Entrepreneurial ego plays a part I think. Unless they already found 60 people that want them for this price.
Developing an agile enough process and factory to make things like this might be an interesting business model. Probably way Too low profit to attract investors though.
And apples, naval oranges, corn (especially gmo).
I wonder what the “template” had as a headline before the replaced it with MAGA?
Deutschland Uber Alles?
Hitler Wins?
I bet they wouldn’t want to admit what attracted them to it.
Splitting up California, would work too. But really, we need to finish the Interstate Popular Vote Compact.

I grew up in Detroit and my parents owned some of the only VWs (old Bugs and a Bus). They got some shit for it in the 70s-80s, but nothing like my aunt got when her dad (an engineer for Chrysler and lifelong devotee) bought her a ‘59 beetle in ‘59. The jocks at her school rolled it on its roof.
I miss my free cable and Wi-Fi in my first Boston apartment. I didn’t discover it worked until 2 months into living there (just after 9/11 actually).

It’s a contribution thing. He contributed enough to society to deserve to not worry about money for the rest of his life. It’s rare though since we have a bunch of billionaires who skim the rewards from huge swaths of the population who also have contributed their part.
The financialization of retirement is a huge part of the problem for the middle class (or what’s left of it, upper-lower-class is probably more accurate). We have to invest in these assholes in order to save for retirement. The harder workers in services, laborers, and fields don’t even get that.
Found the Pittsburgh PD…
It goes back before that, when Boothe killed Lincoln and reconstruction failed and we let the south keep southing it got fucked.
Nixon recognized it and used it to get elected, and Reagan got the economy fucking us, and Bush 2 profited from starting wars on surpluses from the previous administration. Then trump wasted Obama’s hard work on the economy with tax cuts and shit handling of a pandemic.
The Sinclair C5 is pretty much the same idea and from the 80s.
But not enclosed.
