That sounds like an accurate description to me. The first place Artificial Intelligence went was straight to the top of the money markets; where it has financialized your grand-children's future earnings and hollowed them out.
I'm not a communist, I'm a social anarchist. It's different, but this isn't The Lounge so 'nuff said.

Oops, not the lounge. I was just exercising the Murrican habit of name calling in response to truth telling. I'll have to move it elsewhere in the future.

The confusion is understandable, 'Lounge' sounds somewhat like a prolonged 'Launch'...

I'd never try to start an argument in a small boat!
But seriously, if anyone's being taken for a ride here, it's Elio doing the driving. He isn't some innocent figurehead meant to take the fall.

I'm still holding out hope. Maybe I'm a little more patient than you guys-- and we have been throught his before. But there are 2 things annoying me:
- The press releases have sucked recently.
- Somebody on here said Paul Elio is pulling in $200k+ salary. If that's true, it shouldn't be... I hope everybody else isn't paid so lavishly.
i would love some news about the 25 mules.

I saw an Elio TV ad last night  but I really don't need one now. Spent $33.25 for gas to drive 1190 miles in one month in the Mirage at 52.89 mpg. Maybe get it below 1000 a month.
68 mpg would save me what 10 bucks a month.
regards

Has anyone ever heard comments from any current or former Elio engineers? I would be very interested in knowing what they would have to say.

The lack of transparency is disturbing to say the least.
