I live in the central north, and all my family lives in the central north, and I can imagine not getting a ride to the airport, the alternatives are just offensively expensive in contrast to what is 30 minutes of helping a family member out. also, 15 minutes of that is quality time talking about the travel together.

Having just done this I challenge your premise.

I had to take my mom and sister to the airport, they needed to be there by 5, so I fought rush hour, in a snow storm, for 2 hours there and back.

But hey, sometimes circumstances are different! Need to be at the airport by 7pm on a Thursday? No problem. But its never that. Its always the busiest possible time on the roads, in the City and at the airport.

Driving people to the airport is like my own personal hell.

lmao probably because a train is actually useful and Elon's bizarre tesla tunnel is absolutely useless. He convinced a couple dumb majors to invest public transit money into his snake oil tunnel thus diverting the money from actual quality public infrastructure. Yeah Vegas sucks to get around in and it's because of projects like the loop

Amazon should get in the business of delivering people to the airport, lol. They're probably have a van in your neighbourhood a few times a day and have empty vehicles going back to the north side where their wafehouses are.

Sure, you just have to hop out here and there to drop off a package or two and then you're on your way!

It's amazing the lengths you go to white-wash Musk. i'm not even sure you're a person, you sound more like a Grok personality.

To be fair those comments were already incredibly dumb when they were made given the evidence up to that point.

Nazi apologists are wild man.

Is he a Nazi though? He's definitely a white supremacist, but Nazis are a slightly different animal. They killed Jews, and other groups, that were as white as they were. It was all about purity of the Aryan bloodline.


Maybe I'm wrong. He's still a piece of #### no matter what you call him.

That's a Roman Salute not a German salute. Romans weren't Nazis. Checkmate lib try again.

Well, here's the impact of his ASAID cuts, which primarily affect non-white people.

https://www.impactcounter.com/dashbo...itle&order=asc

Why'd he hate USAID so much? They were instrumental in helping bring an end to Apartheid in his ol' home country of S.A. This was a bit of a revenge tour, which he relished with a chain saw.

But it's also handy, if you believe the poor coloured's are taking over, as an instrument to kill their babies, ensure they stay sick and starving, and won't be comin' for you next.

If he's not a Nazi, he's about as adjacent to one as you can get without ####ing them. He's certainly a racist, a biggot, and the absolute lamest person in any room he enters.

It's also a drug-addled dork trying to express... something, and it ended up being a dead ringer for a Nazi salute. There's a non-zero chance that that wasn't his intention, but if it wasn't he should have defended himself by claiming it was an accident and he wouldn't do that purposely. Instead he tried to play it off as something else, which made him look 100% guilty.
