They are constructing a fisher price GOLD Tesla for trump as we speak no doubt. To be delivered in person awkwardly for some PR video Apple style.

We just need tucking trains and public transport in cities. Rural areas are under separate requirements. It's that easy, but we've built cities for failure for a while now. We "send our prayers" each time a kid biking to school is run over and then complain when the number of lanes on the freeway is not expanded to accommodate the ever increasing number of cars or speed limits don't allow for deadlier crashes because our commute from a poorly designed suburb to a poorly designed city increases by 5 minutes.

Edit: rant is not directed at you. Just frustrated with the US in general when looking at the needs of the general population.

Or built for a different market, like 90s Hondas/Nissans etc. which assumed every country was as safe as Japan when it came to car theft. Nowadays its mostly profit driven. Security is not cheap and can add it's own set of headaches (security vs convenience).

Edit: Nissan still sucked at it from what I remember hearing of those and some kias being the main target near where we lived.

He goes into detail on some of the videos, but to summarize the "controversial" videos due less well when it comes to recouping the money it takes to film them (if at all). They (often):

  • have to account for more travel expenses to interview people
  • can't be sponsored since no one wants to sign up for those kinds of pieces and depend on ad revenue alone
  • can include additional legal costs (have lawyers review things, etc. )
  • for things that are time sensitive, they can also mess with the work life balance of the team and the regularly scheduled content they've been working on
  • stress from dealing with mega corps with the money to ruin you as a side quest
