Brain fart. My bad.
I'm not sure there is a distinction of kind between trauma and listening to right wing media.
That doesn't explain the city/rural divide though. It could well be that listening to reactionary right wing rhetoric leads to an enlarged amygdala.
The big oil corporations have been busy buying up all the competing charging networks, so that much tracks.
Despite being born into money, he managed to take on so much risk that it society had to bail him out. Even so, I'm certain that his net worth after bankruptcy was significantly higher than the vast majority in gen-z.
It's mostly about right-wing virtue signaling.
It's been a staple rhetorical strategy for fascists to both be entirely serious and "totally joking" with the same exact statements. It allows them to consistently push the boundaries of acceptable prejudice while always having a fall-back. "You took that seriously!?!?".
Well sure, but I could provide a platform for Nazis and conmen for a hell of a lot less than $15m/year in operating costs.
That's awesome. They had no significant development costs and still racked up a $15m loss in the last year. Yep, definitely a Trump enterprise.
I have a hunch that "working" would not exactly be a top priority.
