Tesla was incorporated in Delaware, like many other US corporations.

Obviously nothing changed physically, this is just a paperwork thing.

That's why he moved the companies to Texas from Delaware, because even though Delaware is ridiculously business friendly, they'll actually defend shareholders' rights there.

Yeah, I still have champagne in the fridge from his last health scare.

I mean, the big problem is getting the NYPD to do it. Plus you need a reason, I'm not sure if New York City has a war crimes ordinance.

The mainstream media has always had a problem with just calling a lie a lie.

Were they anywhere close to being a monopoly? There's a bunch of other brands selling the same thing. Anyway, I'm actually looking at buying a NAS and I was already explicitly excluding them because of that BS. I'll probably end up building my own, there's some nice cases out there.

I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I'd need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.

Yeah, from what I've seen it looks great, it's just not a blockbuster or even trying to be one.

It doesn't matter, the supreme court hasn't cared about the actual facts in any of the cases they've ruled on in the last decade.

The case about that coach that was forcing his players to pray was distorted as well, just because they wanted a certain outcome (coach claimed it was done voluntary and in private, pictures show it was done in the middle of the pitch), same with the wedding website lady (the supposed gay couple involved had no idea about it and never actually contacted her, there's no evidence she actually builds websites).

It's useful in the sense that people vote on what they feel the facts are, not the actual facts. Crime statistics might be trending down, but if there's a ton of crime stories in the news people feel like crime is up. There's similar dynamics at play when it comes to inflation and other economic indicators.

Obamacare was the right wing plan. It's been a huge giveaway to the insurance industry, and in the end the US did get the death panels Sarah Palin talked about, except instead of government bureaucrats it's some AI run by an insurer that's accountable to nobody.

The democrats need to finally give Medicare for all a shot, as the current system has middlemen skimming profits off at every step without adding any value.

It's those radical left private equity firms!
