The Elon Musk hype cycle: "Why are we still using boring light bulbs? Its so inefficient; I'm going to create controllable, light-emitting wallpaper and it will last 100 years, use no electricity at all and will cost 10 cents per square foot. Will be ready for sale next year" *One year passes* "Here is a prototype!" *shows a staged image of a room with the walls glowing different colours, rumours emerge it's just using light bulbs hidden behind furniture* *One year passes* "OK we're pivoting to looking at a design which uses LEDs to emit light, but it will still be way better than existing light sources" *One year passes* "Ladies and gentlemen: the Solaris Beacon!" *shows a strip of LED lights you attach to the wall that can change colour with a remote*

A former employer of mine made me feel "unsafe and triggered" when in reaction to me coming out as trans they moved my work area so I would be facing a wall for eight hours a day and then when I put up pictures of musicians, authors, pieces of art etc I was told to remove it all because "personalisation of your work area isn't permittable and some of your pictures have raised complaints". When I asked which pictures my supervisor told me that I needed to "stop asking questions and get on with your work, I want the pictures down first" before opening the door into the next part of the factory where I and anyone else could see a picture of a The S88 page three girl...of course when I later on complained about that picture I was chided for being prudish and only complaining because I had asked to remove the pictures at my work area. To add insult he then told one of the lads in that area that I had made a complaint and instead of that picture being taken down, more were put up and I was then subject to the the transphobic comments becoming increasingly nastier and harder to ignore.... How over-sensitive of me. So over sensitive I ended up in the local hospital having taken an overdose. UNIONISE.

Unionizing is nearly impossible these days, and you are actually proof of why. You were too chickenshit to do anything but take it. You were too subservient and obedient to stand up for yourself. I know for a fact resorting to outside means of justice never crossed your mind, like having his legs broken. And after you let some white trash factory hog invent rules over and over again, your solution was to OD instead of mixing your H in his coffee so he'd OD. And now you're on the internet shouting how WE need a union? I missed the part where you tried to organize a union at this workplace. Have you ever even been at a job where people were just trying to get cards signed to prove to the state a majority of workers support the idea so an election can be held? Just one of the many bullshit obstacles in forming a union designed to expose who is a union supporter early before the employees have any protection from retaliatory termination. Also, everything you claimed happened you should have been documenting it and you should have reported it to the Gov. Regulatory agencies for multiple instances of discriminatory behavior. So, even when well established, well known labor laws and employee rights with websites and phone numbers and detailed descriptions of those rights are literally hanging up on display at all workplaces because it is MANDATORY, ....you decided to instead OD rather than demonstrate and ounce of self pride. The other top obstacle/reason why unionization fails is because of people like YOU. People who let supervisors invent obviously fake policies (That they should be able to produce in written form and dated, and that you were oblivious existed which is not how policies work), and let management move their workspaces off into corners for no reason, and they don't even bother asking for a reason. These are workers who run off scared when asked to sign a union card, paranoid and afraid they'll "get into trouble" and are paralyzed by fear of any altercation. These are workers who quite frankly turn into company rats to save their skin, and will start naming names the second they're called into the office. And this cowardly, pathetic peasant mentality is why tyrants exist. Because these individual people would rather destroy hundreds or thousands of lives instead of risking 1% of the personal comforts they enjoy. These worthless people tend to be narcissistic, like the kind who will run over a bicyclist in their car, and then put on a hysterical show to "out victim" the person they ran over and hide behind mental/emotional issues that can't be proven in order to delay or avoiding taking any responsibility. A DECENT human being would immediately try to obtain a medical status/call for medical response, and be eager to offer comfort, not because its about who is at fault, but who was most affected and endangered. Those are the people who will support unionizing. Not self preservationist jellyfish. They have been and continue to be the #1 tool of tyrants.

As someone who owns a non-Tesla EV, the point about how he monopolized the infrastructure hits hard. You can't charge a non-Tesla car at a Tesla charger, but yet Tesla has installed chargers at most rest stops, hotels, etc., so then places don't even think about installing other chargers. Then, they come out with a product to allow Tesla cars to charge at non-Tesla chargers, further limiting the accessibility of non-Tesla EV's being able to charge and making it seem like the only way to feasibly go with an EV is to go Tesla. It can still be done with a non-Tesla, but longer drives are difficult because of the limited infrastructure that's been monopolized by one company.

Under the CA law requiring manufacturers to sell a certain number of electric cars, electric car manufactures could (of course, praise markets) sell the credits for their "excess" electric cars above that quota to other manufacturers so they didn't have to - just like noted totally functional policy of carbon credits! Tesla, as a small manufacturer, got TRIPLE credits for these. Here's the super fun part: they were allowed to count (or just did and never got dinger) the *preorders* for their cars - which you might recall were sold *years* before they made a single mass-market car! So Tesla sold electric car credits to Ford and GM, enabling them to get around the California laws that were supposed to cause more electric car manufacturing, without even making electric cars themselves!

so if Tesla didn't exist, Ford and GM would pay 20% more than the credits in fines and that would be better for the world?

Oh dear, thot slime goes totally Affective Fallacy (also The Romantic Fallacy;:) An extremely common modern fallacy of Pathos, that one's emotions, urges or "feelings" are innate and in every case self-validating, autonomous, and above any human intent or act of will (one's own or others'), and are thus immune to challenge or criticism. (In fact, researchers now [2017] have robust scientific evidence that emotions are actually cognitive and not innate.) In this fallacy one argues, "I feel it, so it must be true. My feelings are valid, so you have no right to criticize what I say or do, or how I say or do it." This latter is also a fallacy of stasis, confusing a respectful and reasoned response or refutation with personal invalidation, disrespect, prejudice, bigotry, sexism, homophobia or hostility. A grossly sexist form of the Affective Fallacy is the well-known crude fallacy that the phallus "Has no conscience" (also, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do;" "Thinking with your other head."), i.e., since (male) sexuality is self-validating and beyond voluntary control what one does with it cannot be controlled either and such actions are not open to criticism, an assertion eagerly embraced and extended beyond the male gender in certain reifications of "Desire" in contemporary academic theory. See also, Playing on Emotion. Opposite to this fallacy is the Chosen Emotion Fallacy (thanks to scholar Marc Lawson for identifying this fallacy), in which one falsely claims complete, or at least reliable prior voluntary control over one's own autonomic, "gut level" affective reactions. Closely related if not identical to this last is the ancient fallacy of Angelism, falsely claiming that one is capable of "objective" reasoning and judgment without emotion, claiming for oneself a viewpoint of Olympian "disinterested objectivity" or pretending to place oneself far above all personal feelings, temptations or bias. See also, Mortification.

He foresaw, like a few others, the future of nuclear weaponry, encouraged the Allies to look into it as a precaution against Germany, but refused to work on it himself as a conscientious objector.

Funny that you'd facetiously compare him to Iron Man as someone who engineers everything, when the whole premise of Spiderman Far From Home was that a disaffected worker was angry at Tony for taking credit for his work. One can imagine this problem is endemic to the fictional company.
