Avoiding American goods is fairly easy and not very impactful. Avoiding American services is where it’s at.
My six year old niece on her first day of school after riding with my wife all afternoon the previous day.
My neck, my back
Lick my pu…
The teacher:
If I was earnestly blaming Obama, I wouldn’t have purposely phrased it and typed it the way I did.
I was too subtle and it didn’t land. It happens.
Sure. That’s why I put it in quotes AND italics. Let’s also ignore the context that Elon is once again begging the federal government to save his ass.
The joke didn’t land. I’ll take that L.
Did everyone really forget about the “Thanks Obama” joke? Anyway, I clarified my point in the edit.
Everything SpaceX is doing and has done could have been done by NASA had NASA been given the equivalent funds and leeway. This has been covered multiple times in many interviews of NASA scientists and engineers. Simply put, NASA cannot afford and is not allowed to take risks. They are not allowed to blow up ships over Florida and the Caribbean until they figure it out. They used to be allowed, but not anymore.

Why do kill switches when you can just hog all the work of maintaining some critical part of the infrastructure and make it’s functioning and maintenance so opaque and impenetrable that the employer can’t replace or fire you without their shit catching fire soon after.
This is literally my firm’s core business practice. We’ve been at it for so long that at this point we have to be included in competing bids because we are the only ones in the world that can do certain specific things.
If you really hate Elon Musk, I have two words for you. “Thanks Obama”
Every single aspect of Elon’s “success” has been heavily subsidized or paid for by the US government (aka, tax payers).
EDIT: It seems the “Thanks Obama” meme has fallen into obscurity. It is an older joke in which everything was blamed on Obama, no matter how far fetched. I even used italics.
The point of my comment is that Elon is the biggest “welfare” beneficiary in history. All of his businesses would be a financial failure without billions of dollars in grants, benefits and contracts from the government, and that he’s been sucking on that government teet since Obama was in office. In fact, it was Obama who saved Tesla, hence the 'Thanks Obama" joke. Even Obama is aware and why the crashing Teslas scene is in the Netflix movie he produced. Now Elon is looking for federal assistance to block his competition.
The only thing I can say is that when you are distributing negativity, however you choose to manifest it, make sure that it is your dad, the cheater, that gets the lion’s share of the shit. The GF deserves some too given that she went into this knowingly, but the real asshole is always the cheater.
So traitorous GOP doing traitorous GOP stuff by weakening the US worldwide. Understood.
100%. American billionaires…and one South African because the illegal immigrant label doesn’t apply to white people.
I am so proud that my country is actively starving people and denying them medical care around the world, just like at home. Spreading the American way!
(do I really need to add the /s?)
…unless its very obscure stuff.
That’s primarily why you’d be ripping stuff. There is so much stuff only available on VHS and DVD.
I do not need reasons, I need ways.
They do.
Oh my god I haven’t seen Guy in years! He’s such a wonderful guy (heh). I think our last interaction was on Google’s G+. 😳
EDIT: Wow, that was a good panel.
The headline does not do Justice to the words from J.P. Morgan’s chief economist.
