Old school for normal is "normal". Cisgender is newspeak for "normal".

Yes. And we were sure to include all of the lost Japanese and German military jobs as part of the cost (negative in this calculation) of winning WWII. Taking money from hardworking people and still to be born generations and giving it to others then worrying about those taking the loot is quite an interesting take on "a negative in this calculation". If we stop all the thieves from stealing then those thieves will have no jobs!

Pissing away billions. The Dutch Tulip mania of 1634 was more rational than this. And at least the Dutch government did not get involved by mandating tulips and subsidizing just the right kind of tulips and otherwise infringing on the freedom and treasure of its citizens. And the people got to enjoy the tulips for a week or so to assuage their idiocy. EVs, not so much. From Automotive News. Note the idiotic statements "startup ... needs credibility". How about startup needs a product that people want to buy at the price you can sell it? That might be a thing startups need, AutoNews. THEN they get credibility, ya bunch of cotton headed ninny muggins. Another telling statement, "the disappointing demand for EV's" implies the public is the problem. A more truthful and accurate statement would be "the unnaturally overinflated supply and demand for EV's due to bird brained public policies, subsidies, mandates, carbon credits, and other silliness was still unable to convince BorgWarner to keep pissing away money". Nikola goes bust as another Tesla gold rush chase fails Electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla died in 1943, but more than 80 years later his surname generates headlines around the world every day, if not every hour. And some days, both his first and last name make news. Today was one of those days. Troubled Arizona electric truck maker Nikola Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy — another once high-flying Tesla gold rush chaser whose fortunes plunged amid scandal, cash burn and disappointing demand. The company’s fourth CEO, Steven Girsky, has been a respected veteran executive in automotive circles, but his attempt to keep this company afloat the last few years was doomed. Here’s why. For a startup company such as Nikola to survive, it needs credibility. Early in its days as a public company in 2020, the shares skyrocketed and its market value reached about $29 billion. It was frequently featured on CNBC. This company was so red hot that General Motors wanted a piece of the action. It sought an 11 percent stake in Nikola as part of a cash-free deal in exchange for providing access to fuel cell technology and for manufacturing the startup’s electric pickup, the Badger. At the time Nikola said it couldn’t make the Badger without a deal with GM. That deal failed late in 2020 and questions began to rise. Then founder and CEO Trevor Milton became the center of a federal fraud scandal for misrepresenting the capability of a key truck product, as exposed by Bloomberg. Ultimately, he was indicted, found guilty and sentenced to four years in federal prison. How can a startup survive after something such as this? Even without major existential scandals, other EV startups suffered the same fate as Nikola, including Fisker Inc., Lordstown Motors and Canoo Inc. The sad thing is that there is still a long-term future for electric vehicles and hydrogen propulsion technologies. It’s a good bet that someday a technology first developed by a failed company such as Nikola ends up being successful. Meanwhile, the disappointing demand for EVs claimed 188 more jobs in the Detroit area today as supplier BorgWarner Inc. confirmed plans to close two small EV battery parts plants.

Is this mixing shows? Wasn't "Just the facts" from Dragnet? Jack Webb. Dano was Hawaii Five-O. Booking 'em. I suppose it is simple to look up but I decided to do this instead.

Talking about hands touching everything: GIve a buddy a hand!

Why can't Canadian winters get onboard with global warming? Stoopid Canadian winter climate deniers! Justin Trudeau is going to be very very upset with Canadian winters over this:

I counted to infinity. Twice.

Guys, quit being idiots (I know this is a tall order - which I say as a contributing idiot to this forum). It is asinine to call it racist to notice that world class sprinters and NBA players overwhelmingly have similar melanin levels. It is also asinine to call it racist to observe that Jews are very much more successful and have more influence in every society in which they reside than their pure percentage of the population would suggest. IT IS A COMPLIMENT and it is not racist to notice. Chat GPT is full of BS and quoting it as a source indicates who is training Chat GPT and not some undeniable fact. RV's silliness is not noticing the Jewish people are successful. It is thinking that their success justifies treating them worse or the Palestinians better than the behavior of either merits.

Back to the bathroom to wash their hands. Remember, the vast majority of hands you shake have been holding a d**k within the past 3 hours. Shake hands only with lesbians. Bow to everyone else.

Are you saying we are not getting any better or worse at our level of dumb? No slope on the graph of dumb vs. time? Either up or down? What a bunch of underachievers!! Can we have a graph or a spreadsheet depicting this maintenance of dumb you're observing?

Random nice American citizens and random nice legal resident aliens, surely. There can be no pattern to discern nor commonality among those arrested. It. Is. Just. Random.

Really weird. I did not say those 3 things 21 hours ago. Now, 22 hours ago I may have been hallucinating but certainly not 21 hours ago.

Maybe they can get fartless oxen to pull the light trains back and forth with the homeless addicts inside and be really really good climateers. So long as those oxen do not exhale CO2 nor leave cowpies everywhere then they'll have the cleanest lightest bestest useless rail system in the climateer world.

Trump was a Democrat until shortly before 2015. Musk was considered the world's greatest climateer EV darling and voted for Biden in 2020. Then both got targeted by the swampies - both on the swampie left and the swampie right! There is nothing far right - nor even remarkably conservative from a political philosophy viewpoint - about either man.

Is the problem that stuff is being done or that a particular person is doing it? If Trump had asked Tinker Bell to wave her wand and drain the swamp would that slay your enraged anger? Or if old man Soros had been interviewed for the role of swamp drainer? Or maybe if Vivek had stayed on board longer you would be less angry about not understanding what drain the swamp entailed? Here's what many of "we" did not understand in Trump's first presidency: What the heck he was wasting his time on and why DOGE did not exist then? Trump got the message. DRAIN THE SWAMP. NOW! Musk is the guy pulling the plug to open the drain. Nothing has been "turned over" to Musk to have as his own. He's not keeping any of it. His team is just finding defective discretionary spending and returning it to the American treasury - actually preventing the next tsunami of defective discretionary mis-spending and dis-spending from leaving the treasury.
