Remember when the GOP sued google because its spam filters were too effective?

Who’s bringing the roadkill bear meat?

And he thinks by increasing the cost by 5x, it’s going to be more attractive.

The EB-5 typically gets used 5-10k/year at $1m. He wants to sell 10 million. That’s how the business stable genius thinks price elasticity works

I’m not actually convinced it was Vance specifically. Their support seemed to grow a bit after the US election gave their movement a bit more legitimacy, but then started back the other way when people saw what it means in action. Vance’s visit was timed at roughly the peak, but, snark aside, it’s probably more correlation than causation.

The actions of the Trump administration as a whole are a more plausible cause of any slight erosion of support.

Practical Engineering?

Combine this with German polls showing a drop in AfD support this month since Vance’s meeting with them (https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/germany/), and you have actual European Nazis looking at the Trump administration and collectively saying “whoah, maybe dial it down a bit.”

If you want to talk about how the Pinto’s reputation was not entirely earned, I’ll probably be on your side. My first car was a '72 Pinto, and it will always have a special place in my heart. Cars were dangerous in the 70s, including a lot of poor designs that led to fires. The Pinto had somewhat more than most other models, but it was not exactly the ticking time bomb that people made it out to be. Overall, the safest car engineers could possibly produce in 1980 wouldn’t even be legal to drive today; that’s how much safety has progressed, including Tesla.

And all that’s irrelevant. The Pinto has been dead for longer than most internet users have been alive. I’d wager that less than half of the people in this thread have even seen one on the road. But still, if you say the word “Pinto” online, more people will reach for a fire extinguisher than a can of beans. That’s how ingrained the reputation is.

So when comparing the reputation of the Pinto as a fire hazard to the reality of the Cybertruck as a fire hazard, the author isn’t trying to make any rigorous, peer-reviewed, scientific conclusions about total safety here. It’s about fire. Maybe the best answer is to give the Pinto some (some) leeway for being better than its reputation, but if that reputation can persist in the country’s consciousness for nearly half a century after the car died maybe we can also look to today and see that some lessons were apparently not learned.

The whole premise is that the pinto was known for being a fire hazard. Deaths due to lack of airbags and piss-poor seatbelt usage is the 70s has nothing to do with fire-related deaths.

And given they’re also using the number of cyber trucks produced, that is also an apples to apples comparison.

It takes some olympic-level mental gymnastics to look at a story about exploding cars and try to rope in non-fire-related deaths.

(paraphrasing from elsewhere) Every good business owner LOOOOVES to tell people/governments they can’t pay more money if they can blame it on the law/lawyers.

Without that security blanket, the door is open to extracting money from US businesses by foreign governments. The owner can’t even give a good reason why they shouldn’t be blackmailed.

From a “corrupt president” perspective, this is a bad policy, but somehow, from an “American business owner” perspective, it’s even worse.

I’m sorry, eggs come from female chickens, and any talk of that particular F-word is strictly forbidden.

Wait, no, he might take that deal and doom the rest of us to his bullshit for generations.
