Ding ding ding. We probably have a winner here.  Instead of being "petty", their target audience was the labor unions....who just recently endorsed Biden.

Ah, so it was a political snub

Or maaaaybe the announcement wasn't only about EVs but tailpipe emissions, so it includes EVs, hybrids, and ICE vehicles. Which means it affects the big 3 more than anyone.

You're probably right. This Admin wouldn't do something petty, right?

It will be nice when the noise dies down.

Man, let's hope...but when has it died down in the past 8 years?

Maybe Tesla declined an invite?  Why is this something anyone is worked up over?

 

American politics is exhausting!

You might be correct. I will wait and see.

But, this admin has done it before

I’m pretty close to this right now on the issue. There is no way in hell the government can figure out what’s best in each individual situation.  I want to keep reducing the number of abortions like has happened since the 70s. But, we also need to recognize that there needs to be major programs helping families, single moms and kids born in these situations so they have a chance at a good life. AND….sex education and birth control easily available for young people.

It’s called being in the race when early voting happens.  If you think DeSantis would have lost to her if both were in, well that would crazy talk 

DeSantis would have carried FL easily if he had not dropped out. Not sure of the "gotcha" moment that others are claiming this is

They give a ton of money to SpaceX.  Politics aside.

 

 I don’t think much of this outside of Elon isn’t a very unpopular figure and probably not a face they want to put at the forefront.

I know you didn't mean to double negative there...but regardless, if Musk was a hard lefter, do you admit the response would be different? 

Because it would.

You're splaining at @Moiraine for something you pedantically told me you understand.

 

She gets it. You get it. We all get it.

 

Who was I replying to in your/this quoted response?

Did either of you note the total sales from last year?

Whether you like Elon or not, Tesla moves the needle. The others are also rans. It was disingenuous and a pointed rebuke due to political differences...and pretty douchey

Ok , cool. But, I’m not going to be able to get out of my mind how absolutely f#&%ing stupid and corrupt you are while watching you work out. Sorry, this isn’t going to work.

I don’t see why anyone has a problem with your response.  It appears that you are the only one that is actually understanding the satire here.

Perhaps I am the one that doesn't get it? 

I see a bad man calling out another bad man, and The Bee poking fun at the irony?

You realize that's a direct quote from Dick Cheney in his daughter's new campaign ad, and not something the Babylon Bee made up as satire, right?

 

The rest of the "article" is satire. That quote is from Dick.

Yes, as noted in my reply you quoted.

Thanks for letting us know that you know about the Babylon Bee. 

I understand that D*ck said that quote. To get the satire, one has to consider the absolute comedy of D*ck saying that about anyone...even Trump.

The fact he's saying it should tell you something...

It's called satire.

And a case could be made for that guy doing way worse.

It's always been a mistake to consider the stock market the primary indicator of economic health. 

Exactly. Because the market looks great today, and actually the economic health isn't great.
