    I support your right to air your youthful grievances, although you do seem to have an inordinate number.

    But maybe when you are older you'll come to understand the wisdom in not cutting off your nose to spite your face.

    Consulting with Elon would be an upgrade on any of the consultants he had the last time around. (very low bar)

    But come on do you really think Elon will be in charge of government spending?

    That doesn't show a biased press. They reported what was there.

    You don't have to say something bad about one person just because you said something bad about the other. Some people are just more bad than others.

    When that is the case an unbiased media will report more bad about the person who is more bad.

    Yes. It might or might not be official, but until he pisses Trump off by not kissing ass quite enough, he will have a lot of influence and will use it to further enrich himself.

    I don't agree with what comes out of Elon's mouth. But I have been screaming for more electric cars since the 70's. The American car companies screwed us for the longest time. It took Elon pushing the envelope with all the Tesla charging stations to make them all step up. I don't care how rich he gets. He is a weird dude though.

    I don't care how rich he gets either, except for wealth-inequality concerns generally.
    The bigger problem is that he'll be 'in charge' of deciding how much the government spends on his companies. That's not kosher.

    Sometimes I can’t keep things straight for what maga likes. They definitely like Musk. They definitely hate electric and hybrid cars and love their diesel/gas. Anti-semites, white nationalists, and KKK are 9.9/10 MAGA. Republicans are all about Israel and fuck Hamas/palestine/anyone who protests Israel bombs. They hate big govt but love telling people what to do with their bodies. They hate the deficit but add significantly to it every Presidential term when in office.

    If basic needs were better met, housing, healthcare, food, with better safety nets, along with not having to go into college debt to secure a well paying career, I don't think people would care as much about the wealth gap.

    It could all taken care of and would be cheaper then what we are doing now. Rich people would still be rich and could whatever the fuck they wanted.

    I do think rich people/people with power getting way with everything does affront some people.

    A 22-minute video from a comedian talking politics? It would be best if you gave me the cliff notes.
    I did like him on "Community" though.

    His research staff is pretty good. If you don't like the snark, the informational value on his stuff is pretty high. Started down this path working on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, who actually is better than some purported TV news magazines.

    I hate to break it to you but every European I’ve met here says our standard of living is mediocre and everything is like twice as expensive here.

    And they don't get sent to the poor house if they need to see a doctor.

    And they aren't penalized for getting an education.

    You aren't breaking anything to me, Beagle. Most of my family lives in Europe and I've been there multiple times.
