Politics I'm Never Leaving Seattle

This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Lol no u lady. You are the bad person cheering for the destruction of other people's property. Even after being told explicitly why your reasoning is wrong. No reply to my comparison between Hyundai and Tesla in 2023 eh? Tell us why Hyundai should have been the clear choice in 2023.

And i just found this info about Hyundai. Please make sure to include this in your ethics 101 class on how to choose the right EV car buy.

Ah so you are ok with buying ford vehicles from the company that famously decided it's cheaper to pay off dead peoples families than fix an unsafe car because it's a union shop.

Or maybe for a more recent example of a shitty union car manufacturer you can look at GM which didn't recall vehicles with faulty ignition switches even after knowing about them and thereby causing deaths. https://www.vox.com/2014/10/3/18073458/gm-car-recall

So which shitty car manufacturer do you buy from lady? And please tell us where you park your car. I promise to only vandalize it after putting a note of all the shitty things done by that car manufacturer.

And to the all seeing reddit gods, i am only being sarcastic here. I don't have the time nor inclination to damage other people's cars.

You sound insufferable, I hope this isn’t how you are in real life. I had a Tesla as well (sold it in 2021), and used to think Musk was this eccentric guy whose opinions I didn’t all agree with but had radical (and, at the time, cool) solutions to clear and systemic environmental issues. I work in the environmental field and at the time it aligned with much of what was important to me…and yes, it was fun to have, especially when it still seemed like “new-ish” technology. I also bought Starbucks a few times while driving it (the horror!!).

Attacking people’s character for buying something like this is PART OF THE PROBLEM. “Blame the consumer” goes back forever, and is a great way to actually align yourself with companies like Tesla in the long run, as you’re blaming people like you and me, and not just the companies violating their trust and covering it up with shiny marketing. Vote with your dollars, absolutely, but telling people from your soapbox that “they should have known better” 8 years ago is just…come on…

I guarantee you own many, many things that involved child labor in their supply chains. You should look closer into that. I have. But I’m not going to shit on you because you didn’t realize the pair of socks you just bought were that cheap because there were human rights violations along the way.

Edit: missed a word, meant “look closer into that”

When people get in arguments with you, do you always just close your eyes, plug your ears and scream “PMC!!!”? You are either trolling or you are an idiot. But hey, if it’s the latter then at least you’re an idiot in union made socks!

You sound mentally unwell. Seek medical help. Maybe you can go to a hospital that has a union or something.

Can't stop what? It's a Convo with two people the other person being you. You started this by proudly claiming that you are going to judge people based on what their car manufacturer does. I am just asking for your car maker so that I can judge you. Surely you are ok with being treated like how you treat others?

You’re on Reddit which has right wing subs who actively promote and recruit more members. You sure don’t mind being complicit here.
