys here in Germany are magnetic. I know because I have a magnet board for my keys to hang on. That being said, she’s fucking crazy. It’s a simple test that you can disprove… and if this was true, oh God what MRI machine would do to someone. If they were so strongly magnetic that things could stuck to the, they would be torn apart.
Was going to get an MRI on my brain, but was worried about the steel clip that was used for my vasectomy. The tech said, “Just let us know if you feel anything tingle once you get in the room.” I literally walked into the room with both hands firmly on my junk, knowing full well that it wouldn’t change anything.
Long story short, the metal clips they use are non-ferrous. :)
“Following Sunday prayers, Sheikh Ron al Dee’santiz issued a fatwah against the Barbie Movie, decrying it as ‘against the law of Abraham’ and ‘promoting deviant Western concepts around women, homosexuality and the place of Yahweh in our lives.’”
