Miami has the highest income inequality [1] in the US, and the ultra pristine neighborhoods you'd expect due to that. It's also generating jobs faster than almost anywhere else, with virtually every neighborhood getting better. Th

Per this article in the Atlantic, other states are not allowed to even ask for a waiver. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/03/trump-ca...

I don't believe the EPA granted the waiver, the Clean Air Act itself granted California a perpetual exemption. As such, the EPA can't grant other states the same right. The history is totally understandable, to avoid a hodgepodge

Doesn't deserve the flag IMO, Tesla is an emotional topic for many people. While there certainly have been hit pieces and hack journalism throughout the companies existence, I think this one has enough meat to be worth discussing. Like

Yes there is, 49 states must seek policy exemptions from the EPA and win approval for them, while California has no such burden. CA gets a perpetual exemption allowing them freedom no other state gets. Edit: I was actually wrong here, no ot

You picked the smallest US state to compare with, but if it's only market size, why not Texas with 29M or Florida with 21M compared to CA's 39M?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the other states only have a say, and not a vote? It's ultimately California's decision what they must accept. Edit: Looked it up, no other states have a vote. 12 governor appoin

Getting downvotes for saying this, but why should California be the only state allowed to set stricter emission standards? Why not New York or Rhode Island? I don't want standards to be rolled back, but it's hard for me to defend

That's the point, they can't . Only California is allowed to do so.

Only California is allowed the exemption though, I can't think of a good reason they alone should have that power.

Yes, they are obviously biased and openly so, but they've raised what appear to be valid points that Tesla should answer. Elon made the claim publicly, and Tesla is no stranger to writing snatching rebuttals. As disclosure, I'm lo

They found clear Tesla fatalities that were missing from the published data, apparently a significant number of them due to miscategorization. Now maybe all the brands have the same problem with missing data, but that would mean fatalities

The firm is short Tesla, but I’d still like to see a data driven Tesla rebuttal before believing it’s all smoke and no fire.

It's a welcome side effect for local business and city services, as well as helping smooth out geographical income inequality. Small towns usually have short commutes, so it's not the same type of issue as places like Denver.

Not the OP, but know several remote workers for Bay Area companies, and all are getting comparable salaries. The ones in FL and TX are seeing quite a bit more take-home due to no state taxes.

After listening to Optimizely reps give a talk about their success with a client (who was present) I suspect the support reps encourage these false positives. They presented a few tests as fantastic wins, when they all had basic flaws (like

Prop 13 wasn't about the elderly or retired, and there are many tax abatement programs in other states (like homestead exemptions) that benefit them. Prop 13 benefits landlords and corporations, it was a hand out to business interests

Sounds fantastic for the wealthy, who in a recession still have access to easy capital. Better yet REITs, who can swoop in to take entire blocks of SF homes and then rent them back to the same people who don't want to leave.

I'd go about it like so. 1. Start on a high note, take the team out to lunch / dinner and start to get to know them. 2. Don't force any changes, they will likely resist and you'll lose any budding support. Forcing a code

Russia spend is estimated at $100k between 2015 and 2017, when Trump and Clinton spent $81M on Facebook alone. I've spent more than the Russians did on Facebook ads, to think that amount of money was a deciding factor is pretty absurd.
