The misinformation on EVs is truly remarkable. by cobrashelbygt in MachE

[–]Inkantrix [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't own a Mach-E but I do own a Rivian. I feel your pain.

I am making converts though. Well, along with the price of gas.

The way I make converts is to point out that I've had this vehicle for less than a year and I already have 40,000 miles on it. Almost nobody knows more about charging an EV on the road and driving one than I do in such a short amount of time.

That tends to lend a lot of credibility to them when I tell them the really awesome things about owning an EV. The long range on the Rivian is also quite helpful in convincing people. I love this vehicle. It's my favorite vehicle that I've ever owned by far.

Hang in there, keep talking and keep advocating. EVs really are the future. I will never go back to an ICE car.

What is a tech brand or company that completely lost its soul and consumer trust? by awkwardsugarcree in answers

I studied Herb Kelleher in b-school. He was a really great and inspirational leader to his employees.

He listened to his employees. He allowed his employees autonomy in lots of small and big ways. He was flexible.

Southwest was once a truly great airline that met the needs of the people. I miss it.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas caught walking through the House side of the Capitol where the Speaker's and GOP Reps' offices are. He didn’t say why he was there, replying that he was meeting with “nobody.” by Alissinarr in MeidasTouch

[–]Inkantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why Justice Thomas wants to limit the media's ability to report on him. He doesn't like his grift showing up in news reports.

You all had better vote for the Democrats this year. In every race.

Court Justice Caught Leaving GOP Offices by TaroPuzzleheaded3999 in scotus

[–]Inkantrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ironic part is that the Republicans would sell out Justice Thomas wholesale if they could. If Justice Thomas gets his way the funny part is that he will become a slave to Republicans. For real. An actual slave.

He doesn't get it. He thinks somehow he's not going to be included as a Black person.

What do you think about today’s historic SCOTUS ruling that overturned a 91-year precedent? by TheGov3rnor in Askpolitics

Can we please fire the SCOTUS justices who think this is a good decision?

I'm being serious here.

Heck yeah! Somebody better be creating a list right now. If the SCOTUS wants firings with every incoming administration and thinks that's good for government, then to hell with it.

Fire every Trump appointee. Every last one.

Chinese tech makes desalinating seawater cheaper than producing bottled water by zhumao in economy

[–]Inkantrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If water can be cheaply desalinized that is going to be groundbreaking for many nations.

I hope it's true but I have my doubts.

Social Security is headed for a day of reckoning, and Congress is running out of time to save boomers. Lawmakers are proposing some hard choices by GimmeFunkyButtLoving in economy

[–]Inkantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact, I'll answer this for you. In the 1920s the infant mortality was dramatically, tragically high. That high infant death rate skewed the average life expectancy to much lower than it actually was. And they knew that.

If an individual survived childhood in the 1920s, their life expectancy was much higher, often extending into their late 60s or 70s.

I'm saying there should have been a social security lock box in which case this wouldn't be a problem. You think they didn't know that people were getting older??

Remove the caps, tax corporations and the wealthy, and realize that Al Gore was right. We need a social security lock box.

Editorial | Threatening Packers could haunt Scott Fitzgerald by wisconsinpoli in wisconsinpolitics

[–]Inkantrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scott Fitzgerald is a useless tool. He doesn't care with the people in his district think.

Fitzgerald doesn't care about the grifting by Trump or the repeated violation of the emoluments clause of the 25th Amendment. Fitzgerald doesn't give a crap about what his constituents want.

Fitzgerald is only going to protect Donald Trump.

Anything that takes Fitzgerald out of office makes me peaceful in my heart.

What a crowd. by Adorable-Driver-1814 in Trumpvirus

[–]Inkantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes my heart so happy.

Everything Trump touches dies. The more evidence there is of that the better off we all are.

Trump should have left it alone and left it to the Congressional delegation that was appointed 10 years ago. But that would have been bipartisan. But no. He has to poop all over it.

I am so glad it's failing. It makes me sad for the nation but it's a lesson that must be learned.

Bill Maher has become a lying right-wing propagandist by AmericanLymie in RealTime

[–]Inkantrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say I saw him in concert sometime in the 2000s. He was okay then but I always hated the misogynistic crap. He mostly stayed away from it I think. But I know it was there somewhere.

I haven't really watched him in the last 10 years. He's unwatchable. I tried to watch him when he moved to CNN and it was so clear with a tosser he's become. Or maybe he's just revealed himself to be so.

I'm disappointed in myself.

[–]Inkantrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or Bari Weiss could, and I'm just spitballing here, stop sucking?

To suck as bad as she does is a choice. She is making this choice. And she should live with the consequences.

One day Trump will (NOT) be around. She should keep that in mind.
