I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

So are we supposed to just ignore this guy just casually compared Zelenskyy's democratically elected government of Ukraine with the Taliban and Iran's mullahs?

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Awesome. Been a while since I saw baby-fasc hating on the concept of electric cars. Most I run into these days are all for electric cars, seeing them as the best way to avoid meaningful change.

Replacement of all ICE vehicles with EV is not a meaningful change?  :mellow:

Its an impossible dream which distracts from the actual needed changes of reducing our reliance on cars overall.

The Minsky Moment

I've driven a tesla for around 4 years now and never had a range problem.  Although I live in the civilized and urbanized northeast and not the proto-Mad Max dystopian wasteland of rural and exurban Texas.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Believe it or not there are tons of Teslas on the roads here (three on my street alone) and plenty of places to charge them.

Well duh, they converted all the gas stations to diners there.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Yeah, this shit just reinforces my notion that the parties get together to coordinate the week's outrage porn.  Democrats will say we need electric cars while ignoring the fossil fuels which power the electricity and the need for less horrible public transportation. Republicans then get triggered and howl about how lectric cars are teh Satan and soyboybetacuckinsertcraphere.

Nothing will change one way or the other.
PDH!
