    I don’t understand your statement, the student debt is already there held by the government and theoretically they plan their future revenue for the budget with payments from student loan borrowers included. So forgiving student loan debt would just be a decrease in revenue while they continue to have the same amount of debt.









  • No. The article doesn’t talk about preorders at all, and they are completely meaningless and obviously a “preorder” for a car with just a 100$ deposit doesn’t mean anything. That’s basically just signing up for a mailing list. The cyber truck as announced was ugly but with really good specs for only 40k$. It was shit and the price was minimum 70k so it didn’t sell well.

    Preorders aren’t a legally defined or protected term or anything, who wants to regulate that? It’s basically just a list of emails signups so it doesn’t mean anything at all.








  • No I mean it wouldn’t be possible to make them here, if you tried to build a series of factories they would not have enough workers. It’s like an order of magnitude scale difference, the largest industrial plant in the US is 30k workers and in China the big one for iPhones is 350k. And that is 350k people working super long hours. Even in China labor isn’t plentiful anymore, there is shortages of labor in the coastal areas. You try to hire a staffing firm and tell them you want 300k skilled workers in a city and they’ll just laugh at you.
