You're right. "Get it done now" This is why we have defective cars catching fire. Buildings with no sprinklers killing people. And no low center or gravity, multi chamber, thicker metal, train cars that carry oil. The tragic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that killed those people on the platform because they didn't want to take time to put a safety valve on.. etc.
Even if they are proved to be dangerous. They won't fix it. And if you do sue them. It will be your tax dollars: For court fees. And the settlement will probably come out of your taxes. They know how to buy Lobbyists and manipulate laws. You can't fight big companies. Look what happened to Flint Michigan.. nothing. People cant move from their houses until they pay for utility repairs and their houses are not worth squat.
I hope what you are saying does not happen at least till the end of my life. I can't picture not going to the shopping mall, grocery store, or hardware store. For me, what would I have left to do? Stay home and play with my computer? Play my piano? (fun for a while). And never being able to see or hold the object in my hand before I buy it? Well.. I guess everybody has different tastes. It leaves very few places to see people, and perhaps even to start a conversation.
Well, I got new, 2017, bare bones, Toyota Corolla for under $24,000.00. (extended waranty cost me close to $3,000.00) But you must be thinking of some other brands, which indeed are more expensive. (I'm cheap, I almost bought a Yaris) It's interesting to know that Tesla's Insurance is low, I'm pleasantly surprised! If I had the money, I'd buy one. I love electric cars. Gas Engines: Due to frictional losses, you only get 10% of horsepower at the wheels. A 500 peak gas horsepower engine is only getting 50 hp to the wheels, due to frictional losses. A 50 hp DC Electric motor, with pulse width modulation can deliver 50 hp after just a few revolutions. They can temporarily withstand over voltage. But you pay with a shorter lifespan Here's an Electric Drag Racing Site that has existed for for way over a decade:

Again, that's the price I saw on Google. And again, maybe you know more about prices that I. And maybe you can afford the price, and insurance, on that vehicle.. I do LIKE a car that gets a million miles! (don't know about it rusting to death before it does:(
I'm sorry but I disagree. People don't have the money to shop, period. ON the other hand - the Web: Let's think about it for a second. Example: You buy a coat or a pair of pants online, They don't fit or something is wrong with them. You have to re-box the item, Spend the time to go, and/or wait in line in the post office if its busy. Talk to the post person to get an address label. Wait for the product to get back to get your money, or exchange the product. - Example: Going to the store. Something doesn't fit you. You simply put it back on the rack or whatever. You move on to the next item. It fits. You buy the right one. Done! One trip did that all. Even I shop on the Web for computer/electronic/cookware items. Because the stores now only stock mainstream items. I want to see and feel what I'm going to buy before I buy it. I'm not going to blindly buy a car or a motorcycle online without seeing/driving it. I still go to Office max for items. The are the same price or a few bucks more. With a 2 week trial period to return the item I'm sold! And I get to closely visualize the product when I'm at the store. Almost everyone in this room knows that a computer PSU that is light, is cheaply made.
Sorry you took my comment that way. I wanted you to know that its not like Elon Musk to take a chance on his stocks like that. He's a brainey bright dude!
Umm. Google didn't say that about the Model 3. But maybe you know more about car pricing than me. I'm NOT against electric cars. I think electric cars are the greatest thing since sliced bread! But even 35k is a hefty price for the average Joe or Susan. And Insurance rates are NOT going down!! OUCH!.. But a million miles on one car? That's TEMPTING.
Bull Hooey getting pretty deep here! Pilots make so little that they have to get a second job to eat. They even had TV specials on it. I think they don't know where to put the decimal point $3,500.00 savings sounds more sane.
With the Model 3 costing just under Eighty Thousand there aren't going to be many buyers. Even regular stores and malls are closing at an alarming rate. People with money, are not going to open their wallets for it. I sincerely hopes he hangs onto his stocks instead.. Is he just getting bored??

The last time the government almost shut down it cost us only 24 billion. Pocket change!!
We dooomed!! Invader Zim's robot Gir https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Well done post!
Thank you Jason!!
Um. I made a mistake. Disregard the previous statement.
Keep your @!!!kin hands off of it! I also like the Unity episode on "Rick and Morty".
Yea, lucky them!!
Thank you!!!!
Yup! And in 2016 the polar votex broke up and now we have chaotic weather. They can kind of predict it.
I'm so glad they have a backup for a ship. Now if they could just figure out one for the Web..
That's the first time I ever saw a search engine get paranoid!!
What you are saying is so very true!!

The same configuration for 13 years?! Wow!
Maybe they are counting the fight or flight reaction. Being overstressed is known to kill brain cells.
Gee.. Their necks must be awfully stiff at the end of the day. Looking down all the time.
