The cronyism begins

[Mac1958]

Problem is, he doesn't make "campaign promises", he just says stuff.

It can be difficult to completely re-set one's perceptions to adapt to a person who is entirely, 100%, 24/7/365, transactional.

What he says five minutes from now can be in direct contrast to what he says now. He's just a petulant child.

Because in the past it worked for him. You say this to that person and the opposite to someone else and nobody finds out.

But you'd think people would find out, seeing how it's all over the media.

Like this Russian dude I've been talking to recently about the Skripals, if he doesn't like something, he suddenly doesn't know anything.

If there seems to be a rash of people being beaten with a mag light, sure. It should be noted. There are intended and unintended consequences with anything. Perhaps some change in design could reduce those unintended consequences. You never know unless you keep track of them.

So, because someone mis uses your lrodict you have to redesign it? You can kill someone with just about anything.

A company cannot be responsible for what some random person will do with their product.

But we're getting off topic. All accidents are inherently reported, I just don't think a company should be held accountable or given negative marks because someone decided to use self drive in the wrong way

Trump says he’s not interested in pursuing case against Clinton

‘It’s just not something that I feel very strongly about,’ Trump told The New York Times.

www.politico.eu

A Trump quote:

“Look, there’s a tradition in American politics that after you win an election, you sort of put things behind you,” he told reporters inside Trump Tower. “And if that’s the decision he reached, that’s perfectly consistent with sort of a historical pattern of things come up, you say a lot of things, even some bad things might happen, and then you can sort of put it behind you in order to unite the nation.”

"Lock her up" anyone?

And if his promise is to get rid of red tape for some dude who BRIBED TRUMP, you're happy? Wow!

So ... you DO want more government regulations ... that's sweet of you, all those government workers kicking back doing as little work as possible ...

First thing to go is the IRS ... but you're going to keep paying your taxes aren't you? ... no wonder you're poor ...

Musk DESERVES something good from his BRIBE to Trump

Like a prison sentence.

And they usually aren't, although there may need to be changes made to prevent some misuse.

Yeah, what can be changed is people not being blackheads and thinking self drive means you can go to sleep while your car is driving.

You are certainly free to believe anything you wish. However, there are warning labels on all kinds of stuff because some idiot misused the item.

Yep, and I'm sure in the owners manual of any self driving vehicle they have a warning to not be distracted while in self drive mode. I bet they probably have a warning sticker on the visor on the drivers side.

Warning stickers are always either a result of a lawsuit or an effort to protect themselves from one. Why else would manufacturers of a hair dryer bother placing a sticker saying do not use in shower?

Donald Trump's transition team will make a recommendation that would sabotage the government's ability to investigate and regulate the safety of self-driving vehicles like those Elon Musk's company is developing, according to a new report.

The first of many handouts to the wealthy at the expense of the public.

Think for a minute, mate. Handouts to wealthy cronies is all the Democrats ever do.

Because lawyers suck. Most warning labels should be removed and stupid people allowed to weed themselves out.

So education may be the key.

Or an alert signal when the driver's eyes aren't on the road? Or any number of other things.

Wait, I thought we did "entitlements" like welfare and Medicaid?

Or is this just another one of those republican contradictions?

OK, and tesla has been sued and now they have warning stickers on their cars...

Which warning label are you responsible for?

As long as you give trump money and kiss his ass he will give you anything. He likes being pissed on too. Putin let US know that.
