Given how much you like to go on about keeping politics out of this thread I think you should keep your political opinions like "most corrupt presidents of all time to" to yourself. I've been trying to respect the idea of no politics in the thread, which is damn hard because several of you like to drop bits of politics in here on a fairly consistent basis. Apparently what you really want is to keep politics out of the thread unless it is your politics in which casse people are free to say as much as they want and as often as they want. Nothing about my comment had squat to do with politics. I didn't discuss the criminality of Trump or his kids. I spoke just from the point of view of what Fathers would be willing to do to protect their children if they had the power to pardon whoever they wanted.
Frankly I thought the whole subject much more debatable when Biden was saying he wouldn't use the pardon power to protect his son because personally I thought that was a bunch of BS and now it turns out I was right. I personally don't believe any parent would just sit back and watch a child or relative they love or care about experience going to prison and all that goes with that if they had the power to legally pardon them from their crimes and/or commute any sentence, in the Federal legal system.
Lincoln did it for his wife's half sister whose only crime was that she married a Confederate General.
Clinton pardoned his half brother who was convicted of crimes connected to Cocaine.
Trump pardoned his son-in-law Jared Kushner's father Charles for crimes he was already in jail for including illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering.
Saying anyone would do it is just commonsense as it is human nature for people to protect those they care about if they can. You don't have to like it but it is hypocritical to act like it's an outrage when others have done it, including the President you favor. I could go into all the politics of the subject but I've been told we are supposed to keep that sort of discussion out of this thread because there are other threads specifically for that type of discussion should someone have a burning need to discuss it. If I'm expected to follow such a rule then I expect others to follow it as well. Fortunately most of the people in this thread do follow that rule.

You’re the reason God created the middle finger.
Don't follow them....they must be winning.
I haven't had it done but I know some people who have and according to them it's not really so much as them slicing your eye open as it is just shaving the "lense" layer of the eye off, correct it and put it back. According to my mother the procedure itself was painless but afterwards while she was healing her eyes were so sensitive that she would get headaches if she tried to use them too much and that only lasted a couple of days. Virtually everyone I talked to that had experienced that procedure were so happy with how much better their eyesight was afterwards that they felt whatever they went thru was well worth it.
Glad it all worked out

I doubled the original investment then some in today's market
Lets be friends. We have different political views but we can still peacefully co-exist.
True but all the minerals/elements they mine for use in manufacturing batteries for EV's the've been doing for years before EV's were really a thing on the market and they'll likely continue those samme mining practices even if all EV production were halted. So it's kind of misleading to say that because the process of making them is bad for the environment they're just as bad as other vehicles. Im sure there are aspects of ICE car manufature that is bad for the environment as well. The real point of value to the environment isn't the manufacturing but the pollution if any when it's being used.
I've heard it said that due to the way EV's cause wear and tear to the tires that they require a much more expensive tire if the driver wants to get the type of range most drivers expect from a tire. Did you find that to be true in your experience?

Not that Elon really need it though, him and Tesla has been doing just fine without any help from the government. It would be kind of nice if all businesses operated completely on their own like that. With a debt in the trillions that is constantly a threat to the future of the American people, I'm kind of tired seeing so many businesses get help from the Federal Government. It's not so bad if it's just a loan and it gets paid back promptly, with interest, but historically that's not always the case.

From what I've heard, none of the problems other manufacturers have as far as drawbacks apply to Tesla's except they have tended to be the more expensive option. They have good range with some bing as high as 600+ miles I think Tesla does also charge extra for the at home charging set up but given that maintenance is so much cheaper I think that offsets the cost of the home charging system and the convenience of charging at home makes it well worth it in my opinion. For the most part the range is sufficient for most use and they're starting to get the charging times fast enough that it's not much worse then the time it takes at the pump. The real problem with EV's is that the infrastructure to support the use of them is still to far and few between if they expect widespreadd adoption of EV use. Tesla has been pretty good about building a decent infrastruture (charging stations) for EV's but on company can only do just so much. It's supposed to be getting better in the near future, the infrastructure bill a from a few years ago had a good chunk of money for building charging stations across the country
