That is UnitedHealthcare.
That is what occurs when the Democratic management is somnambulant, individuals take issues into their very own fingers.
I don’t know if this information has made it into the proper wing blogosphere. However within the mainstream press this week there have been all these tales about Tesla gross sales tanking. Considerably.
And now individuals are attacking Tesla vehicles and dealerships and…
We are able to’t say precisely how many individuals are accountable, however one factor is for positive, they’re tapping into an anger that permeates the left, if not among the proper too.
We might make this about Musk. Prognosticators consider it’s solely a matter of time earlier than he’s excised, that’s Trump’s model, however actually that is about frustration with the route of the nation underneath Trump’s rule. The Democrats hold telling constituents to consider within the system. In the meantime, Mike Johnson tells his minions to cease holding city halls.
In different phrases, the federal government could also be shedding management of the general public, and that’s by no means an excellent signal. Trump’s approval scores are dismal. And when individuals really feel powerless…some take motion. And identical to with UnitedHealthcare, their conduct is endorsed by most people and chaos guidelines.
You’ll be able to’t paint another person’s automobile. You’ll be able to’t shoot bullets right into a automobile dealership. However that’s what individuals are doing.
Now you might say that folks have a proper to precise themselves… Which is what they mentioned to Elon himself, who uttered some nonsense about personal property and I’m not saying he’s fallacious, nevertheless it’s now not concerning the legislation, however about feelings.
Let’s take it additional. You’ll be able to’t take anyone’s job in America as we speak. You’ll be able to’t hearth them. Discuss to anyone in management at a company. In all places from the meeting line to live performance promotion. With a view to hearth somebody…you want a litany of documented misbehavior, and you continue to could should pay them to go, to keep away from a lawsuit. Overlook what’s proper, that is the scenario.
AND ELON MUSK IS TAKING TONS OF PEOPLE’S JOBS!
Now what. Most individuals don’t have deep pockets like Elon. We hold studying how shut everyone seems to be to being broke, with only some weeks’ cash within the financial institution. You hearth these individuals and so they’re simply going to shrug their shoulders and get on the bread line?
NO, THEY’RE GOING TO GET ANGRY!
That is what occurs whenever you’re wealthy, each Trump and Elon, you’re out of contact with the general public. Sure, sure, sure, Trump channeled the dissatisfaction of the blue collar employees and underclass, however don’t suppose he actually is aware of something about their lives. Are you aware anyone wealthy? Particularly those that grew up wealthy? Their experiences, their perspective is completely different. They don’t know what they don’t know.
As for Elon… He was squeezed out of PayPal for being an a**gap. His Teslas are chargeable for extra accidents per car than some other model as a result of the self-driving software program doesn’t work and positive, he blasted off a couple of rockets, however a bunch blew up too. And Canada simply canceled its Starlink order. I imply why within the hell is that this man a hero? To not point out he fires individuals willy-nilly.
And I’d be shocked if this anti-Tesla fervor is tolerated on X. It’s free speech for him, however not for the remainder of us. Identical to it’s socialism for the wealthy and capitalism for the poor. Musk is the beneficiary of presidency cash for SpaceX, however he’s gonna hearth the asses of the hoi polloi?
Oh, he may rehire some individuals. However as soon as bitten, twice shy. It’s not like these employees are going to breathe a sigh of aid once they get their jobs again, they’re going to maintain wanting over their shoulders, they’re going to clam up and defend their jobs at the start. And also you’ve acquired Trump saying air site visitors controllers needs to be MIT graduates. AT THAT PAY?? Like I mentioned, he’s out of contact, he doesn’t know the way Individuals reside, by no means thoughts not figuring out how America works.
Contemplate this a information bulletin. Don’t blow again with proper wing crap. If somebody units a Tesla on hearth, that’s a reality, that’s occurred. There are not any different reality patterns right here.
That is the Arab Spring second I’ve been talking of. When the federal government loses contact with the general public, who is aware of what’s going to occur, all the things is up for grabs.
And that fruit vendor who began all of it fifteen years in the past… He was annoyed over his JOB, or lack thereof. He was a school graduate, and now he’s promoting FRUIT?
I’m not saying that America doesn’t have issues. I’m not saying that there’s no authorities waste. However you don’t throw the infant out with the bathwater. And there’s no comprehension of the results on individuals’s lives. Screw the nation, most individuals solely have one life and if you wish to mess with their job, their well being care, their high quality of life, you’re going to listen to about it.
All of it comes all the way down to earnings inequality. That’s what ails America. You’ll be able to solely hold the individuals down for therefore lengthy. Many on the proper need the federal government drowned within the bathtub as a result of they need extra money of their pockets. They’ll barely make ends meet.
And the nice mass of the general public must be uncovered to the existence and shenanigans of the wealthy and well-known and now you’re going to take issues away from them?
As soon as once more, if you wish to see somebody get indignant, simply take away their job. Now the complete nation goes to go postal!
As soon as once more, don’t argue ideas with me, I’m simply reporting the details, which can have eluded you.
The “New York Instances” simply printed this text:
“Rage In opposition to Elon Musk Turns Tesla Right into a Target” The backlash in opposition to the electrical car firm has turned violent at occasions, as its billionaire chief govt parlays his help for President Trump into consequential affect over the federal authorities“
And the conservatives and progressives each hate the “Instances,” due to opinions expressed on the editorial pages, however the motive the “Instances” triumphs is due to its reporting. You’re getting opinion on speak radio, blogs and podcasts…when was the final time Joe Rogan ever did any reporting? However if you wish to know what’s going on… Simply learn the “Instances.”
And it’s not solely the “Instances,” the “Washington Put up” printed this text as we speak:
“Anger at Elon Musk turns violent with molotov cocktails and gunfire at Tesla heaps” The string of violence in opposition to Tesla storefronts, charging stations and autos exacerbates the corporate’s woes, analysts mentioned.”
And if you wish to monitor Tesla’s waning fortunes, simply learn the “Wall Avenue Journal”:
“Tesla’s Fortunes Fall as Musk Rises in Trump World” CEO’s politics erode model’s attraction amongst some core patrons of electrical autos; ‘I used to idolize the man’
We’ve skipped proper previous the nonviolent protests of the sixties to the actions of the Weathermen.
And issues are a lot worse total than they have been within the sixties.
And if we are able to’t cease college shootings, how within the hell are we going to cease random acts of violence in opposition to Teslas…and who is aware of what else subsequent.
Individuals are sick and uninterested in their leaders. They’ve disillusioned them many times over many years. Do you suppose Democrats are going to belief and comply with the mealy-mouthed politicians in D.C? Solely these within the recreation take Kamala Harris’s run for California governor significantly. We’ve had sufficient of her, her inauthenticity, refusing to go on report and offend anyone, her phrase salad disappointing those that consider in progressive ideas.
Ooh, the reality!
Shedding your job has no political ideology. And it’s taking place to these on either side of the political spectrum.
Musk, et al, have misplaced management of the nation. You need me to consider some inexperienced twentysomething is aware of extra about my work than I do?
That is just the start…
