DOGE employee cuts fall heavily on agency that regulates Musk’s Tesla
Well Musk thinks you will, because that's what he sees as the future of personal transport, essentially the end of private car ownership. Now the market disagrees with him, and he has been repetitively wrong in many of his predictions. Tesla sales are in decline, not because of dislike of EVs or Musk, but a natural effect of the market maturing, and competitors catching up. There are very sound reasons why RoboTaxi is utterly essential to Tesla's future; Musk said as much at the Q3 Tesla earnings call last year. He is now in a position to essentially fix the market for his company, ie making it easier to regulate autonomous cars, lowering the cost of that business, making it more attractive to people who are in the business of taxis. All these things were predicted by Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, and other luxury car makers who suddenly started buying up private limo services, and why Jaguar went so hard with Waymo (and perhaps cost the company its future, though I suspect the new XJ will be a great car). Even if that doesn't come to pass, and Elon doesn't take your proverbial car off you, you will be sharing the roads (as a driver, or if you don't know how to drive, as a passenger) with increasing numbers of autonomous cars, any one of which could take you out. Your reaction, in the context that you don't use taxis (ever, never) and have no interest in autonomous vehicles, is "Good". Perhaps English isn't your native tongue, but I took that to mean you were supportive of deregulation and autonomous cars. But your subsequent statements contradict that position. Most people on the Trump-leaningpart are generally anti "Big Government" and more power to the people, ie the states not the federal government. But Musk literally wants to strip states of the autonomy of what goes on their roads, and impose distant Washington edicts. That's a position normally associated with the Hard Left, who are usually the anti-democratic lot. Or was your response a knee jerk response, that government can do no bad. -

Being black in Thailand
I remember the book " Black like Me" by John Howard Griffin. He was a white American journalist and author who, in 1959, darkened his skin and traveled through the Deep South for six weeks, posing as a Black man. The book is his account of his experiences with racial prejudice and segregation during that time. In Thailand, dark skin means you are in the lowest socio-economic class, working in the rice fields. To me, black skin means a beneficial genetic inheritance. People with it are far less likely to develop skin cancers. It's like the epicanthic fold in Asian eyes, which originally developed to prevent snow blindness. -

And then there were none.
If you have no worthwhile information to impart in either your posts or replies to them then I suggest you stop trying to make any such lack of informative posts. PS; For your info only.
