I could see Trump taking this attitude until he meets his very first encounter with the actual degree of stress he'd have to suffer to execute it.

He would then immediately give up and blame, I don't know, Egypt or something.

Trump has no willpower or self-regulation skills at all. He is not a planner, a leader, or a strategist. He's not willing to work, ever, for any reason. A war is beyond his capacity.

And nobody willing to align with him is competent.

I see your point, but it's all talk right now. There's still US military everywhere, the dollar is still strong, McDonald's is still selling hamburgers, people are still watching Hollywood movies and TV shows and still subscribing to Netflix.

I'm not saying actual shunning and sanctioning of America can't happen, but we're absolutely nowhere near it right now. People are just yelling, and mostly on the internet.

Tesla is getting hit, but they're only one company.

An actual boycott of America as a whole would be a massive lifestyle change for huge portions of the world and that kind of scale is not where we are at this moment. We're all just bloviating.

PC component makers used to. They found it hard to swindle people into buying what was most profitable over what was best performing, so they deliberately made their naming schemes incomprehensible.

Well we have plenty of executives to practice on.

What I think about whether Luigi Mangione is guilty or not is that the health insurance industry is responsible for apocalyptic levels of suffering and death and literally everyone in the United States is a victim of AT LEAST the constant psychological torture of being programmed to value their wealth over their lives when every single one of them knows that it is an active choice by avaricious executives and shareholders to sacrifice their well-being and that of their families and loved ones for the continued wealth accumulation of those executives and shareholders not to mention the actual suffering and death that results of the deliberate, conscious, informed choice by those in power to withhold healthcare in order to extract profit from the most vulnerable at the cost of their very lives.

What?

My Ford Focus weighed 3000 lbs and was half the size of a Model 3.

You're full of shit, my dude.

In what fucking universe is a Cybertruck a representative sample of anything?

And in what other fucking universe is any of the rest of what you said relevant?

Don't answer that, just leave.

Entirely dependent on the model. A base model RWD EV sedan (Model 3, Ioniq 6) weighs less than 2 tons.

If you have a moronmobile like a Hummer, sure.
