@uppity_witch No, they paused manufacturing of all vehicles to rebuild as an ev company.... so all they had to sell was old stock. Mostly, everyone else in this thread is just pushing an agenda
re: ai, you people don’t love making things you love having things and capitalism has convinced you that ownership is self actualization and it’s not and that’s why you’re empty inside
@fitty_d We used to put em on inside windscreen here in Australia...but they got rid of them and police cars have plate recognition that tells them if your plate is legit.
It’s easy to be pessimistic.
Life is hard. Doing new things is hard. Breaking away from the crowd is hard.
And there are things outside your control that may prevent or delay you from being successful!
So most people remain pessimistic — because being a pessimist lets you off the hook from trying.
But the world was built by optimists. And optimism is hard too — optimists feel compelled to do the hard work required to achieve the optimistic outcome.
When you’re pessimistic, you cut corners. You make subtle decisions that self-sabotage and become a self-fulfilling prophecy of your pessimism.
Optimists do whatever it takes to give themselves the best shot. Because it turns out, things outside your control sometimes break in your favor too!
So do you want to give yourself a shot, or not?
That’s what it comes down to.
