    Do you know that Slashdot's track record is good, or is it a guess?

  2. You are comparing the very first full-scale prototype with finished, mature products. That's obviously ridiculous.

    You're embarrassing yourself with every post like this. For your own sake, please stop.

  4. Tesla are doing great things, but they're not perfect. There. Now you no longer have to be amused when you see some people liking some things a company does and not others.

  5. So unions are bad because if you decide to ignore the union and do your own thing they don't allow it? You might want to heed your own advice.

    That's absolute nonsense, but I guess if it lets you hate on innocent people with a clean conscience there's nothing I or anyone else can say which will stop you from believing it, as that would leave you in the uncomfortable position of knowing you're a horrible person, with no excuses left.

    You are confusing passport checks with being able to move to another country with practically no paperwork, for months or permanently (if you can take care of yourself without needing access to public funds). It's not about borders, but freedom of movement. Some countries which are not EU members accept freedom of movement for the other benefits which come with it, preferential access to the EU's single market, which is massive.

    The housing crisis is the fault of Westminster, which has encouraged seeing property as an investment as opposed to a required aspect of society. The Conservatives selling off council homes without replacing them isn't helping. Westminster also had the opportunity to enforce immigration caps, but chose not to. The NHS is failing because its funding has been cut by Westminster. Thousands of NHS doctors are EU citizens - many are going home due to Brexit. EU immigrants paid more in to government coffers than they took out, so that argument doesn't hold ANY water.

    The infrastructure investment lack is also due to Westminster not wanting to spend. What's funny is the EU has spent lots of money in impoverished parts of the UK making up for Westminster's London-centric attitude.

    So you voted leave and handed power to the very political entity which caused the problems you cited. Well done. History will not look kindly upon you.

    That's not actually true. Every change was put before the country in a general election. Read through the Conservatives' manifestos from the periods in question, and you'll see these policies outlined.

    This takes time to arrange, though, and the UK doesn't have the time or negotiators to achieve it in the time available. The UK has relied on the EU for so much of its negotiation that it is simply ill-equipped to strike out on its own without spending a lot of time and effort in replacing these negotiators. It also doesn't help that great swathes of support staff for all national institutions are from the EU, and those workers might just choose to leave, as the guarantees regarding their loved ones' ability to stay with them are non-existent.

    And every concession from the EU will come at a price. This is what happens when you take a seat at the negotiating table. The weird thing is Britain decided to change sides of that table from the well-populated side filled to the rafters with seasoned international diplomats to sit alone on the other side, struggling to remember how this whole thing is supposed to work.
