True, but this doesn't help any.



Yeah, I suppose I could have worded the title a bit differently. :)  Either way, screw the auto dealers' associations.


You guys give leftists way too much power by acting like their backward ass logic makes their 'points' even slightly valid. Just let them learn lessons the hard way.

GADA's opposition to Tesla has NOTHING to do with "the rules", and EVERYTHING to do with protecting their fiefdom, carved out with gleeful assistance from "good ol' boy" Georgia legislators.

Stuff like this is what gives anti-capitalists ammunition, because stuff like this is what breaks capitalism, not makes it.


This has nothing to do with capitalism.

It has to do with crony capitalism, the perpetuation of which bastardizes the function of true capitalism.

What part of that post reflects Capitalism?


Free market capitalism doesnt work because laws dont allow for a fully free market.

Isn't it either: "they have no money of their own, so let's accuse them of disliking Capitalism because of their lack of wealth" – or, "they have some money they earned, so let's accuse them of participating in Capitalism"?

Can't win either way, huh? :rolleyes:

Loading cannons.

Just as predicted.

Also, same stuff the original Tesla had to deal with when he created this technology a century ago. It is amazing that our industrialist overlords were only able to stifle this development for one hundred years given their grip over our political system.

A fully free market is nothing but a children's tale. Externalities make it impossible.
