The key is why people don’t want to talk politics. Well, not wanting to discuss politics usually signals that the status quo works for you and rule of law will always protect your interests.

You made the most of underutilized assets because you are progressive and believe in the free market

Sounds like I get to drive around the open land in your state for hours and 3-40 minutes of driving is line of sight to a power installation. The wind farms will go up in NY, Boston etc but it will take a while because of the same NIMBYs. T

Sounds like anybody who goes to work for the fossil fuel industry. "Trillions spent on solar and wind" but apparently what we spent annually on Fossil Fuels is not significant enough to mention and Nuclear power can't cost to

The big automakers increasing their electric car output hit Tesla really hard in their huge regulatory credits business. Also considering the US is getting ever closer to recalling autopilot means they are going to need to save their pennie

He's been a master of manipulating the news cycle almost to a Trump level so most liberal Tesla-drivers don't really know much about him. People who follow reporting about a variety of topics have seen his name come up again and a

Yeah people give him the benefit of the doubt that the is meeting his fiduciary obligations because he's CEO. They assume if the CEO does it, it's good for what he wants for his companies. We know it's more about his ego but

Yeah it's not about progressive vs conservative, it's industry vs workers. The managers who are good to their workers get weeded out before making it to the top.

Chances are it won't be found to be retaliation against workers organizing for working conditions with less drama. Even if it is and they get fined, for them it's just a fee.
643.
by fundad 4y ago
Agreed and anyone standing up for worker power knows the employer will retaliate because the fee is insignificant.

Because he’s a right-wing oligarch who pretends to care about the environment but really want to leave us on earth with his ewaste. And if someone can’t see that and works for Tesla, how could they competently build a car? They can’t, it se

Yeah isn’t a startup getting money from a VC because they don’t qualify for 100s of millions of dollars in loans?

Well when we ran electric wires and telephone wires it wasn't for the benefit of a multi-racial population, this nation only invested when we could control who would benefit.

I think the US is unique in its size and how much land there is between all of these rural areas. I wouldn't even call them towns. If there was ever once economic activity somewhere, there remains a town charter which comes with the ri

What a shock that an owner is trash-talking worker power. Employees are winning better conditions because we no longer accept worse conditions, it's math actually. Startups can have cheaper workers if that's who they want.

That’s the 2020 plan. Lay off 10 million people and drive prices down. And then complain prices aren’t as low when people get new jobs.

And none of this mentions Trillions in tax cuts and tariffs raising the cost of building materials and manufacturing inputs. Anyone paying attention in 2017 saw inflation coming but it became problem number 1 once the Muslim ban was revers

I think “everyone back in the office” was to control the narrative ahead of the “layoffs at Tesla” announcements that is pretty fucking damning when demand for electric cars is so high. It worked beautifully.

In their employment capacity Elon Musk and other people who work for Tesla have an incredibly large budget. They can use that budget to downsize in a way that complies with the law.

These economies were overbuilt based on captive demand. We may just have to do without so many Hale n Hearty Soup shops. It’s true that Aramark suffers when we enjoy entertainment at home but should we have to attend a concert daily just to

Yes exactly the people pushing to end restrictions want to use us back into the office too. Can't require masking or the vax but if you want to keep working from home, you're being selfish.

I think so many layoffs happened in 2020, and there haven’t been as many layoffs since. Resignations look huge in comparison.
