“If the biggest seller of EVs continues to move away from what it helped create, Americans will end up with cars that continue to pollute.”

As a market for EVs, Americans don't matter. In aggregate, the rest of the world markets eclipse the U.S. and are happily sprinting away from it even now.

“But Tesla’s retreat from the electric-car business is everyone’s loss.”

Nope. Tesla as an automaker was the booster. Collectively, other automakers are the spacecraft; they will take it from here.

"everyone involved in DOGE"

As you seem to imply, but here explicitly: Principally Musk.

They're opting out of humanity, so sure... that, too.

Assuredly, I won't read it. But why may I not comment on its publication?

As a European... nice.

Well: As a human being, I also appreciate human integrity whose nature and expression both is entirely more profound than intellectual interest merely. This to the preclusion of fascists and the like.

As I said: fine for academia. However, in real life I have no room for such as them, in any field.

Also I have no time for dialectics, apologists or needlers.

Oy. 🙂 Please have a good day yourself.

If you would prefer it, let us each block the other on Bluesky. I am suggesting the option, but I will follow your lead.

Not once have I meant to insult you. I’m telling it as I see it.

Thank you, if according to your misreading of me. I wish you luck in your self-imposed tiny world of apprehension.

No-one is responsible for your writing but you; neither by the measures of thoroughness, focus or comprehension.

Amid a (may I say) rather rambling text, I chose to comment on a detail I thought was salient.

If that frustrates you, perhaps you should abandon public discourse with strangers.

I read every word. Twice, actually.

I am a pragmatist.

Pragmatically, then:

As evinced by the results of their actions (voting), these people are trying to kill me. I do not befriend people who are trying to kill me.

Simple.

Not helpful.

If the US owes anything related to the presidency, it is a deep self-evaluation.

The result of that wouldn’t matter. It could be Harris or anyone. As long they were sane, smart and of genuine good will.

But Americans proved that they are too stupid and hateful to do that. So too bad.

Exactly right. Anger is coded as the only emotion men are permitted, wherein it is a proxy for the absence of emotion (which of course it cannot be). Hilarity ensues.

So I hear and think I understand you.

To clarify: I cited biology since my experience of self and others suggests to me that there is something (characteristic if not sheerly innate) in human psychology influenced by testosterone. I mean, I've concluded that it is the influential factor.
