USG war on Tesla: does it benefit consumers or producers?

[The Dharma Bum]

Regulations that inhibit a sales infrastructure that can compete with the failed sales model of government subsidized producers?

man, we suck. it's embarassing

If Tesla can sell directly to consumers it'd cause havoc. While NJ has plenty of trained professionals to pump your gas, the education system has not yet trained enough people to charge electric cars. Our education system has to change first before this technology can be adopted widely.

Christie and his cronies are crooks. Simple as that. And, NJ is a cesspool of humanity, with only 2 exceptions that I know about. I loved the part where I wasn't allowed to pump my own gas. Really? The rest of the civilized world can pump gas, but NJ residents are too dumb? I made it a point to drive across the bridge into PN whenever I needed gas.

As technology creates more and more efficiencies people are becoming more and more useless to the process of production. How this is going to be rectified is going to shape the rest of the century.

to equate the invention of the wheel or the steel plow or something to factories that are kilometers in size and are run by 10 people is just foolish.

there has never been a time in human history where humans were becoming so irrelevant to the means of production. within this century it's an issue that is going to have to be addressed.
