President Elon Musk

Yeah, because if Biden had Mark Zuckerberg and a few Meta interns go combing through government databases on weekend nights, dismantling government programs, and firing Inspectors General while refusing to testify in front of Congress, you'd be like, "Thank goodness Zuck is such a selfless soul taking his time away from Meta and BJJ to help the plebs."

Gtfo, simp.

I’d rate this forum about a 3 out of 10. There’s some funny posts. If you’re right of center and want to be insulted this is your place. Good to see DeucesMcKrackin posting left wing nonsense.

Seeing as how the American centre is already very right, someone on the right of that should expect to be insulted.

That's kind of a perfect online troll rumor.

As outlined, it's a great plan until someone explains to you how insurance works. So all the mindless idiots repeating it will be obvious in their idiocy, but there's always a bigger idiot out there who might buy a fake story. Is the plan for starting Civil War 2.0 to just turn us all into Frank Grimes and off ourselves/each other out of frustration?

Poor Frank Grimes, RIP

Or Grimey as he liked to be called

This should be good: tell us how insurance works in the case of nationwide arson and vandalism, old wise one!

You won't profit from insurance payouts on damaged product. It's really just that simple.

Beyond that, it'll affect future insurance costs, raising your cost of doing business on top of not truly making you whole from the initial loss. The only people who think insurance is some sort of get-out-of-jail-free card for poor business outcomes are idiots in the truest sense of the word.

I still haven't fully recovered from all the mother****ers justifying mass looting after George Floyd by saying, "The businesses have insurance. They're not affected. BLM!"

If Teslas "aren't selling" at retail and he wanted to turn them into cash, then lighting them on fire as a false flag operation is definitely one of the least efficient options.

That "rocket" is way to long to match the owner.

I mean, the prevalent story going around twitter is that democrat terrorists planted bombs in a tesla dealership, and then tipped off the cops and the bombs were found.

Its a great online troll rumor until you think about how terrorism works. So all the mindless idiots are actively repeating it literally this second

I dunno how you expect to take the higher road when the entire leadership of your party is spreading the most insane conspiracy theories meant to radicalize people against the left

lol that's in Toronto

Trump et al. have completely lost the plot, but sometimes you light the forest on fire on purpose to prevent an even bigger disaster.

I'm trying to behave myself and keep it pretty light around here because I'm quite aware of how vulnerable to whataboutisms any statements I make are in light of how left-leaning the forum is. Despite making it quite clear since 2017 that I have no love for Trump and his shenanigans, I'm lumped in with the MAGAs simply due to the fact that I'm not obviously a socialist like a lot of you.

As distasteful as I find him, though, I dislike all the wokeism that Dems have built their identities around even more. Trump meddling with the economy is easier to fix than fundamentally changing the nature of society just to appease some white guilt. Most of the woke DEI bullshit doesn't even help the people it purports to, it just allows their oppressors to pat themselves on the back for being so righteous. Very dangerous way to move forward if equality is the actual goal. Nip that **** right in the bud, please.

It's working, too. The lunatic left is eating themselves alive. Go look at the kind of hate Bernie Sanders is getting this week after stepping out of line on illegal immigration.

A few more years of Trump's bullshit and maybe the cleansing fire will provide fresh ground for the DNC to rebuild into something people can support, instead of having their entire platform built around identity politics.

1. Car dealerships don't insure the retail value of their inventory although I believe all Teslas are sold at company stores.
2. Insurers are barred from raising rates for non fault based claims.
3. You can certainly profit on insurance claims for products you produce, but it is much easier to do if you can make third party claims rather than first party.
4. Business interruption insurance claims can be profitable if caused by a third party.

Is #2 true, or is it something that just applies to business claims? I was pretty annoyed a few years ago when my homeowners insurance went up after I had to get a new roof because of a hail storm.

I'm super happy for you and your ChatGPT subscription, but no. Just, no.

When the mob did stuff like this, it was because they'd stiff the suppliers and pocket the full payouts. Tesla cannot profitably light their vehicles on fire even if they could plausibly blame third parties, and I promise you their insurance exposure isn't priced with the idea of widespread vandalism and arson in play.

This is about the least self aware statement any Republican could possibly make.

Trumps whole platform is identity politics. Immigrants bad, DEI bad, women bad, woke bad, trans bad, eating dogs cats, rapist, criminals, bad bad bad your nation is failing its all going ot ****, white pride

Its legitimately so ass backwards it hurts my brain you believe this drivel

Like, do you think calling judges "woke activist judges that should be impeached" is or isn't identity politics?

you guys have paved roads and street signs?

very well stated

Weird how all the boomer white guys on this forum are so sure DEI doesn't work and yet they can't define DEI accurately

Weird

Yup!

Depends where you live. Homeowners policies should be shopped frequently unless you live in a flood zone because their rates are much more static with regard to claims (i.e., you can get cheaper coverage from other new providers even with a claim).

You are the one thinking it's like in the movies. I don't. No GPT, all from my giant liberal brain.

Yeah, like Clarence Thomas thinks it's BS, but he wouldn't be on the Supreme Court, or likely have even gotten a law degree, without benefiting from it.
