Yeah I hate insurance as well. The whole concept of it is going to make most hate it. The vast majority have to pay way more in than they get out so that a few can actually benefit. If most actually benefited from insurance the companies would go belly up.

And they have a vested interest in fucking you over.

Yeah he said that SS is a big Ponzi scheme because the what we are collecting now won't pay out the future obligations. Of course not, genius. But what they collect in the future should be close to that.

I read somewhere that anything earned above $175k is exempt from being collected for SS, but if they raised that to perhaps the first $1M, SS would be solvent.
So more taxes are your solution.

Interesting.

It's not that I hate Trump for being conservative, it's that he's not the correct KIND of conservative. I'm a Reagan Republican and all you Trump lovers have lost your way.

Now make way for tax increases and all the mockery towards anyone who wants to cut regulations and bureaucracy! Reagan Republicanism coming through!


I think Irv is a statist who leaned right once upon a time because he was in the military. That's all.

What is selling your Tesla going to do? You have already given Elon your money. Dipshits.

As an aside, his board of directors isn’t too happy with bossman right now. Tesla stock is down 30%.

And if current owners don’t want to be associated with Musk, I would think that’s also hurting new car sales.

Probably not, but I don't think Musk really cares in all honesty.

Anyone know about this?

This is confusingly phrased but the story is that ERROL supposedly had two kids with his own stepdaughter. (And they put Elon's face there to add to the confusion.)

Basically this has nothing to do with Elon other than it happens to be his father that apparently did it.

They are just getting a lot of competitors. Every manufacturer has an EV line now. It's hard to dominate the market when everyone now has some EV car they are pushing.

And honestly I'm not sure the market for EVs is going to continue to grow. I don't think it's going to be an all electric world like Biden and others told us.

If they allowed China to sell their EVs here, they would decimate the competition.
