He’s just going to get people killed. But that’s ok he doesn’t give a shit anyways, so it’s moot. What are a few thousand dead peasants when we could make big stock number go up?

In my experience, if you have a boss that bitches about OSHA and how they’re totally unnecessary, you’ve got a shitty boss. I’m talking the kind that would get you killed to save a nickel and then go on about how they’re the real victims of you going and getting yourself killed like that.
Decades upon decades of progress are going to be gone by the end of this.
We’ll spend the rest of our lives living in a system slowly being rebuilt, if we even get that lucky.
There goes our futures. And we voted for it.
Truly a shit nation full of shit people.
The wounds are too deep for rebuilding, imo. Even if we do get the chance, there’s just not enough Band-Aids, political will, and time in four years for the democrats to repair it. We’re facing the complete implosion of our federal government and its legitimacy along with it.
B-bu-but grandstanding uncommitted Jill Steiners told me not to worry and they’re all the same though!!?
Don’t worry. WW3 will be the world against the US within the next decade.
Most of them are just caught in the gears of history. It’s not as if voting was ever mandatory or generally made available to the working class.
But yes, a nation asleep at the wheel for the most part. It’s such a pity.
So US citizens should be able to import Chinese Teslas clones for half the price, right ?
Does this mean I csn buy a Hilux?
I say we get rid of all patent and IP laws too and see how he does.
All he gonna do on that front is to empower his and others’ AI companies even further…
Now THAT is a good idea
Probably okay honestly. IP isn’t as strong of a barrier as the infrastructure to build the product. And he has both a car factory and a rocket factory. Twitter is the only thing that might annoy him but it’s already being cloned so there’s very little there to protect anyway.
All this bullshit from someone that never even took a US civics class. And likely has little to no idea of US history.
He learned enough. Accrue enough money, and you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Shhh the poores may figure it out!
He thinks we’re probably living in a simulation so logically killing people wouldn’t be morally wrong to him.
Crashing two planes in his first week wasn’t enough, huh?
He’s starting with planes, but next he’ll be crashing rockets in your backyard and charge you for the cleanup.
So I visited Bangladesh one time, and learned they have insanely high rates of cancer there. Why? Well it turns out that (among other reasons) the farmers had been injecting formaldehyde into their vegetables because it made them last longer on the shelves, and therefore sold better.
This is what you get with no regulations. A sick and dying population.
Go read about how horribly adulterated food was in Europe and the US in the 1800s and before. They’d add sawdust to flour, chalk, toxic metals, rotten meat was sold regularly, etc. Patent medicines were essentially drug trafficking or just scams. Soldiers in the Spanish-American war were supplied with canned meat from the US Civil War. I saw an old film from the time the Pure Food and Drug act was passed showing a can of meat being opened and it literally shot out from the gasses inside.
Exactly
“regulations are written in blood” is a quote for a reason
Fair point, on the other hand, have you considered line must go up?
What? And sacrifice my bonus?
Think of the money to be made from selling medical care for contaminated food.
Seriously. It’s like no one realizes the literal most important thing in all of the world.
Line go up.
Fuck your family, fuck your health, fuck your safety, fuck yo couch, fuck the environment, LINE GO UP!

In every civilization there comes a time where the interests of the elite grilled too far apart from the interests of the common people. Some kind of correction becomes inevitable. The way this correction plays out and who wins is another matter. But it looks like in the coming decades, maybe centuries, a new to type of economic model gets worked out, based on sustainability first, or very soon new tech is survived that allowed further line going up without destroying the planet. But living through a pivot in history is always a stressful affair.
I’m kind of relieved we’re extincting ourselves before we become an interstellar plague of misery, with children being born into inescapable, perpetual oxygen debt to the local corporate leadership on Mars and Titan colonies.
We’d make the Ferengi look like altruists. We were a mistake of evolution.
It’s the current western dominionist mindset that’s the mistake. Don’t mistake that for all of humanity (even if it currently makes up 90% of it).
I spent a decade living around Africa, and this kind of thinking is common. DDT was what everyone put on the tomatoes because pests mean loss of food. Who wants that?
Lack of relations is only about living in short-term survival thinking 24/7. Long term effects mean nothing.
DDT isn’t going to cause health problems for the people in Africa. It will cause problems for some birds near the top of the food chain however.
DDT won’t fuck you up if you die in your 20s from unrelated causes
It’s just the easiest example to use. I have maybe dozens more examples that require more storytelling and setup.
Ever had someone try to sell you a car with visible drywall screws holding the bumper on, like you were the dick for pointing them out?
They will just call it Freedom Juice™ and write on the packaging that it makes the food taste more better.
Someone with the means and knowledge should start broadcasting Rickrolls across FAA and maritime frequencies.
They had more regulations in the middle ages.
It all started with the original 10.
You have to remember that musk literally, unironically, thinks we’re npcs. He actually genuinely does not think that the masses of poor people are actually people.
So no, he won’t fucking care.
He should maybe remember that the deathclaws that punish you for skipping straight to New Vegas are also NPCs.
He paid someone to get past that part for him.
So he’s Homelander. That’s wonderful.
You got a little extra negative there.
Not negativity, you can’t overstate the direness. Just grammar.
He actually genuinely thinks that the masses of poor people aren’t actually people.
Yep fixed, fat thumbs on a tiny phone screen
Pretty sure that level of delusion is comparable to Chris-chan. Which is fitting because if there are two people I want nothing to do with outside of homicide its them. Musk because he is a sub human Anglo African and Chris-Chan because im pretty sure id default to mercy killing them.
I’m glad to see fellow Christorians out here.
How is Chris-chan on one level with musk? I believe you, I just genuinely do not know
General disconnect from tbe underlying functions of reality. In the case of Chris-Chan its a matter of their mind being scrambled by underlying mental health issues and decades of trolling, in Musks case its moreso a matter of being a rich being corrosive as a baseline and him being so narcissistic and maladaptive also a lot of ketamine.
Frankly I pity Chris-chan, as for Musk I would revel in his death.

From my point of view from the other side of the Atlantic, you guys in the US don’t have enough regulation as it is. There’s only one class of people that benefit from removal of the regulations you do have, and that’s the top 1%. It’s just going to allow them to do all of the following to make more money, at everyone else’s expense.
1: Treat their employees worse than they already do, AND put them into dangerous situations legally. 2: Cut corners to save money at the expense of safety. Think airlines, airliner manufacturers, car makers, construction. The list here could be endless. 3: Well, finance/banking regulations. That will be a field day for the finance sector I’m sure.
I mean the list is potentially endless. But the three points above will keep you busy for long enough I reckon.
No, I don’t really feel safe even this far away. We’re not immune to all of this anywhere in the world.
Your list has most of the highlights, but you’re missing 2 really important one: 1. food safety. I guess Americans don’t care what is being sprayed on their vegetables or what diseases their meat might have. And 2. environmental. Burning rivers, even more wildfires, smog in all your cities, toxic waste in your lakes, etc. Don’t think they won’t start polluting like crazy if they can.
All regulations means ALL regulations; even the ones most people would think are so common sense they don’t expect them to go away. They will. If it makes more money, they’ll get rid of any and all regulations.
Yeah I stopped at three when I realised I could be there all day when it comes to regulations that private companies need to adhere to. But I would agree those should have been on my abridged list too.
Ha, oh I get it. You are exactly right, the list is pretty much endless!
You gotta break a few eggs to have your butler make you a ribeye steak.
Breaking eggs is messy. I’ll just have my egg-breaking guy do that.
Look at mr. billionaire over here able to afford eggs
Is he the same guy as your gaming candle lighting guy?
Pfft, look at this poor using one guy for two functions.
It’s all going according to plan…we are so fucked
“Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard. It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.”
Julius Caesar, ACT II Scene II by William Shakespeare
