Fuck Elon Musk (Part 1)

Nope. Born in 61. He wrote about people younger than he was.

Douglas Coupland is the boomer, he’s famous for writing a book called Generation X.

He was recently discussed here because he had an interview shilling his new book and he was embarrassingly full of shit. Hard to read so I’ll give this one on paedo apartheid money boy a hard pass too.

Basically, any idiot with enough money can buy a degree from there; rendering the ā€˜value’ of said degree worthless.

I read this and I don’t know what to make of it. A full sized generator installed at each house is over 5k for the smallest option possible. A lot of people can’t afford that. Our government just basically ended democracy in this state to enforce one-party rule until whenever that can be overcome. We can’t just be sure we can ā€œelectā€ officials who will work on improving our power grid. In fact, it’s becoming obvious that this is an oil&gas murder/suicide pact most of us didn’t agree to.

Tesla may suck but the option they’re offering is kind of needed by anyone who can’t afford to move from the state or install a private generator. It sucks. Everything about this sucks. Every… everything.
