So what you're saying is that scientist's laziness on the development of flying cars is what is going to lead to the downfall of man.

I always knew it...

I would absolutely argue (and that's kind of my point) that the Cybertruck...and ESPECIALLY the Santa Cruz is closer to a coupe utility vehicle rather than a truck.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 months ago

No no. I'm right there with you. But I keep that part of it for the c/politics community.

Unless you’re also going to claim we don’t need 80% of the trucks we have

I would never presume to claim any such thing. I drive a 2021 Canyon quarter-tonne precisely because I think there is a use case for lighter duty trucks for people like me who aren't doing much more than hauling home-reno trash to the dump and moving some furniture for friends.

Tesla Cyber-el-camino

Just to add.... if the Cybertruck, Ridgeline, etc... are trucks, then so is the El Camino...technically. And that is certainly not true.

I want to believe its all fake news by Dems in order to keep their base from becoming complacent and the actual reality is that polls are showing that they're beating Orange Mussolini like a rented mule.

Best case scenario...yes. But likely...not very.

The only thing that the bankers and CEOs that keep the Liberal coffer's full, and the Oil & Gas Companies (and now Russia apparently) that keep the Cons coffer's full, is a mutual hatred for the working man and for unions.

It would take a herculean effort, and a charismatic leader that we haven't seen since Layton, to bring the NDP into Official Opposition range, let alone leading it all.

I agree that that would be the best possible version of Canada. But greed will never allow it to happen.

Yeah. Best case scenario I've felt would be that Trudeau resigns, the liberals bring in someone more popular that will effectively block Pierre Poppinfresh and hold onto a minority government.

Keeping PP from power isn't quite as imperative as Trump down south, but it's close. He's more Ron DeSantis than Trump.

I literally couldn't tell. Which is why I just Homered back into the bush rather than attempting to even reply. If it's satire, it's master class.

apoplectic

Legitimately one of my favourite words.

I used the phrase "tilting at windmills" when discussing current politics and got looked at like an insane person.

No one reads anymore, apparently.
