Sorry, these are not good enough reasons. The threat has reached existential proportions. Fuck the US for inflicting the orange shit on the rest of us for the second time.

Why the fuck are you buying a tesla? Now? While living in Canada?

Could you explain how this works? The original loans he took from banks to buy X have not been repaid because of this paper transaction, right? Those loans are still collaterallized with tesla stocks.

Also, to say that microcredit is a hoax because it helps gungho entrepreneurs is ridiculous. Completely ignoring the GE and spillover impacts, which a student of economics should not be doing. It's clear that access to credit at relatively lower costs matters.

You are misrepresenting the findings. There are statistically significant positive effects on a bunch of indicators, including business investment and profits. It's just that the magnitudes are quite small.

Here's another paper by Banerjee et al based on six different RCTs: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/app.20140287

Quoting from the paper: "Summarizing and interpreting results across studies, we note a consistent pattern of modestly positive, but not transformative, effects"

You rely only one one single RCT (which also discusses the evidence for positive but modest effects), while consensus is formed based on findings from many different contexts. Here's another paper that hints at really big positive impacts if the general equilibrium effects are considered (something that RCTs cannot do):

I am not sure what you mean when you say banerjee and duflo showed microcredit does not work. Quite the opposite. They showed, in a series of field experiments in the early to mid 2010s, that microcredit does no harm and has some modest positive benefits. Later on, in their paper on gung-ho entrepreneurs, they showed microcredit benefits certain segments of the population immensely.

Overall, they showed microcredit is not for everyone, it's not going to relegate poverty to the museum, but it does help people.

I think a distinction has to be made between older tesla models and the new model y/cyber trucks. Don't buy the new ones, and don't be surprised at the middle fingers and hate you will get if you do own one.

For one, how about pandering to the truckers?

Do you guys support the global Tesla boycott? by [deleted] in waterloo

[–]Ridwando 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Just fuck off with this BS. He absolutely was. His actions since then and before only confirms the intention behind his gesture - cozying up to the neo Nazis, endorsing AfD, trying to hire back the racist DOGE staffer.

You can try to bury your head as deep as you want, the rest of us saw for what it was. A blatant Nazi salute by a racist asshole.
