We call this mental gymnastics. The average life expectancy of someone that reached the age of 25 was 60-65 years. You gotta factor out infant mortality rate there. Theres no real justification for marrying someone before the age of consent (which isn’t 8) but cognitive dissonance is a real thing. Good luck w that.
@danmccay@UUtah I hope your question is: “can I help you capture beer concession revenue by getting the state legislature to stop enforcing byu’s honor code on your fans inside your stadium?”
@TheUteFanatic When you can’t afford a Tesla to boycott it, you key and start other people’s on fire. People are dumb, and people excusing it are even more dumb.
Trump is breaking the law to block federal funding for medical research. It's already slowing down our fight against diseases like opioid addiction, Parkinson's, and cancer.
Doctors and researchers are sounding the alarm—hear it directly from them in their own words🧵⤵️
The only thing that matters is who will be paying these tariffs and who the tariffs will put out of business.
Tariffs are a pay to play tax on exporters. Consumers usually don’t pay them, they just buy cheaper domestic goods.
That’s all fair, and I’m not being argumentive. And I agree that more can be done by companies that have more money than god. I think the hard part is there’s so much info out there and so much of what is considered truth or fact has been infuenced for political, business, or clickbait gain that it’s hard to know what’s what.
I think Elon deserves a lot of flack, also coming from someone who owns a Tesla, worked for a Tesla company (solarcity) and was laid off over a seemingly brash decision made by Elon overnight.
But also, what are every other car/CA founded company/billionaires doing to help? And where is the criticism there? It would seem like Tesla/Space X are doing more than what I’ve seen (arguably not enough) but Elon’s aren’t getting equal criticism, partly for what I assume, is due to his abrasive political criticisms.
@MichaelSkolnik@elonmusk What would your suggestion be for moderation? Who should be the gate keepers as community notes seems like a step that Facebook is implementing. And probably shouldn’t discount the work Tesla & space X are doing w internet. Arguably more than a lot of companies.
