Does anyone yet live who remembers when people wanted to work at Home Depot because they hired pros who knew how to build, plumb, and wire? When you could ask someone in an orange apron a question and they offered good advice. When the employees got stock options? When you could return anything for any reason without a receipt?
Now that the local hardware stores are gone, the competition is defeated, none of those things are true.
This is the nature of capitalism.

"It’s clear the U.K. government have no desire to prevent these dangerous crossings. Instead, they pour money down the drain on policies which are unlawful, unworkable and doomed to failure.They don’t care that people die as a result. They have blood on their hands.
“The government’s approach is a moral disgrace. The British people should not fall for it. We call upon every person in this country with a shred of humanity to support our call for safe passage.”

I could be happier. I'm pretty happy now. But I have room for more happiness. I'm still pursuing additional happiness.
But it's important to recognize that the amount of happy I am is pretty great and worth being grateful for.

IMPORTANT tell:
Fani can RICO. She's one of the most experienced RICO prosecutors in the country & so she knows how to warm up
a grand jury with another RICO before bringing in the big one. Guess what she did !!!!

Jonathan Turley is a fucking disgrace whose name should never be mentioned in the same breath with words like "rule of law" and "US Constitution."
#BreakingBadInAmerica #RightWingLunacy “Hey my wife tried to rob the bank, was arrested, needs money for her defense fund, and we need a civil war to stop this kind of persecution!!”
Actual Quote” Someone's going to get so pissed off, they're going to shoot someone. Or we're going have a civil war or some sort of revolution. That's where this is going.”
Where it is going is down the toilet because of self serving, idiot alt reality #GOP Koolaid drinkers like this.

Of course this is on the driver. But to say it's *only* on the driver ignores years of #Tesla marketing for "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" (even the names suggest the car drives itself)

Still, I'll be interested to see what legal theories the officers' lawyers put forward for why Tesla should be liable
