If you’re going to make the “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” point, then why bother with an EV? For the same price, you can get a nicer ICE. That is why Elon’s actions are so weird. I agree with you that a chicken sandwic

Peloton is probably the weakest example possible of this since they took a very common and established word (for a group of people riding together) as their brand. In more practical terms, back when PTON was still a stock darling, they cons

This will likely be remembered as (one of) the peaks of loose monetary policy foolishness. Palantir had cash that it basically chose to turn into revenue (plus shares of high risk unprofitable businesses). That’s the opposite of how n

Sure but this whole “being principled” thing is so weird when people focus exclusively on the laws. Sure they can do this without anyone getting sued, but they can still face consequences for doing it (like people not going to see the Roc

My point is that over that distance, any train is impractical? Like sure China has fast trains in a small area, but west of Chengdu, they don’t, so saying “China is a country nearly as large as the US with a robust train network” is a red
