Show me data that shows trades hiring up 'useless degree college' grads? You think the people that didn't go for 'four year parties' didn't learn anything in the same time?
I know people in those fields. When faced with some dumb snot who just wasted 4 years getting a * studies degree? Their answer isn't 'no', it's 'hell no!'
Like everybody else, they like to hire people like themselves. These guys work hard and have deep practical knowledge. 'Hard working' is the last term I'd use to describe most snowflakes. Practical knowledge? They likely have less practical knowledge than before they started college.
There are common patterns among those who can afford 4 years of school, without thought to future employability. They're going to be fapping away at 'self actualization', rather than working.
The rich person would keep the capital off-shore if our investment tax rate was that high. All the capital would seek returns and leave.
Sure the American investors would have to cheat to get away with it, but the foreign capital wouldn't even have to make that minor effort.
Nobody really rich pays inheritance taxes. They can afford estate planning, 'pass through' insurance and trusts.
I don't even know how to address stupidity like: 'now the US government can inject that money back into the US economy'. You really think the government allocates resources better? Really? How old are you?
Musk is chasing economies of scale. This pile of batteries are likely 'loss leaders', but he doesn't care. He needs his battery plant running, balls out, 3 shifts.
There was someone on/. a week or so ago claiming there were 30 new battery megafactories coming online soon. I'm skeptical, but that kind of overshoot does happen. Buy 'Tesla automotive', short 'Tesla batteries', if true.
Many years ago, they were clients. Nice folks, Adelaide is a really nice city. I guarantee you, they crunched the numbers four different ways, then hired consultants to crunch the numbers (as cover). I also guarantee you they are very concerned about good and bad publicity. Not wanting politicians sticking their noses into things outside their competence, like grid operations. Which is what bad publicity gets you in SA. At the time they were winding up the regional power pool, which tells you how long ago this was...damn I'm old. I'm pretty amazed ETSA could move this fast, they couldn't have done it back then.
I've never seen such an incompetently managed network in my fucking life. Apparently, a government PHB had hired EDS to do the job. EDS was running the servers for ETSA in fucking Victoria, apparently over IP by carrier pigeon. As a practical matter their network didn't work, no local shares 'allowed'. It took all day to move a file from one workstation to another, all work had to be done against data on the hard drive.
I assume they fixed this a decade or more ago, but at the time 'the contract is signed, nothing anybody can do about it, for years.'
And there it sat. No spider of Cat-5 as they setup their own, floor at a time, outlaw network and servers. Bunch of law abiders, I didn't really understand them, WTF, do what you gotta do. Route around EDS for fucks sake. (Adelaide is smug about being 'not a prison colony', like the rest of Australia is. Bunch of goddamn law abiders.)
You wouldn't want to cycle your batteries that deep. Half power cycles and they will last _many_ times longer. Which will slow down the payback, but increase it.
Long after all the current politicians have left office. Any law set to take effect in 20 years is meaningless propaganda.
They squinted at the cost curves and guessed when it would be academic anyhow. If they are wrong, you can guarantee that pragmatic politicians in 2035 will revisit this.

Great illustration: How much is a list of people like the parent (smug chumps) worth? A fucking fortune, maybe not $14 billion though.
Reread the thread. You've lost it.
Meta it.
A multiplayer game where you score points by getting other players to walk in front of busses, into canals, over cliffs etc.
They're just having a long extended cry. It will do them good.
Low skill office jobs != skilled trades.

The chump list. Duh.
Whole food's customers are stupid money. Everybody likes stupid money.
If you have an entry in Whole Foods database, expect Amazon to raise your prices, you obviously _like_ to overpay.

From you? Now that's irony.
If you're trying to live your life on minimum wage, you're doing it wrong.
Are they? You'd hire a useless degree type snowflake for a welding job?
I wouldn't.
You're not disagreeing. It's propaganda.
Memory is a specific thing that I didn't mention at all. For batteries with memory (NiCad) you _do_ want to deep cycle them.
LiPo life is definitely affected by how deep you cycle them.
It appears you are technically correct, but babbling about irrelevant things.

Set to take effect in 24 years. It's just posing.

Ariel isn't even a startup car company anymore.
Men are allowed 'one free grope'...Actually no they aren't, only Bill Clinton.
Hillary 'believes rape victims' except her husband's.
Do you even get South Park?
One little shit dressing up like Hitler, sieg heiling, trying to exterminate the jews etc and you Germans don't think it's funny...lame.
The age of consent in Vatican city was recently raised, to fourteen.
There are fuckwits claiming to have PTSD from harshly worded tweets. Nobody takes them seriously, but they exist.
Statistically, 'Lesbians' are much less fixed in their orientation vs. gay men. Just a phase for many.
Men on the other hand, either suck dicks or they don't. Some claim that actual bi men are really really rare, mostly gay men giving their moms hope.
I went to catholic HS.
They had a couple come in and lecture about the rhythm method. Unfortunately they lived about a block from me.
I asked: 'How many children do you have?' Knowing the answer (17). Yikes.
They use the prison definition of gay. Only the 'catcher' is gay, the 'pitcher' is just a normal Arab.
