Huh? I though PA was supposed to be purple. I mean, I remembered it took days to "find enough votes" for Biden to inch across the the finish line in that state.

Unless Shapiro is that centrist enough...
Purple doesn't mean tossup, purple means a state can be realistically swung either way. Any state classified as Tossup or as Lean-Red/Blue is a purple state.

Or, in short, not all purple states are equal.
 
This is the exact fucking cope that Communists use.

Pretty sure Communists did not point to their higher quality cars, more productive factories, and displacement of American industry in the global market as a "cope," because, uh, unlike Toyota, they did none of those things.

The irony of ironies here is that the success of the Japanese auto industry is largely due to these two guys:

W. Edwards Deming and Joseph M. Juran were involved in wartime production in WW2, where they each developed methods of statistical control and improvement of efficiency, because the Allies needed immense quantities of materiel, they needed them now, and they needed to work. They attempted to share their insights with American auto manufacturers after the war and were told politely to fuck off. So they went to Japan and consulted with the guys who took their teachings and build industrial empires at Honda, Toyota, Sony, Toshiba, and other companies.

When America was in the throes of panic over Japanese companies kicking their asses, these guys once again offered their services to American companies to help them get their shit together. They were told once again to fuck off. America decided to move its manufacturing to China instead and beat the Japs on price.
 
Musk’s problem is that everything has to be new and innovative. Just because the drivetrain is electric does not change how to manufacture and install a seat. The major car makers have car manufacture down to a science.

Also making a tangible item is vastly different then coding some app or website. Tesla’s insistence to run like a startup is going to catch up with them. You can’t use your customers as a beta test with a car.

Silicon Valley is full of people who think that anyone who wasn't already a centimillionaire by age thirty is a fucking retard who has nothing of value to say and no useful experience to learn from.

Musk's single biggest contribution to the auto industry was recognizing that the average regulator has the intelligence, preferences, and charisma of Moviebob, and if you promise him moon wheat and uploading his consciousness to the Consoomotron 9000-K, he will look the other way while you dump mercury directly into the water supply of a children's cancer ward.
 
Sorry for the doublepost, but Matt Drudge is the HotWheels of conservative media.

Edit: scratch that, there's a few contenders for that title, including but not limited to David French, David Brock, Jonah Goldberg, and Joe Scarborough.
Pretty much the entire National Review and Bulwark crew.
>push for electric vehicles
>exclude the one company that's done more for EVs than anybody else because HE"S A BIG MEANIE

Bold strategy, cornpop.
Your mistake is assuming that the push for EVs is actually about improving the environment or making EVs more widely used and affordable to the average joe.
Is it common for politicians to fundraise through private messages? One of my twitter burners follows a ton of democrat politicians but the only one that has ever messaged me is Eric Swalwell.

I've wondered what would happen if you responded to these fundraising texts and emails with cussing the sender out or sending a pic like goatse.
 
wean off younger people to invest in their own future and don't pay into the system.
Then don't make me pay for the poor decisions of those who came before me.
Reminder that an income tax is based on the predicate that you do not deserve the full value of your labor.
The question is when the system collapses? The answer is when the US meets Malthusian catastrophe.

I am tired of this line.

Even if they -convicted- Trump of a felony he could still run. Even if he was -behind bars- he could still run. Please look up Eugene V. Debs, a man arrested and convicted of -sedition- who was still able to run for President while still in prison.

This line is simply moronic against all historical precedence, the law, and any sort of actual merit.
I'll fully accept being called out to the carpet on this one, but, why is the meme that if they can just get a Felony on Trump's record, he's ineligible to run? Is that literally coming out of thin air and desperation?

Misreading of the law, mixed with a lack of understanding of what controls qualification for president. Short version, having a felony conviction does bar you from running for office... -except- for President which has its own constitutional qualifications which supersede and overrides all others.
