They are being punished for being poor. The driver is rich and someone has to pay for the death of a child and they aren’t going to put a 76 year old rich white woman in jail.

The reason to care is that when Tesla does pull shenanigans with their cars, now everyone’s going to just call it “fake news”. This incident has just bought them all the cover in the world to be assholes.

Just one more reason not to buy a Tesla ever.

“I’m lucky that my 80-year-old father is going to help out taking them to school. But I ask the state [politicians] – please come up with a solution. We’re going to lose a whole generation of kids if this continues.”

Here’s an idea STOP VOTING IN REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS. They don’t care about you, all they care about is getting the most money for their real constituents. The obscenely wealthy and corporations.

It is not venture capitalism. Though it is fueled by venture capitalism. I am describing the type of car and you are calling it gasoline. They’re most distinctly not the same thing.

However it should be noted there both a part of the same corrosion of our society. Just how automobiles that run on gasoline are a corrosion on our atmosphere.

Exactly. You try to conserve water and use less power to try to help the planet, meanwhile Elon Musk is burning several million tons of gas to run Grok.

Yes, this is part of the business model. The goal is to get everyone addicted to their service, then jack the price up to profitable margins. It’s the same model Netflix and Amazon used. Bothe services lost money for over 10 years before becoming profitable.

If the baby was born with obvious signs of drug use by the mother then you might have a case. But drug testing every single woman who gives birth is excessive and fascist.

If hospitals are doing this, women are going to stop trusting them to deliver their babies and start giving birth at home with the aid of a midwife instead.

More reason for women to avoid getting pregnant all together.

Or maybe we should stop drug testing people and exit the fascist fucking police state.

I love the bit about how people who work for early startups have to work long hours for little pay so that the owner of the company can walk away with a highly successful business that pays them handsomely while you get maybe a decent wage if you’re lucky, or if the company doesn’t fire you when they realize they can hire three people for half the pay that you were getting by the time the company is actually making a profit.

The fact that there are 256 billionaires is an absolute failure of our society.

Because we are all sick and tired of only having conservatives to vote for.

The middle of Japan is on roughly the same latitude as South Carolina and north Africa.

Join the Right to Repair movement. More voices are heard more clearly.

That’s the point though. These CEOs don’t know that there is not going to be an “AI revolution”. They all think they are getting in on the ground floor of the next Google or Facebook. They genuinely believe that these “AI’s” are going to revolutionize the Internet.

That’s exactly why Elmo went from “AI is too dangerous and development on it must be stopped” to “I’m gonna built the best AI ever and I’ll call it Grok cause I want everyone to think I’m a relatable sci-fi nerd.”

First, we’re on Lemmy so it’s okay to say FUCK.

Second, the reason these articles are important is that if we don’t continually point these things out these assholes are going to simply get away with doing what they’re doing and have no accountability at all. It may not feel like they are being held accountable right now but, if the recent polls can be trusted, public opinion is definitely not on their side.

Absolutely nothing this asshole says or does is backed by any kind of science whatsoever. He’s a crackpot and everything he does is based on crackpot ideas. Nothing coming out of the United States Health and Human Services can be trusted as long as he is in charge.

You should read the entire article. This person is not advocating for what you think they are.

Yeah this entire article is peppered with this sort of thing. The author of this article is advocating for the end of a free and open internet. In order to silence bigots and assholes like Trump and Bolsonaro they want to remove any and all protections that prevented your ISP from nanny monitoring your online activity.
