It’s not whataboutism to point out that the Canadian economy is way too reliant on house prices continually going up. It’s a huge chunk of GDP and would instantly mean a technical recession if prices went down (even when ignoring the domino effect the panic would cause, deepening the downturn).

The country is trapped and no one wants to risk their political career by springing that trap, even if it’s healthier in the long run.

They had a ridiculous number of people putting in a deposit to reserve one, about two million reservations according to this: https://insideevs.com/news/687142/tesla-cybertruck-2-million-reservations-crowdsourced-data/

I guess they came to their senses.

Reuse the bag clip if it exists, otherwise tie a knot.

Saddam was backed by the US. In fact, during the Iraq-Iran war, the US was supporting Iraq while Israel was supporting Iran. The goal of the west (and Israel) has been to play Middle Eastern countries against each other in a prime example of divide and conquer.

No party wants prices to fall because the economy is so built around ever-increasing prices that if prices do fall then the economy falls with it.

Credit is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If credit seizes up, then it all falls apart. That’s why interest rates have been held low for so long.

This CEO would be better replaced with AI.

Didn’t he say this a decade ago and is now more rich than he was back then?

Plus things like planned obsolescence they push for to keep people spending. The system is formed around their whims and the system they want demands waste to continue the flow of money.

School is 40+ hours a week?

Now imagine being able to provide for your family without being away from your family for so long.

Here is the Tee K.O. link if you liked any of the shirt designs that the girls drew: https://jackbox.tv/gallery/teeko/96ca45e6f992c9530956ec2015096c06

There is no genocide lite. It’s just genocide with better marketing.

Ah yes, the mastermind behind the cybertruck is what the company needs more of. Elon “Funding Secured” Musk is good at milking the government teat and pulling tricks (some of which are outright illegal) to boost the stock price. That’s great for bringing money into Tesla, but what is Tesla doing with that money? With Musk’s direction, that money is being flushed down the toilet. They actually lost money last quarter, but thanks to carbon credits (government teat coming to the rescue yet again), they managed to turn a profit. Eventually the runway runs out.

That would be true for a company with any connection to reality, but Tesla is so far detached from reality that his departure would tank the stock price. Supposedly the stock price increased from the abysmal earnings report because during the earnings call he claimed he’d be spending less time with doge and more with the company.

The audacity of this motherfucker.

While any artist has the right in our country to express hateful views, Slope Day is about uniting our community, not dividing it.

United in defense of genocide? Also, since when are anti-genocide sentiments considered hateful views? Bizarro world.

Well yeah, it was the US that put 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and demanded allies also slap high tariffs on Chinese EVs. Without this, Tesla would be more than trampled in those markets. Also, the only reason why Tesla turned a profit in Q1 2025 is because of the carbon credits that the US government gives it. Without billions upon billions in US government subsidies, Tesla wouldn’t exist.

My point is that the rate of improvement is slowing down. Also, its capabilities are often overblown. On the surface it does something amazing, but then flaws are pointed out by those who have a better understanding of the subject matter, then those flaws are excused with fluff words like “hallucinations”.

The assumption here is that the AI will improve. Under the current approach to AI, that might not be the case, since it could be hitting its limitations and this article may be pointing out a symptom of those limitations.
