I predict this will turn into a debacle for Apple. They clearly can't manufacture their own car on any reasonable timeframe...but if they outsource vehicle production...whats the p…

For all of those who will come here to post outrage - rememer you helped make this happen too!

If you think Trump and/or his army treats this as a defeat, think again. Once Biden is in office, social media companies will become rubber stamps for the establishment or be faced…

The Apple brand is too feminine. Men won't buy an Apple car, no matter how good it is. Tesla has built modern vehicles that still appeal to everyone.

A last gasp of malcontents before the era of permanent $5k/month stimulus + permanent mortgage/rent forbearance begins. Can I get paid in BTC?

600 have already been delivered. Covid caused a disruption in final certification, that's it. The F35 isn't being cancelled, although I predict most comments here will devolve into…

Any surface ship is basically as vulnerable to modern antiship missiles. Aircraft carriers have repeatedly proved their worth since WW2.

The PR industry created around this story is the work of one person, the author of this Wired article.

Tish tosh! This is such an easy problem to solve! Just imprison people for WrongThought. Or deplatform them - thats the same but you don't look like you're in the SS when you do it…

Some time in 2021 the public may have to accept that Covid is never really going to go away. It will be interesting to watch the Democrats be forced to be the ones to force society…

At the crossroads of private currency and alcohol we have the Whisky Rebellion, when early Americans sought to avoid taxation by using liquor as currency. It was crushed.

The armed forces are allowing the overweight to enlist because they can't find healthy recruits in the numbers they demand.

Obesity is 100x worse of a crisis than covid. We do nothing to change obesity or the lifestyle choices that lead to it. We need to have a national dialog about obesity that results…

Yet if we embrace MMT, one might ask why bother taxing anyone? Debt-financed spending would dwarf revenues to the point that they become an administrative burden and a rounding err…
