I could have done without the low information SJW complaints with no solutions offered during the investors meeting.

Interesting to hear Musk say the environmental science is not settled, and that his main motivation for Tesla was to address standard of living and scarcity issues for humanity.

I guess they're not gong to care about it until someone tells them to.
That's the main folly of this country, and by proxy, "white people". We seem to think everyone else's problem is ours to solve, and to dictate how others should live.

It's a good thing there isn't some vastly advanced nation that sees the US as backwards, and therefore cut trade with us since we're all slaving away.

That's not to say injury and certain child labor isn't terrible, only that I'm not going to impose my personal "minimum wage" sensibilities on others. Is a tough job worse than no job? Should the US be invading "The People's Republic of Congo" in an effort to liberate them from corruption?

We know when a country is terrible when it includes any of the following words; People's, Democratic, Republic. Maybe Dominican Republic is an exception.
