I agree completely. It’s clear we’re in need of much stronger constitutional safeguards.

As you pointed out, they attempted to subpoena Musk and the republicans voted it down. They’ve also introduced articles of impeachment, which they successfully put through last time only to have senate republicans refuse to convict on the basis that trump was no longer president.
Politely, I think this comment is unhelpful. What do you propose that they do? Our government is based to a large degree on the assumption of good faith. The Supreme Court, for example, has power because the constitution says it does. They don’t have the capacity to actually enforce the rulings they hand down.
The current president has basically said that he doesn’t care about the constitution, and is just concerned with stealing power for himself and his cronies. Elections are supposed to be our mechanism for dealing with that.
Who said it resulted in no difference in voter turnout?
Grow a damn backbone!
Self-righteously resigning only works if the other side wants the organization to continue functioning. Musk and his cronies want things to fail. This is literally what they want.
I’m aware. The collateral for the credits are EV sales, hence my shorthand.
It appears at the moment that the instructions were acknowledged and that the helicopter pilots were mistaken about which plane they were avoiding, not that they ignored instructions.
And regardless, the purpose of an air traffic controller is to monitor traffic continuously. Having the prescribed number of atcs would have made space for the tower to see that the helicopter was on a collision course and act to avoid it.
You misread the sheet slightly. The total profit for the year was $7.1 billion, of which $2.8 billion was renewable energy credits. I.e. their profit would have only been $4.3 billion.
You are. Without the EV credits, Tesla would have folded years ago.
Are you saying his killing was justified?
Honestly not the worst thing that could happen at this point.
The word you would use is “steep”. It means to put something in a liquid to extract its flavor into the liquid.
Maybe you were thinking about “braise”, which is when you half cover something in a liquid and cook it all just below boiling, but then the liquid turns into a sauce.
