The fact that Elon is going to help Trump gut all of our federal agencies makes me sick to my stomach. Trump winning the election is like a terrible nightmare that I can't wake up from.

If only we had the technology to put cars on metal tracks, oh and we could add power lines so that electric cars wouldn't need batteries. Hmm, next we could link the cars together so that only the first car has to overcome wind resistance
If I were a narcissist like Trump then I would love to be the President: I could set up all my family and friends with 7 figure jobs, I'd buy a hotel and then force the SS to rent out the entire building at 10x the normal rates, I could spend most of my time golfing, I could chat with my buddy Putin on the phone every day, etc.
Are there shitty parts to the job? Sure, but is it better than being a powerless wage slave to a soulless corporation? Absolutely yes.
Starting wars with allied nations (China) just because they have a semi-socialist economy seems fairly fascist to me.

Blame capitalism. Capitalism creates massive wealth disparity and since you can't detangle wealth from political power, it creates massive power disparities. Those power disparities are used by the rich to slowly ratchet the government and society further and further to the right.
The idea that democrats would abandon their base and try to flip republicans was idiotic beyond belief.
It is what the capital class ordered her to do. We will never get politicians who fight for us until we ban Super pacs, paid lobbying, and all the other ways that the 1% bribe and manipulate our politicians

Calling it poorly designed is a massive understatement. The manual release is a wire that is hidden behind a hidden panel. A guy made a video showing how to do it and he struggled to do it despite having practiced a few times in advance. The chance of pulling it off while the car was on fire would be very, very low
