Readit NewsDoes anyone have a feeling that this has never been further from the truth?
Dying baby boomers will spend their wealth in retirement (on pleasure and healthcare), and it will end up in the hands of large financial institutions, not the next generation. Do you think this will solve housing supply issues?
How does this make any sense in light of Lisbon being now "one of the world’s most unlivable cities"? Seems like it can't possibly be good for the native Portugese.

- first callout was OTR longhauls. Musk clearly didnt want his trucks stuck as lot-tenders where they would work brilliantly, he wanted publicity on the road.
- longhauls cancelled because obvious infrastructure limitations. batteries and motors failing more frequently due to the load and the range. reports of using tesla consumer vehicle components in the drivetrain. switch to regional routes
- regional routes failing between AZ/CA due to thermal and performance issues. range issues.
- professional drivers hate these trucks. worse than international (truck brand). center-seating makes visibility, toll booths and logbook checks a chore. side mirrors are static and too high.
Musk needs to come back to earth. OTR (over the road, long hauls of 1800 miles) is a non-starter and will never work with current technology. professional drivers can not lose 30 minutes every 400 miles on these routes to charge, they will miss all their drop times.
make the tesla semi truck a lot tender. massive power to realign and arrange heavy trailers all day long in a parking lot or warehouse lot. bonus points: make the tesla semi truck a driverless lot tender since lot-tenders dont need a CDL.
EDIT: If you want to see something I think the actual trucking industry is getting excited about, check out Edison motors. They're running a hybrid diesel/electric design that would work wonderfully for things like clean-air city driving where the batteries are getting topped up at every stop and speeds are under 50mph, and a small diesel generator when the batteries need a charge. this is similar to how Great Western Rail in the UK runs their trains (just with batteries) and still supports a traditional truck drivetrain. Its designed to be punished from what i can see...the primary application is as a logging rig.
What do you think about natural gas generators? They could be cheaper and cleaner.
They are going to have to pay pretty damn well to get anyone with a brain.
>The complexity of options trading regulation should not be subject to the same complexity threshold as (eg) public intoxication laws
Why not? The point is to make it a bit harder to pass more complex laws, not stopping it. Your parliament has 500 seats. You need 251 votes to pass new complex law. For laws that simplify complexity you need half of the present MPs e.g. 400 are in, so you need 201 votes.
This is another example of technology making things temporarily easier, until the space is filled with an equal dose of complexity. It is Newton's third law for technological growth: if technology asserts a force to make life simpler, society will fill that void with an equal force in the opposite direction to make it even more complex.
The two remaining problems would be:
- purpose and identity.
- places like Bangladesh where industries like textile will disappear.
