Most countries have deep economic ties to most wealthy countries, we're in a global economy. Even subsistence farmers in subsaharan Africa buy more of their seeds than you can imagine from Chinese companies that do the bulk of their R&D in the US and western Europe, if US policy becomes extremely isolationist that will affect them.

Also, the US is one of the biggest climate emitors, if that ramps up instead of decreasing the whole world will feel that too.

Best of luck!

One example does not a rule make, and in the US electoral system money (and the party affiliations that bring it) speaks loudest of all. Maybe going further left wouldn't work, but going further right certainly hasn't. When Harris first emerged as the candidate she had such a swell of support, as she moved further right she lost it.

I think Harris played it better than anyone had so far with handling Trump. I think her fatal mistep was believing there were hordes of rightwing never trumpers who could be swayed. She had so much momentum when she first stepped in and people thought she'd be further left than Biden, she pivoted further right than him and probably got less votes. Being a POC woman certainly didn't help either.

I mean there's been a lot to help corporations and the rich I don't agree with but the current administration has also given tons of resources to the IRS to claw back evaded taxes from the wealthy, made moves to bust monopolies and price-fixing practices, and while they aren't directly responsible there has been a historic expansion of unions not seen in my lifetime

We can trust him to look out for himself as he sees it, not necessarily rationally. And also not to plan long-term if he needs a cash infusion now. Will be interesting (I guess) to see which pressure wins out

It sounds like British Irish

The people viewing it as a weakness were going to attack her no matter what, whether she was just black, just Indian, or just a woman. Adding the extra labels doesn't really amplify their thinly veiled bigotry, she's going to lose negligible support for being biracial than if she was one or the other, and will possibly appeal to a broader cross section of apathetic voters.

This specific thread is responding to this comment, not the original article:

They should even go further and require to move other passengers if neccessary, so that the families can sit together always, no matter what.

Which is maybe why there's a big disconnect between you and all the comments you're replying to

For many of those years it was the only electric pickup truck being advertised. And also, yes people do like the Tesla name. Musk and growing competition has done a ton to tank the reputation lately, but until just a couple years ago Tesla was far and away the best and most advanced electric car, and depending on your criteria the most advanced/best car period. Perception shifts slowly outside of well-informed groups, and the Musk hate is really only affecting well-informed left wing groups right now, so a lot of libertarian Musk fanboys are still fully on the Tesla train

In addition to what Blisterex said, the open-source hardware ethos is very similar to the Linux open-source software ethos, so it attracts a similar crowd

They don't make it obvious at all, in fact they do their best to seem like you can't

I mean they very obviously aren't failing in droves, Disney for instance has been increasing their profit every year except 2020 for the last while.
