Look interesting, thanks for sharing.

When the first Model S came out. It was rave reviews across the board. Breaking safety score records. Making electrical sexy. Even if it didn't have the finesse and durability of the incumbent brands.

The idea was they should've gone up from there, not down. And they've gone down by a lot.

Having to pay tariffs. Sending money to a country with an adversarial government. And it's not even made in the US.

Not anymore, but at the time it came out it was.

That's why I think your being naïve. Backed by science, sure. But the link between autism and vaccines was also backed by science. Despite it being false. And who is funding the science? And who is deciding what get's published? And who is peer reviewing it?

Science is a messy human process. And can be misappropriated by those in power.

That's probly 1 million job vacancies that regular Americans don't want to fill. What was the point of this again?

Not rhetoric. It's a subject I know little about. My initial thoughts though are that the US more or less invited themselves and everybody was fine with that.

That's very naïve. Right now even doctors in Texas are letting young women die, knowingly, because they're not allowed to save them because it's not a disease but a dead fetus that's killing them. Which they are not allowed to remove.

To prevent those bad choices infringing on others is why Germany has those rules in place.

"I could make the “bad choice” to play bumper cars on the freeway" Sure, but with your logic the solution to that would be to force everyone to take the bus instead.

I agree with you for the most part. But seeing the current trend of right-wing governments and felons becoming presidents. I'm not sure if I'll be alive to see that day.

I don't think they meant it that way.

It's kind of sad to see how Tesla went from some of the best cars you could buy to some of the worst. Even the other models suffer from declining quality and safety issues.

At least if the cybertruck was the unbreakable, unbeatable ultimate truck it was supposed to be, it would have a redeeming feature. But instead they've literally glued on steel plates to a car chassis. It's sheer incompetence.

The point is that forcing vaccines is also opening the gates to other things you might not want.

My bleach example was meant to illustrate that a government could decide substance X was safe, even if the science disagrees. And by law you would be forced to get it injected.
