We'll see in 4 years then if the strategy of giving the most extreme groups money and weapons will have a different result this time. If only there were past examples we could learn from.

This was always the unspoken convention between the business elites and the guys that railed against immigration and abortion. You can keep talking about it as long as you don't actually do anything about it. At some point the true believers just took over and thought they should pull the trigger on all those things.

It doesn't help that Democrats have no idea how to talk about this issue either. Banning H1B visas and forcing companies to sponsor for a full green card would probably be pretty popular with every constituency of the Democratic party (unions, liberals, recent immigrants, ...).

Elon's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

Man, how is this something you just share in an interview as if it's just a nice piece of family history.

Yeah, good point. A judge signed a warrant on just 'this place uses more electricity than others'? The court system's just a rubber stamp at this stage.

Columbine was 25 years ago, those 'kids' are in their 40s now and nothing's changed.

Edit: not saying it was their responsibility to fix it, just that the school shooting stuff has been a reality for a whole generation.

Look at what you get when you try to appease Republicans by appointing a federalist society judge to be AG in exchange for 0 Republican votes.

Statements like that are just going to make it easier for the UAW to unionise those plants. Union factory workers don't sleep on the floor.

Are they choosing, or can't they afford to own a car with insurance and petrol costs going through the roof?

It's not just the corporations renting those offices, it's the politicians of downtown areas that fear a downturn in tax revenue due to more empty offices and less people getting their daily coffee/lunch/after work drinks.

And of course, if everyone's working remotely, this means it's a lot easier to find a better job without even needing to leave the house to interview, which gives employees a better bargaining position (downside is that employers will start looking at employees in lower paying countries as well).
