FACTS yes Tesla had some build quality issues, with EARLY models. They've ironed most of it out and have great build quality now
Source: have driven a new model 3 many times

I didn't realize building the singularity would be so underwhelming.

Rule 34. Plus, fakes of celebrities has been around for almost as long as the internet has. The only difference is that the quality of fakes has improved, exponentially.
To be honest, porn is a major factor on whether some technologies are taken up by the masses. :D

Honestly even then, what is an extra $50,000 a year even going to do for me? I don’t not want more money, but if I have to go from spending exactly 40 hours a week on working, to nearly 60 working, getting ready and commuting, I’ll never have time to enjoy that money. I don’t even have the time or energy to use the money I’m already making at 40 hours a week from home.
I’ll come into the office 3 days a week for 4 hours a day if you pay me the same and don’t expect me to do any other work at home. That would be a meaningful positive change in my life.

Yeah, that approach has really worked for robbery, murder, hacking... and all the other things people shouldn't do. :D

Alexa and Siri have to worry. So does the Google text box. Most other people will find ways to take ownership of what content chatgpt generates, so if anything, they will excel rather than be replaced.

Yep, they did something similar with photocopiers and paper currency, I believe.

tl;dr
>Chief among them is red tape. From 1990 to 2020, the time required to construct new chip plants (called fabs) in the US soared by 38%. Clean Air Act permits can take 18 months. National Environmental Policy Act reviews take an average of four and a half years. A half dozen other federal laws may come into play, plus endless state and local variants. [...] Another challenge is that the US lacks the needed workforce for this industry, thanks partly to a broken immigration system. [...] A final concern is politics. Companies hoping for significant Chips Act funding must comply with an array of new government rules and pointed suggestions, meant to advantage labor unions, favored demographics, “empowered community partners” and the like.
Personal take: America can't build things anymore. America doesn't want to build things anymore. Americans don't want to build things anymore. Building things is a difficult, dirty, and usually demoralizing process of iterative failure until a usable design is chiseled out. Americans do not want factories, they do not want a huge industrial concern requiring a carefully negotiated social contract, and they don't want the engineers who might introduce scary things like workers' rights into our society. It is socially unacceptable to have a lowly machine tool or electrical engineering job, and it is unacceptable to build such facilities in America. The Northeast doesn't have enough land, the South doesn't have enough education, midwesterners are distrustful of electronics, and the west coast bans it on enviomental grounds. Asia doesn't have such concerns and just builds, they will win as a result.

Literally, the first paragraph (which I read) mentions how the "simple solution" is subsidies "prudently applied" and then talks about the merits of the asian sector over ours in the following. Thats literally the first half of the article. Also, subsidizing all these fucking corps to do our shit for us is literally how were here in the first place with most our industry shipped offshore.

Unions have progressive disciplinary policies in place to fire workers that do not fulfill their expectations of employment. No union has a contract that allows that type of behaviour because the workers themselves would be negatively harmed by such unreliable behaviour.
You're bothered by the incompetence of your manager to go through the process laid out in the union's disciplinary policy and then blaming the entire union for it.
If the worker was actually that poor of a performer, the manager could have even gotten workers to establish a collective complaint against their colleague.
Your manager refuses to understand the rules and you suffered the consequences for it.
If you no longer worker for the union, perhaps you can tell me the union and the year so I can source their collective agreement for myself because I have never heard of a union that wouldn't at least have a discussion with that coworker.

Check again. Last year, Consumer Reports ranked Tesla above Volkswagen, Mercedes, Jeep, and GM. New models are always unreliable and improve over time. Most of the non-Tesla EVs are now at the bottom of the list, because they are new models.

And there's the elitism from this whole work from home argument. I don't give a rats ass about office workers because they look down on everyone else. It's funny that ya'll try to act like the downtrodden when you are part of a privileged class.

So basically you're mad you can't prove me wrong got it. Because that's THE ONLY reason to give a response like that.
