Sometimes you have to ignore the opinions and ramblings of continuously wrong stupid people
Maybe because when Bernie wrote Our Revolution back in 2016 the media ignored him and his ideas and now there are more pressing issues like healthcare and due process getting wiped away entirely.
And as a consequence he has to believe that all billionaires are benevolent supergeniuses
I know that’s not what TF means, but it’s what I think
I just can’t see a reason you’d especially want that unless you’re desperate to avoid coming in contact with the poors. There’s literally no other benefits.
"What we REALLY need is to get off our asses and get into a robo-taxi!"

There will always be people who bitch and moan. They can continue to do so as we all suffer less.
my brother in christ, the Reps want to bring back child labor and 120-hour work weeks while eliminating minimum wage
wtf are these commentary people on
Work on public transport.

Friedman wants every bit of Labor destroyed, even the stuff that it tends to his every need
He seems to lack awareness of where the technology actually is right now.
and who better to build them than Musk, America's most trusted and beloved billionaire visionary?
If Freidman thinks you are on the wrong track, you have validated you are on the right track.

Because solely using computer vision is stupid and reckless
2. Waymo is already a thing. Tesla has lost the robo taxi race.
3. Friedman is out of touch.
He should start wasting that talent on breaking something less important than the systems keeping hundreds of millions of people alive.
AOC’s vision from six years ago
Uhhhhhhh NOPE!
Hmmmm. It would help if we would actually tax Tesla's earnings then.
Trains. Subways. Busses.
And Waymo. He even mentions Waymo but only as a company that Tesla DESPERATELY NEEDS to compete with for some reason.
All I heard back was a hollow, bitter laughter ringing in my ears. Now I know why!
Yes, let's get him out of government, but his stock should keep dropping until:
* there's accountability for theft/mishandling of sensitive data
* govt programs he destroyed restored
* govt contracts with his businesses severed
Robotaxis?
Get the fuck out of here.
Putting aside my hatred for him, I can't think of a single thing he's invented or even improved.
Elon Musk is not “talented”. Never has been. He was just born very very rich.
Cheap. Clean. Comfortable.
PUBLIC
Those pesky Europeans not spending money on weapons
Fuck Southwest and Spirit. I want high speed trains!
We need to build AI chatbots into every self-driving car so that Thomas Friedman does not run out of cabbie nostrums.
democrats: **reduce unemployment, strengthen labor rights, push for increased union power & membership**
thomas friedman: not like that
the GOP response was they would rather burn down this country than unify it, and they've been doubling down on that proposition for over 15 years
"New manufacturing" is code for make more billionaires. It isn't working class.
That said, I agree wholeheartedly on the "unify the country" bullshit.
I mean it.
Not lazy: telling billionaires how awesome they are
a) don’t see the billionaires as a problem or
b) know that nothing will be done about the billionaires, so bringing it up is pointless and lazy
To me, it’s just evidence of their lack of imagination so to speak
We do need action, but speech isn’t unimportant when it’s genuine and properly focused.

What the actual fuck
The complete opposite is true.

Billionaires aren't geniuses spuring on Western Civilization.
They're just parasites shamelessly sucking the lifeblood out of other people's ideas and hard work.
Don't stand there, lazily bashing billionaires. Grab your pitchforks...
"well that's just a lazy thing to say"
AOC and Bernie are doing the PREREQUISITE marketing to implement any ideas they would have.
