    Sure guys, my disrespect for this publication is totally unfounded.

    You keep reading it, I'm sure you'll find it's a valuable use of your time.

    I'm off to play computer games.

    I was only joking

      And incidentally, you won't find me defending Tesla. They're overprices toys for rich assholes who need a reason to feel good about themselves.

      Battery powered cars aren't a reasonable solution for the environment.

            How about at least one American Thinker piece per day?

            Think of it as an education in illiberal arts.

              Definitely would be good for the left leaning members of TNCR to open their minds to some good conservative ideas.

              Education is extremely important.

                    Did I say that?

                    In my previous job I used to do inspections of water treatment facilities, or as we called them, shit factories. Yes, I know, a funny job for somebody who has no idea about normal people, but there you go.

                    Anyway, when we visited, you could get these enormous tomatoes that grew there in the sludge. Spectacularly good looking tomatoes.

                    They still came from a shit factory.

                    That's how I feel about the article.

                    I was only joking

                      I've flower beds that were made up with compost that used some sludge along with a good bit of chipped green material. The roses do particularly well.

                      Maybe it's not the sludge that's the problem, but the person who knows how to use it.

                        I probably know more about battery technology than most people here, and I don't think it's a viable environmental solution in the long term without some big technology advances, as in I'm not a fucking idiot. But I don't want to read magazines that promoted that idiotic rubbish about Dominion and then backed right down when challenged.

                        It's a rag, not a serious publication. I'll read The Spectator, not that shit.

                          I hope your sludge is OK - seriously, the places where we used to go the tomatoes weren't always safe to eat - cadmium and mercury tended to get in there.

                            I have my issues with CNN's political slant, but I'll still admit when they are right. For instance, recently they wrote a story about how useful Apple's Airtags were.

                              Definitely would be good for the left leaning members of TNCR to open their minds to some good conservative ideas.

                              I probably know more about battery technology than most people here, and I don't think it's a viable environmental solution in the long term without some big technology advances, as in I'm not a fucking idiot. But I don't want to read magazines that promoted that idiotic rubbish about Dominion and then backed right down when challenged.

                              It's a rag, not a serious publication. I'll read The Spectator, not that shit.

                              I have my issues with CNN's political slant, but I'll still admit when they are right. For instance, recently they wrote a story about how useful Apple's Airtags were. I unashamedly acknowledged that the story made excellent, factual points. I think we should all strive for that sort of egalitarian view of information sources.

                              The problem is the unremitting bias, and the intent to peddle something, not whether they are occasionally right. I don't want to wade through the shit factory to find the tomato, I want to go to a fruit and vegetable store.

                              I don't watch CNN, either.

                              I was only joking

                                My thing is, I don't understand why, in order to be a right-thinking, intelligent and politically savvy individual, you have to hate Tesla and Elon Musk. I'm not a fan or anything, I just don't see how that tracks. You can in fact love, hate, or be indifferent to Musk and Tesla, and still be on this side of reason and rationality.

                                Please love yourself.

                                  Windmills cause cancer and kill all the birds. To maintain environmental credibility, batteries are going to be charged by windmills, and Elon Musk makes battery powered cars.

                                  Elon Musk causes cancer and kills all the birds. ALL. THE. FREAKING. BIRDS.

                                  Any more questions?

                                    I'm not clear on why or even if Musk is that much of a political lightning rod. I don't think he personally is much of a political tribalist. Though he'll happily pander to tribalists on the left with his messaging regarding the environment and how his products can save it.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                      Find me a conservative "news" outlet that speaks highly of Musk or Tesla. Any.

                                          And I think I responded similarly at the time.

                                          It is reasonable to have an issue with Musk's pandering to some of the dumber environmental ideas of the left, while you know he's just interested in building his brand.
