  • The problem is that this happens within normal spec. He explains it in the video.

    So you’re probably fine towing at the rated limit… as long as you stay on flat ground. As soon as you crest a hill, all that weight becomes vertical for a few seconds.

    Additionally, aluminum stresses over time, like bending a piece of plastic. The first time you do it, it might be fine. The tenth time it might not.

    The Cybertruck is not for serious towing.




















  • You know what a normal database is.

    The Blockchain is a distributed database instead of a centralized one where normally people can verify that each other part of the database is correct.

    Generally anything a distributed database can do, a centralized database in good hands can do better. Except for crimes. It’s more difficult to get away with crimes when they can be shut down in one place.

    Also it’s harder to undo Blockchain/crypto stuff. They sell this as a benefit while the primary use is scams and rug pulls.

    “The government can’t get your money back.” Yeah, gonna be hard to get back thr money you were scammed out of with a court order, isn’t it.

    They also try to sell it as anonymous, but it’s very much not. Everything is on the record, so if they link you to an address (and they generally can), they can see every transaction you’ve ever made. There used to be services to obfuscate this, but the government has well and truly broken through those. They can find you of they want to.

    Crypto is a an MLM for guys. You can make money, if you’re lucky enough to be the scammer and not the scammee.













  • We still need people to perform basic functions, and capitalism is a way to do that. “Renting humans” as it were. I think we can certainly raise the minimum a fair bit. Higher minimum wage works being everyone up. I think we could and should get the working week down from 40 hours to 35. That takes covering a full seven day week from 4.2 shifts to 4.8 (or five with a bit of overlap).

    Agree on the estate tax. It used to be a thing. Republicans had ground it down over the years, and just recently finished it off.

    Universal healthcare does a ton for freedom and entrepreneurship.

    When you spread the money thin, it does run out quickly. But I think we can still afford those things if we just actually tax billionaires and corporations. And stop taxing payroll more than capital investment. Usury is a sin. Anything that makes money from having money needs a big leash.

    And of course money nearly all the way out of politics.

    I’m not looking for a radical change from what we had before.
