We cut field trips to the science museums during the no child left behind era and now adults are coating themselves in so much dog spray they build up a permanent static electrical field and think they have superpowers.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Y'all aren't going to do a socialism tho.

So just know that if I win the Powerball I think I'm going to start a company making cars...

But when all of us own This Is Just A Car together, then politics around it are kinda just... regulations and rules. And the political people around it aren't lobbyists, but inspectors, and EPA people, and guys who keep the building and machinery up to code all the time.

But it's terrible when it's all of that power and money and resources under one person. You have no idea the tangents I deleted, all of them ending in me pumping grey money into places for political gain. Every single one of my tangents, within five tweets, had me pumping gray money into politics.

See, this is why some things NEED to be owned by the people together as a whole and not just by a single private entity. When the people as a whole have a political representative working in service of a company that works for them all, that's a great thing.

So Now I'm making Just A Car and biodiesel for it, and also heating oil, and also heaters... whatever man. As long as my car meats my goal of minimal tech and maximum ease of repair.
...
This is how people end up buying lobbyists, isn't it? I need to start owning low level politicians around here.

(Biofine is working on a scale biodiesel replacement for heating fuel. It would be a fucking GAME CHANGER for people in very cold climates)

I build my brand on the kind of nostalgia Americans actually want (the memory of things that worked) and not the kind they're being fed now (ethnofiction)

Then I'd take This Is Just A Car and the 5 small farms worth of product and use them as collateral to buy in on a biodiesel refinery. Probably Biofine here in Maine, Who will be buying everything my 5 farms produce and then some. In return my car company expands to indoor heaters as well

Which is a combustion motor. But I want greener cars. So I would also take some of my Powerball money and get another loan to bail out 5 small corn and soy farms who got FUCKED this year. I'm buying this year's product and the next 5yrs to start stockpiling my biodiesel ingredients.

But also then just to be a shit we'd be a 100% biodiesel car company. Because I want to make cars you can *buy* after saving up for a year or getting a small loan and I want those cars to be cars that people can keep maintained and in good condition with a little knowledge and effort.
