Which is exactly why Europe needs to ditch American companies. The fact they're bound to obey such a corrupt president means Europeans, especially governments using Microsoft is a direct liability to all of Europe.

Your parents did right. Nobody wants the old Costanza wallet syndrome https://youtu.be/9sz2HDRJkUQ

Not to mention they're already 99.999% accurate even by Musks reckoning. The cost of adding a few 9's to that would FAR outweigh the savings.

I personally know the chief engineer for air force one and he's going to absolutely shit himself. There is no way that aircraft can pass a security and airworthiness audit without performing a check so invasive that it would be cheaper just to built a new one.

Trump likely won't have that so I guess they're going to fly bugged to the teeth. Hopefully they crash it into a mountain on his maiden flight with all his cronies.

I think it's also the old hub and spoke model where American companies open shops in Canada to get market access and bypass certain regulatory requirements that apply to international firms. So the Canadian subsidiaries are spokes designed to extract wealth FROM Canadians rather than the "hub" in the US where all the investment money goes.

Same with Canadian companies that are bought by American conglomerates. They usually just become spokes rather than companies meriting innovation investment in their own.

Not really, it's just that no one invests in Canada. I don't have a full story as to why, but the data points directly to a low investment rate into technology in Canada. It's super shitty and I'm sure someone is profiting from the money that would have been invested.

You might be surprised to find out who the "one of you" is!

None of those. I don't disagree that they USED TO BE the best electric cars.

But that's in the past. There are very few markets where Tesla has the most market share anymore in 2025. It's not just because of protests, they're just not that great compared to the competition anymore. The trend has been worsening for years and Tesla hasn't brought anything new to counter it.

Inferior car? Tesla has some of the weakest reliability metrics in the industry which is shocking considering electric drivetrains are far more reliable than ICE.

Modern electric car manufacturing has far surpassed what Tesla can provide at any price point (range, reliability, comfort, you name it) unless you still believe FSD is coming in "just 2 more years bro, and it'll be free and backwards compatible"

Everyone who was alive when she was born is dead.
