Meh, they’re basically living tourist attractions these days with no more political power than a movie star.

The “rich city” in my area constantly vote against improving public transit. They don’t want “the poors” to be able to get there easily. Never mind that they have a shopping mall that obviously pays minimum wage jobs…

Nah, how about we just keep buying bigger vehicles? As long as my car is bigger than the other guy’s, I’m safe!

Half the military and technology assets that won’t ever actually be used to help NATO under Trump.

He’ll veto every action that goes against Putin… Which is what NATO was originally formed to do…

Honestly I don’t think it’s really due to Elon hate. Sure people might not like him there much but it’s not nearly as intense as the left/right divide in the US.

The real reason is that in Europe they aren’t banning Chinese cars outright, so they have to compete against Chinese cars that are amazingly advanced for the price.

Anyways I’m sure Tesla’s plan to drop the $25000 model is working out just fine.

Do immigrants even like other immigrants? They’re basically competition

It’s less the issue of opening the door, and more the problem of having a fucking nutjob running around inside your plane

Hey guys, I think I saw some things that have, like, fangs and horns and stuff. Do you… Do you think there might be demons? In a DOOM game?

No no, no attack on Canada. Just military exercises at the border

So what does this version of office actually do that my ancient copy of office 2003 doesn’t, besides bog things down?

Because they present amazing value (at Chinese prices) and really advanced battery technology.

There were some actual torpedoes that used miles-long wire to control

They can describe themselves again. I suppose that could be considered cultural restoration?

We are putting tarrifs on stuff we buy from you, because you make too much money on us. But we are going to remove tarrifs from the stuff that we buy from you, because we need them.

Because their CEOs attended his dinner and bribed him.

The real reason?

Apple, Intel, and other execs bribed him during an overpriced dinner.

This whole tariff thing has nothing to do with the country or international relations or manufacturing or whatever.

It’s just his latest personal grift. He just now has the power to say “every CEO in the world must personally give me a bribe or I’ll continue doing some really stupid shit.”

And I hope Canada can manage to find stronger trade partners with everyone else, especially the EU

It’s USAdian

On one hand, unmanned airplanes (drones or remote controlled) will outfly anything with a human on board, because humans are generally the weakest part of the plane. No human = no cockpit or life support, no hatch, no windows, no ejection seats, etc. An equivalent drone plane will be lighter, more structurally sound, and can maneuver at g-forces that will kill a human pilot.

That’s the hardware side of things, of course.

The software and information security is definitely not there yet… But I’m sure Elon thinks it’ll be ready “next year” just like Full Self Driving…

Despite the shitty pay and working conditions of Amazon workers, as far as I can tell, Santa doesn’t pay his elves at all Bezos may actually be the better option here.
