That's what capitalists want, workers racing each other to the bottom.

They do buy bigger and bigger cars though, that probably does make them safer.

If the 1 and 3/5ths interpretation commented elsewhere is right, they might just have ran into a few pedestrians. Now the driver is giving an involuntary lift to a few dismembered body parts.

I suspect Musk's welcome is as long as his chequebook. I think trump sees the $, if his "advisors" are offering him less $ I doubt Trump cars to listen.

The only issue might be if any of it could be proven to be criminal bribery - that seems unlikely though.

Exactly, and same for Israel in respect of settlers.

There's a good reason Netanyahu chose to install hamas and usurp and kill Arafat.

States/ Nations are usually willing to sacrifice a fair number of their people for the benefit of those in power - I'm sure the benefits trickle down though.

99% of authors or commentators or journos writing about climate change need a 1-tonne solid carbon periodic table smashed over their head.

Everyone in UK would be taught pythagoras, periodic table, evolution at secondary school. Some learning disabled or who DGAF might skip over it or won't actually learn it; but it'd be at taught in basic terms on the general syllabus for most people before age 16. Certainly anyone specialising in science / maths at 16-18 would be expected to know this stuff at a reasonable level from secondary school.

Having had to choose only 3 subjects at age 16, it's very limiting for young people who don't really know what they are doing. You drop one thing and it rules out a whole swathe of things you might never have known would be useful. I sort of wish i'd been forced to do chemistry longer, I dropped it because it was boring and I was allowed to choose stupid shit that proved FAR more useless (Economics).

I'd have probably ended up doing something more interesting and maybe even useful with my life - though maybe the grass is always greener.

"50 Phil Ochs fans can't be wrong" is like the original "There are dozens of us".

". . . you'd better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It's unpleasantly like being drunk."

"Well what's so unpleasant about being drunk?"

"You ask a glass of water."

Have you looked at ubuntu touch supported devices?

That might do some tablets - although i guess they're focussed on phones - and I think have very little resources.

Just add 2 more wheels and a big bumper front and back, maybe a passenger seat or two and a trailer behind it, enclose it in a weatherproofing shell then it'd be cooler.
