... usually due to either a lack of personal maturity and self-knowledge, and/or an inability to deal with one's own life that causes them to reach for drugs as a quick-fix "remedy"
Simplistic answers to complex problems set off the trip (love the play) wires.
You left out a whole set of parameters both known, and suspected, as contributors of drug addiction/use.
As one obvious example: Some people are wired for addictive/obsessive/compulsive behavior.
As to whether or not state law requires auto dealers to be licensed, and by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer, we could research to see if any recently relevant literature exists on the matter and find an article here that says, "State law requires auto dealers to be licensed, and by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer..."
I didn't read all of your post. I stopped at, "First of all, my friend did NOT have a copy of the ordinance, he merely was aware of what the ordnance said."
That "awareness," kills the rest of your non-argument.
Tesla knew damn well it was breaking the law. That's why they stopped.
While that might ordinarily be the case, unless there is some law of statute which says that only dealers can offer test drives in Iowa, his conclusion is fallacious.
Good point. There actually IS some law of [sic] statute which says that only dealers can offer test drives in Iowa.
You quoted it:
by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer, Steier said.
And you offer this contradiction:
He wasn't offering to sell the car, but he was definitely arranging test drives for it.
So, you're saying he wasn't acting like a dealer, so how is that relevant?
I repeat:
by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer, Steier said.

You're the reason we can't have nice articles.

Sadly, that omission trashed out your whole post.
You say it's not illegal and then offer arguments.
By way of rebuttal, I offer this:
State law requires auto dealers to be licensed, and by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer, ...

Your narrative does nothing to negate this (FTFA):
State law requires auto dealers to be licensed, and by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer ...
Interpretation would be an issue if the quote were:
Lut tiu bang òi hi nhng k buôn bán ma tuý t ng c cp phép, và bng cách a cho th nghim a cng, Tesla là hành ng nh mt ngi bán ...
For ease of understanding, here's that, interpreted:
State law requires auto dealers to be licensed, and by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer ...
Actually, it does.

You're finally getting it. I'm glad there's at least one person who know their history.
Not ONE unauthorized car dealer sold any automobiles during the entire American Revolution.
Good catch.
Politicians give up money and sell their grandmothers for votes.
And, politicians only need to know how social media works as a vote-getting machine.
And that's all there is to that.
The ONLY currency politicians deal with is votes.
Regarding technology you and I use, politicians are on a level playing field.
To think otherwise is to suggest, for instance, that politicians don't know how to send text messages or send a tweet.
Judging by the lack of judgement, I judge that they do

Notice that most people wear a surveillance device (known in newspeak as "cellphone" or "smartphone") and you don't.
Don't you want to be liked? Don't you want to blend in? Don't you want to be normal? Don't you want to join in reindeer games?
You already have access to /. and you are spying my post.
Maybe you should cut that out.
Yeah, they do, just like you do except maybe even more.
Big business keeps them informed through massive lobbying and super PACs. They know more about it than you do.
Politicians don't need to know how to make money from technology. They need to know how to get votes from technology.

No. In an internal memo I pretended to receive yesterday from the BBC, all streaming requests will be redirected to this on-board recording.
After extensive test flights, perhaps we will find that passengers will be required to speak using a monotonous sound that are much easi[ly] ignored.
Perhaps they would charge you triple because, apparently, you'd require assistance finding your way to the exit.

Your analogy breaks down because you have a friend who had a copy of the ordinance that contradicted ...
Please cite the story about how Tesla presented documents that contradicted ...
They didn't. They simply complied with the law.
Tesla seems to care. They are pissed that what they were attempting to do is illegal, so they are not doing it because Tesla cares, right?
Until then, Tesla has to cease and desist because what they were attempting to do is illegal, am I right?
What are you on about? Test drives are not illegal.
From TFS:
The Iowa Department of Transportation said the test drives were illegal for two reasons: ...
See, was that so hard?
... because it's illegal.
Nothing else matters at all. If it's against the law, then it is what it is.
Truly, I feel the big bad monster out there is business. They have ways of getting their tentacles into everything.
It all started when the shoe shine boy started taking tips for information.
