This is absolutely my fear too!

The US is technologically inferior.

BYD's new 'Blade Battery 2.0' can add 400 km range in 5 minutes (70% charge) or full (97% charge) in 9 minutes.

If the US invested in infrastructure for people instead of war, like China does, we could also fill our electric car batteries up at 1500kW stations.

absolutely...

what incredible hubris. I absolutely understand the Silicon Valley training of move fast and break things and understand why these people in that context might say such things, but the idea that they don't understand the incredibly different context they are working is in mind boggling!

What an ass!

What does it mean to “appreciate their sex” mean, why is it in the states interest and how does that sit with the constitution?

BTW, in my experience, the penultimate paragraph is exactly how most VC's have worked for the last 30 years. They try to avoid risk and look for things that others will also invest in. They've moved very much from the origin of why VC was needed.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

please see: www.friendlyatheist.com/p/before-you...

What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?

pay attention....

This is the exact same Guy you could find 2,000 years ago as a Roman senator gleefully listing the number of Germani slain and sold into slavery, 900 years ago exulting in the sack of Jerusalem, or 100 years ago celebrating 500 yards taken on the Western Front. Timeless chickenhawk scum.

You are a gracious man who makes the world a better place. You share so much, you deserve it!

I assume at the tech bro libertarians will be up in arms out this.

speechless... classless.

Some earn the uniform; others just wear it.

Mike Johnson pretending he likes Kid Rock

The lyrics to most of Kid Rock's songs trigger the requirement to report exposure to his son.

yup

Watch both these videos. And if you don't think they're related, you're really going to enjoy living in the billionaire “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights.

The Surveillance State is complete.

🚨 Tell your Senators to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE” Act”, which would:

Require continuing voter purges w/ NO PENALTY for erroneous purges.

Subject election officials to potential PRISON TIME & citizen suits for mistakenly registering a single voter—even if the voter is a citizen! 1/

DHS literally posted "Want cheaper housing?" with a number to report your neighbors.

We did this in the Trail of Tears. We used weak people's desire for free land to get them turn on the Natives. That was the "Destiny" our nation made manifest.

Tweet from Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun: "Ignorance like this cheapens the horror of the Holocaust. Anne Frank was in Amsterdam legally and abided by Dutch law. She was hauled off to a death camp because of her race and religion. Her story has nothing to do with the illegal immigration, fraud, and lawlessness plaguing Minnesota today. Our brave law enforcement should be commended, not tarred with this historically illiterate and antisemitic comparison."

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."

In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.

Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

yup, the real reason. And they killed people!
