others _must_ work and have their money taken without any kind of compensation or benefit.
That's an unpreventable cost of maintaining a civilization. Either pay these people not to go out and commit crimes, or pay police to clean up after. I much prefer the former myself, because it results in the least deaths and violence and is probably cheaper.
I laugh when the shareholders say, "but what about me?". Possibly the biggest motivation to keep companies honest is to hurt the shareholders. We should be expecting people to consider the moral standing of companies they invest in and let them hurt when they have supported a company that will do something like this.
You want excellent transit that is on time and clean and safe, you have to pay with it through taxes. Business and people always resist it. You would rather pay a trashy company every day of your life to monitor your movements than have your taxes a percent.
Well, I have to look at a bunch of things at a time. Email client, browser, password manager, other desktop which also has browser and terminal windows, multiple browser windows, and so forth. I think pretty much everyone does. Do I switch desktops a lot while I am working? Absolutely. Some times one email can probably generate 100 switches back and forth. Eventually you figure out an efficient way to arrange things and it's just one hotkey to switch; even if I had multiple monitors, the guest machine desktops can't span them anyway. Like I said, personal preference.
Meh, using multiple applications with a single screen is largely a matter of preference. I don't just work with multiple applications, I work in multiple virtual machine desktops. I feel a little more productive when I work with two monitors but not enough to work 100% at a desk without other comforts. There is a thing called 'virtual desktops' that mostly makes up for being on a single screen.
Yeah, I don't know anyone who uses a laptop solely at a desk. I never use mine at a desk, usually either the couch or my bed. As I write this I am in a hotel with a group of people on vacation and there are at least five people with laptops not using them at their desk.
On the contrary, buying into a fleet of self driving cars is a terrible idea if you use it in prime time. A fleet will need to have enough cars for everyone to go into work in the morning and come back in the afternoon and this will happen at pretty much the same time. You'll be paying for that fleet to be at least 50% idle the remainder of the day. Likewise on nice weekends when people want to go to the beach or to the park, etc. Normally when we do a weekend trip we pack a lot of optional things and leave them in the vehicle until we need them. That's also out the window if you are borrowing someone else's car.
That's a pretty good transit system if it goes where you want when you want. Most buses I have to walk 20 minutes to get to a stop (not where I want) and each route comes around only around every 30-40 minutes (not when I want).
I'm not connected to Tesla in any way and I don't have shares in the company. In this case I just happened to read an article on CNN and then saw a Slashdot comment directly refuting it so I asked if it was true. Then people got very, very defensive.
The problem with Netflix is, if they have a movie and it achieves more than 7 on imdb (in other words, it is good) you have probably already seen it years ago.
How did you get that content into your NAS.. There are very fer places in the world where you can rip a DVD or Blu-Ray and not be a 'pirate' already just for doing that.
I see now why the truth never comes out. 20 comments on this one and the truth still doesn't come out. Some people saying "well it's kind of true but kind of not". Well then I choose to believe the article. Am I going to go research it further? Why would I spend time on that when I don't care about Tesla.
If it's your case that a rental car costs less than depreciation and wear and tear on an owned vehicle then there must be a lot of bankrupt car rental agencies out there. I mean, Hertz must be barely hanging on if every person they rent the car to depreciates it more than they pay in the rental fees.

You call it stealing, yet you probably use roads, water, have your garbage picked up. All with the proceeds from "theft".

Simple, penalties need to be high enough to affect stock performance. Let everything else take care of itself.

Again.. no reference. These are conspiracy theories.
It's regulated because there can only be so many cars on the road. I think that has already been covered.
Where is this evidence that taxi companies collude with one another? Many people say it but never present it.
Imagine how bad it would be with 10000 more yellow cabs on the road.

Someone has to pay for excellent transit! Everyone resists when taxes go up, people and busonesses alike. It's that simple.

...you forgot RAPIST millionaires and billionaires. I know they are all not, but it sure seems to be common in the industry. Casting couch anyone?
How about they thank the heavens for having a decent job with a decent wage and live in the best country on earth.
Simple, because the economy forces costs up. Everyone is paying to be in the best country on earth.

No, America still makes us look good.

So I just read that Tesla asked for refunds from dealers in order to cover their debts. I suppose this is a lie as well?

You go long distance hiking with your laptop? You have other problems.
