Wow that is so bloody obvious, I didn’t even think about that...Elon was constantly tweeting it out, updates and everything. You can help others and have it be PR simultaneously like Elon was doing, or you can help others and not be PR. So

I honestly think Musk was trying to help. He does this stuff everywhere, Puerto Rico, Australia etc. it does seem PR, but also very risky and I like that he does unorthodox not by the book things. I also understand he sucked the gravity of

Smart move IF we weren’t doing the same to Europe and Canada at the same time. Europe is completely unreliable in terms of a united front against China, everyone has failed on that. They delay, delay, empty promises almost as bad as China s

Do I want to invest in the 2nd fastest growing economy in the world? One which has artificial controls to make sure my investment is stable, yes I do. Investment in non residential areas are heavily blocked with rules such as technology tra

Agreed. If the purpose of all this is to create a more even playing field then there really shouldn’t be much rational opposition. If tarrifs were placed specifically for artificially protecting non national security related goods then that

That may be true, but if Holmes wasn’t stopped, thousands could have died...people trusted her to get accurate blood test results. What if some major medical ailment went undiscovered due to the poor accuracy of her machines? Holmes is a ru

I'm fiscally conservative and I don't mind the tax, it's just very poorly planned. $20M in revenue for businesses is not much. It's a regressive tax, and it is appropriated to homelessness which the city has done a very

Manhattan has a very robust public transportation system though. It's easier to get around the city and to friends, attractions and jobs without a car. San Francisco, definitely not the case. A lot of people live there but work in Palo

The same reason why building a road isn't a subsidy. Is building a bridge from Oakland to a San Francisco a subsidy for Uber and Twitter? You are expanding the infrastructure, without transmission lines there is no economic viability f

That's extremely counter productive. The most bang from your buck for solar is for utilitity plants. So raising taxes just to put solar on SOME new homes which benifits only the new home purchasers (majority of whom are quite wealthy)

We need a regulatory rulebook codified in law by congress that fines companies that make these "mistakes". Enough of a fine will force companies to take these "mistakes" seriously. In Yahoo's case, that might have f

As an investor, I do...they get 4 chances a year to ask questions. Considering Elon lies with every 3rd breath he takes, wanting concrete factual numbers not sky high goals let's me know whether to get out or not. I love Elon's vi

Go on your friends list and look at all the deleted profiles. Facebook no longer deletes the profile from your friendlist. If you have 900 friends and 50 delete, it still shows 900 and the names of deactivated profiles are still in friend l
