“That was fun, I’ll do it again when I get out,” said the 22-year-old Gambian violent offender after he stabbed a 55-year-old Italian man twenty times.
And he will be released again. Perhaps to succeed in killing a European next time.
We need a bit more shame.
People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this.
Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation.
It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.
"Richard Symons, the owner of a U.K.-based used-car sales company that specializes in EVs, has found that the batteries that power these cars (Teslas) continue to perform well even after several hundred thousand miles.
“They are proving themselves to be exceptionally reliable."
Ford is done.
GM is done.
Honda is done.
Toyota is dying.
Now FOUR of my employees have bought Tesla Model Y vehicles. They let me drive one. I was blown away... again. Full-Self Driving (FSD) is highly evolved. Human-like in its decisions. Feels safer than any human driver.
I told my staff to install a couple of charging stations at my company parking lot. We're going to offer free charging to any employee that drives an EV. (F*ck gas prices and war in the Persian Gulf!)
The future of personal transport vehicles on this planet belongs to Tesla, BYD, CATL and maybe a couple of other companies. And all of them will be EVs.
At this point, driving a combustion engine vehicle for daily tasks seems obsolete.
And I don't believe a single thing about climate alarmism and all those cultists who hate carbon dioxide. EVs make sense simply from an economics perspective: They're a fraction of the cost to operate, and much simpler to maintain (no oil changes, no engine air filter, no fuel filter, etc.). Plus, you can charge them from sunlight and get entirely off-grid with your "fuel" supply. (I'll be publishing videos showing this in my studio soon.)
Yes, I used to mock EVs. I once said I would never ride in a self-driving vehicle. I was wrong. The technology has been transformed. Battery chemistry improvements have enabled solid range capabilities and very good specifications on charge/discharge cycles. Tesla's FSD capabilities are far stronger than I thought was possible. They've outdone themselves.
Now, I'm absolutely convinced: I will never buy another combustion engine vehicle again.
Elon Musk: “It seems like China listens to everything I say and does it, basically
Or at least they’re doing it independently - I don’t know.
But they’re certainly making massive battery packs, producing vast numbers of electric cars, and deploying enormous amounts of solar power
These are all things I said we should do here.”
