I would like to see it before I believe it.

Good luck though, hoping the Dems win.

Historically, incompetent authoritarians tend to resort to violence to retain power. (recent example: Maduro in Venezuela).

Tesla is indeed the exception.

Perhaps, but he does have a point.

Boycotts, protests, press articles and just public opinion in general used to be powerful tools to influence companies and politicians.

But they have lost their effectiveness, because companies and politicians have figured out ways to make themselves immune to boycotts and protests.

They have engineered society to make us all dependent and confused.

It used to be, every product in the supermarket had a smallish company behind it, and that company was very sensitive to public opinion. There was always competition ready to steal market share.

Now all the brands are just labels for a few giant corporations. You simply can’t boycott them. If one brand becomes the target of a boycott, a different brand from the same or another multinational will get the money, perhaps through a store brand.

Remember when Joe Lieberman basically mangled the ACA to ensure profitd for his insurance buddies?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
