  2. unintended consequences on Why Car Salesmen Don't Want To Sell Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    If the car dealerships are closed all the car salesmen will become something else salesmen. What if they end up selling computers & software? What if you have to deal with them on a regular basis? Worse yet, what if they take your boss golfing and buy him a hat?

    There have been a few times when I've thought along the lines of, "If it does all kick off, at least we'll know where we are. This tension and uncertainty is getting on my nerves."

    "After a certain point. You come to work to do your passions. I have all the money in the world as it is .." Basically he told me the folks he knows work to piss on their other business owners to show who is top dog.

    Sport analogy: if we made a touchdown 5 points and a field goal 2, most of the time whoever won before would still win now. It would affect everyone equally, right?

    But that simply can't be so. Because everyone says that if we put their taxes up, they won't try so hard to make jobs for us!

    At least with a CLI you can try random combinations of letters and see if they do anything, or what man comes up with. Since most of the are short there aren't that many to try.

    With the shit these "UX" specialists come up with what do you do? Three clockwise loops, a tap in each corner (going anti-clockwise from bottom right) then shake it up and down 17 times? Nope. OK, try four loops...
