I never said anything like that, but if that's your perception of it, then so be it.

If you want a commonality of the two situations separated by 50 years, both car companies in their own ways have tried to rationalize the problems to downplay them, because in all that time it's still cheaper to pay settlements and fines than to fix the core problems. That is true beyond the car industry.

A meme is only as good as what goes into it. And yes, I'll defend the facts over a silly meme that bends them to make it work.

Did I go overboard for just a meme, yeah, probably. I stand by what I said though, from a point of view of reality.

I wish that commenting would automatically upvote a post. It's far too late to fix the use of an upvote as approval of subject discussion and not just an agree arrow, but I often...no, I almost always forget to upvote the initial topic even after leaving a few paragraphs. One would hope whatever algorithm is used also considers activity and number of comments in a rating or suggesting it to others.

Different times, different causes, and different ratios of incidents to total cars. I hate Musk, think any potential for Teslas has declined heavily in quality, and lots of mistakes have been made in its development. But this kind of comparison is a definite apples and oranges. Plus grouping every incident under "blows up" and the cause of death is a bit much. How many of those were due to drivers? How many Teslas that did have some fire warned their driver to pull over and save them, vs. a Pinto that...would just catch fire and couldn't possibly do that.

I mean be fair if you're going to be critical. There is plenty to be critical about, especially with the disaster known as the Cybertruck. Plus the last part...if no one is hearing about it, then why is it a damn meme at this point, and unjustified because while Tesla fires are a nasty thing to put out, there are still far more ICE fires, and THEY only get a side note in the local news, if that.

Dare you to correct them:

I read through the summary, and it sounds a lot like how evolutionary development is perceived by the layperson vs. how complex it really is, including the deception that we are at some high point. So the next question in my mind, and based on the summary the authors left to explore as the answer is probably a difficult one to find - are there paths that could have been traveled which didn't lead to similar messes like we find ourselves in? One assumption is always that capitalism and consumption and all that comes with them is inevitable. Maybe not? It would ruin this meme that I found very fitting for society, but that's again based on an inevitable conclusion to be true.

It was always speculated that the images were stolen or used in some malicious way and not sent from an actual Nicole as it is treated in the lighter commentary when they show up. That's the bad part of the whole thing, otherwise it would be an amusing spam because of its predictability. At least they are normal pictures (webcam hacks I suppose) and haven't gotten worse for her.

Handled Covid poorly as it spread, and was instrumental in undoing the tools to help stop such outbreaks developed initially by GWB and then by Obama. Oh, right, that's why he undid a lot of it. Out of spite, not out of sense. Mirrors more or less everything he's doing now.

Isn't fire not a thing itself, but the effect from a reaction?

The latter.

He's just do an executive order to have them upgrade it up to the best economy in the world. Simple.
