Windows 11 sales have been crap. People aren't buying new machines due to it.

Wait until new computers quadruple in price because of data center demands, driven by idiotic AI initiatives nobody wants, and nobody buys new computers.

I used a counter to fight a business competitor. I had built an ice cream business, and once it got successful, the landlord locked us out, installed his daughter as the manager, and stole our entire business. He knew we didn't have the money to fight it civilly, and he had relatives on the police force, so they refused to deal with it criminally. They told all of our customers that we had sold it to them, which we had NOT.

But I still had control of the website, so I changed it to tell the entire story, with names. Every single thing I said could be backed up with documents and/or witness testimony, so I just laughed when he demanded I remove it or he'd sue me. I reminded him that it was ALL true, he knew it, and I could prove it. My primary objective at that point was to force them to stop using the name, MY company's name.

What made my web page really powerful was the counter at the bottom. As that number rose, it meant more locals were reading it, and spreading the word. It also showed a correlation - as the number rose, their customers dropped, and their business tanked. Eventually they changed the name, but that didn't help, and they ended up selling the business.

15 years later and I'm still in business, using the name they tried to steal. Last week I was at an event and a young woman asked if I was the same guy who used to own that ice cream shop, and she was excited to find out it was me. She went often as a kid, and missed it when I was gone. She also said they stopped going when they heard it had been stolen, and said the place that replaced mine "sucks."

That counter was a powerful weapon on my battle.

If Canada is smarter than America, they will deal with this decisively. It's one think to be a big dickhead online, screaming for revolution. It's a whole other thing to be meeting with representatives of a hostile government who has made many threats of invasion. That's fucking treason, and Canada should deal with it right the fuck NOW, and send a clear message to future traitors. Don't wait to see if it gets worse, like we do here in America, deal with it preemptively.

And I agree with that 100%. I've been voting for a looong time, and my pet issues are Medicare 4 All, and Campaign Finance Reform, the most important issues in America at the moment, IMHO.

However, we will never be able to accomplish those objectives, or anything else, as long as MAGA is roaming the landscape, literally raping and pillaging. They represent an authentic existential threat to American Democracy, and must be crushed and purged BEFORE we can move on, and start the reforms that this nation needs badly.

Nobody is going to buy his dumb robot that won't work. Leastways, not in numbers that would make up for automobile numbers. Otherwise, Ford and Chevy would be building robots.

Are they building robots?

They are not.

Sales are tanking, profits are tanking, and he's being forced to abandon his precious "SEXY" branding, by ditching the S and the X. Now it's just "EY."

Tesla has crashed, and is NEVER coming back. Sales/profits will continue to slip with each earnings report. The only thing keeping it afloat is because it is held in massive institutional investment accounts, but as it continues it's inexorable slide, those institutional accounts will start to sell down, accelerating the slide, until they all bail, and Tesla stock nosedives.

Tesla will be bankrupt in 2 years.

They are just the prototypes to the eventual Slaughterbots that will be deployed into the streets to kill us, and bring us under control.

I agree. When we take it back, we can't just go on like business as usual. We have to crush MAGA, and purge it from our government and society, before we can move on and fix the systemic problems that have been neglected for far too long. Our Citizens, our Nation, the World, and History require that before we can redeem ourselves.

We can do that by declaring MAGA to be the the National Security Threat that they unarguably are. They have committed sedition, treason, had an Insurrection, stole hundreds of classified documents, permanently damaged our relationship with our allies, strengthened our enemies, damaged our economy on the international stage, engaged in mind-boggling corruption, sent death Squads into the streets to kill American citizens, etc. Whether their destructive intentions have been deliberate, or just as the result of their virtuosic incompetence isnt relevant, they are still an existential threat to the future of this nation, and must be prohibited from existing.

In addition, active members, especially MAGA leadership and elected MAGAs, need to be designated Domestic Terrorists, and Insurrectionists, and prohibited from holding public office for life, under 14A/S3.

The second Trump administration needs to be found invalid, due to election fraud, and all legislation, executive orders, appointments, etc., should all be rolled back. That includes his pardons, and all those traitors should be sent back to prison. Those who attempt to evade the order, should get an additional 10 years on their sentences. Laws should be passed that presidential pardons cannot be used to cover, advance, or excuse criminal activity.

The Democratic Party can become the party of the right that they've always wanted to be, and a true progressive party can rise to represent the left.

Hardcore Right Wing Nut Jobs will have to recalibrate their politics and learn to fit in, or remain MAGA and be reviled by society like KKK and Neo-Nazis should be.

Parasitic Tech must end. It's supposed to help us, not spy on us and steal from us.

I've been reading that the last 5 years.

And it's finally starting to happen. They've never had a 46% reduction in profit before. They've never closed two production lines before.

This is NOT business as usual over at Tesla. I guarantee The Goblin is in a near panic right now, his Trillion dollar payday is in jeopardy.

Just pass on the cost of the corruption to the consumer, as usual. It's the Corruption Tax.
