Over 10 years old, but this is a timely quote from Battlestar Galactica: "There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people"

Tesla share price continues to defy gravity because investors are betting that Musk is finally correct about full self driving(FSD).
