@jstevenyork @ai6yr I honestly doubt many people at all bought cyber trucks for environmental reasons. Other teslas yes. But the cybertruck has always been a gender-affirming tool for the insecure.

Granted, destroying them causes more short term environmental harm than continuing to operate them. However, destroying them might cause less longterm harm as it helps to bring musk down ...

@GottaLaff My questions to the whiners are: Have you called your senators and congressperson today? Have you written to your local elected officials? Have you put in time and given money to local orgs working to protect people?

If so, great. Whine all you want about which day you want to do the general strike. If not, well, there's plenty of work right at hand to get to ...

@mcc Back in the day, I did a lot of consulting and software implementation. Oracle was great. Because no one could make it work. And once the company had spent all that money on Oracle and failed with the initial project, our consulting fees seemed like a drop in the bucket. All those projects took long enough that most of them were cancelled before we had to do the final delivery (which almost always was a huge relief for our team).

Oracle was great. Precisely because it didn't work...

@TonyStark I have to believe this message of hate is a losing message. Immigration is good. I like our friends and neighbors and they should all feel as safe and secure here as I do.
