You misunderstand the purpose of voting. It's not so that the people can choose the government they are subject to (that would be nice, but in practice it's difficult or impossible to implement). Rather, it's to serve as a check on tyranny.

Tell that to the executive (and Congress, for that matter). they could use a good chuckle.

Even US citizens traveling outside the country, and especially residing outside the country, are on thin fucking ice. No, the US government does not consider itself beholden to any laws when operating on foreign soil. It also doesn't really define any criteria that when met allow it to operate on foreign soil in the first place. As such, you are, in essence, right now a subject of a global American Empire under which you have no rights - not even a right to life or property.

How important that point is depends on how much range affects viability as opposed to the cost of the vehicle itself. Electric cars are rather expensive I guess, but few people are going to make the switch to cheaper cars if they only have a range of 20km.

But, then they can't push their agenda with loaded language! Did you consider that?

Everybody knows diamonds are worthless rocks priced in blood. The reason they retain the status they have is your girlfriend doesn't give a shit.

Take note: this kind of thinking is what being purely an "ideas guy" leads to.

Eh, that quote from a year ago isn't entirely clear on how they will look for a new job. I'm sure if the implications of the AI behavior were clear then, there would have been at least some raised eyebrows.

Haven't they been been posting pretty shitty quarterly statements for a few years now? They have a lot of money in the bank, so to speak, I'm sure, but it will catch up with them eventually.

There is definitely a cost but it's hard to calculate so it gets ignored. Certainly the rise of indie game developers has been aided in part by the continuing fuck-ups of AAA publishers, though.
