So is the military industrial complex that fed off taxpayers money in Afghanistan and Iraq, doesn't mean it produces a quality of life improvement for consumers at large

I believe Mao called that economic strategy 'the great leap forward'

Fossil fuels (petrol or diesel) should not go away at all because such decision is a byproduct of centralised economy planning based on the time preference of the elites who live in mansions and have the luxury to wonder and wander with their minds about what would be the future 100 years from now. The vast majority of us instead we are just trying to make a living and the maximum timespan we think about is 3 months into the future.
And I should add that all that mental wondering and wandering, or should I say mental "wankering" would produce a reduction of about 0.08C if 100% global compliance were to be achieved at the cost of trillions of dollars
> > People marvel at how you spend so much on pets while there's people hungry and homeless around you
Tesla is all that on steroids and with a cult of personality slapped on the hood. But I guess you are right when you cite homelessness and poverty as something that is overlooked daily in America so a phenomenon like Tesla emerging in the US is just more of the same and should have been expected given the dangerous precedent of the War on drugs, the War on Terror, the Apollo Program, all stuff costing trillions to indulge the mental wankering of the elites
