I wish I could make YouTube "experience suboptimal revenue" in retaliation, but sadly I can't block more than 100% of ads.

I have an HP LaserJet 6L from like 1997. I recently managed to get it working reliably after decades of struggle and frustration that drove me to tears on occasion. So yes, as far as I can tell they've always been this bad.

Rejuvenating. It's the circle of life. The old have to die so that new life can spring from their corpses.

Note the pattern: a willingness to ignore the details of what could go wrong, YOLO it and just test it out, and the assumption that if nothing goes wrong when you do that, it means that everything is fine and nothing else could possibly go wrong.

Did anyone else reading this bit immediately think of that other rich idiot that died in his ridiculous submarine?

Supply and demand. There are many workers and relatively few employers, so it's much easier to find a cheaper worker than a more generous employer.

Initially, maybe, but I suspect they'll soon get over their infatuation with him, since I doubt he'll be able to hide the fact that he considers them beneath him. People only worship Trump from a distance.

Yes, it's almost as if making a car with completely flat body panels is an idea so completely idiotic even John DeLorean wouldn't do it...

Wait, I thought he was just bullshitting his fans with that. He's actually serious? XD

Also, I don't understand what this has to do with bare metal construction of the Cybertruck and why that should present exceptional difficulties. DeLorean figured out how to make bare metal cars more than forty years ago, so it can't be that hard.
