  1. Elon's in it for Elon. Right now, he's on "our side," but he can - and often does - turn on a dime and pretend he was the good guy all along.

  2. No, Elon. It's not the government's job to incentivize or de-incentivize having families. It's the government's job to preserve liberty and give us maximum freedom to have or not have big families. We're in the current mess due to government's social engineering arrogance. Everybody thinks "If I had the power, things would be better," and THAT is why things don't get better. How about "If NO ONE had too much power over others, things would get better?" "I will MAKE the world a better place." No. You can't. You can only LET the world be a better place. Everyone trying to use force/coercion on others is making the world a worse place.

  3. There aren't too many people, but we need to live in better balance. Unfortunately, all our governments want is for us to build windmills and make battery-powered cars, while making it nearly impossible to build actual green tech at home, unless it's Made in China. Just by tweaking how we build homes (more earth-sheltered, less boxes of wood on top of the ground), letting more people work remotely, and sharing really basic permaculture concepts amongst ourselves. The EPA insists on arbitrary standards for furnaces, but never gets around to approving mass-heat storage on furnaces. Just arbitrary particulate levels and temps at the roofline, decided by a bureaucrat with a dart board. You can build your rocket-stove mass heater, but good luck getting your home insured, because regulators don't bother exploring the technology or approving it. The list goes on and on of things people would love to do to live greener, but unless there's a way for the billionaire class to cash in at our expense, and that includes Elon, the government is an obstacle. Long-range EVs that look and perform anywhere close to an ICE vehicle are worthless boondoggles. Electric? Great idea. But wrong application. They shouldn't be trying to replace the F-150, but they could make and sell millions of small EVs for getting around town. it's always "Do it the one way that transfers wealth upward to the parasite elite class.

  4. Because of the EPA, I can't find a new, compact pickup with decent power. If I want any kind of reasonable performance, I have to buy a mid-sized or full-sized pickup or suv, which is just fine, according to the EPA. These government agencies do the opposite of what they're created to do. FDA, UsDA, FBI, Dept of Ed, ... The list is endless. They all end up working for the people we were told they were regulating. The Dept of Ag is so far up Monsanto's butt, it hasn't seen daylight for decades. it's the same forr the FDA and Big Pharma.
