It's missing the next frame where no one believes the scientist anymore no matter what he/she says.

More like shoveling money into billionaires pockets is fashionable these days.

The planet money podcast has had several episodes where this has come up. I think the last one about the resistance to free filing tools is a good one

Most of the people who will be there have done nothing to deserve that... Unreal.

Don't forget about cheap labor over there, economies of scale with the large Chinese market, and with a very different regulatory environment. The American auto industry has an uphill battle ahead of them.

Not to excuse the lack of innovation here, I personally blame the trend of wealth extraction for executive pay and shareholder returns at the expense of long term thinking and reduced R&D spending.

This was the part that I wouldn't do just because I view the sink as mostly clean and plunger as mostly dirty. So unless I were to sterilize the sink afterwards I wouldn't put a plunger in the sink.

Very cool, but I suspect that participants will be giving up something when it's implemented. I would be curious if the user can override the load sharing when the car is needed. Would be rather annoying to go get your car and find it at half charge.

This is a good steel man response, very much like Facebook posts I have seen lately. It's really sad how much the right has abandoned listening to experts and just assuming we can apply "common sense" answers to fix problems that are complicated.

Go protestors, remember that you have the support of many many more than can be there!

I didn't get through it. I agree with your comment about the characters not resonating. I got about a third of the way in and just decided to go on to the next book in my pile.
