Elon on Joe Rogan

[406dn]

Maybe the cuts will help discover better treatments for bone spurs

You can tell how much they still bother him. He never plays golf without a cart. They hurt so bad, he's been known to drive up on the greens. I mean, who would do that if the pain wasn't thru the roof?

Wasn't sure where to put this since there is usually 2 or 3 threads that are Trump themed going on a given day...wasn't expecting this perspective though.

UAW Statement on New Tariff Action - UAW | United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America

For 40 years, we’ve seen the devastating effects of so-called “free trade” on the working class. Corporations have been driving a non-stop race to the bottom by killing good blue-collar jobs in America to go exploit some poor worker in another country by paying poverty wages. Tariffs are a...

I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation to this.

Similar but if you don’t have student loan debt, you have to upload a picture of your septum piercing and blue or pink hair in order to have your account approved.

Couldn’t use one up here. No charging stations and not reliable range.

The cars I’ve heard are pretty good! I’d be interested in an EV living in a bigger city. The cyberturd on the other hand…

Model Y. My wife mostly drove it for clinicals and work between Tucson and Phoenix. It’s a great car but it’s a car.
Safe, fast, maintenance free, “refill” the “tank” every night in the garage. Sold it when we moved to Montana.

That's not going to fit the narrative with this crowd

I bet I have listened to more than half of Rogan’s episodes for the last 12 years or so. Back when the wife and I had a side gig I’d listen while I worked. I don’t know if I would call him an intellectual, but he is very smart. I know a lot smart folks who would struggle to do what he does - not in terms of entertainment but in navigating complex topics - for hours and thousands of times.

I used to laugh a lot when listening to his podcast, but unless it’s a guest I’m really interested in, the show has really fallen off for me. He’s absolutely been honeydicked by the claims of certain people, and those people have a political bent. I don’t hold it against him insofar as he’s an urbanite and wealthy and won’t understand a lot of the on the ground world this forum interacts with. He watched LA go apocalyptic and has also been the target of some outrageous lies and terribly misleading reporting from the MSM. I think that sent him in a direction.

I really started to feel the skew when he would repeatedly get angry about some things, but brush off others if they didn’t fit the political bill. His guest choices are another obvious push for one political direction. Nowadays, even with a non political guest, he can’t help but take it political. The way he’s fawned over Elon in past episodes - I ain’t listening to this one. Already know how it’ll go.

He invited both Trump and Harris, only one accepted?

Yep.

I was suprised.

"There’s been a lot of talk of these tariffs “disrupting” the economy. But if corporate America chooses to price-gouge the American consumer or attack the American worker because they don’t want to pay their fair share, corporate America bears the blame for that decision."

I find the word IF pretty hilarious. When were talking about raising minimum wages or regulation, there is no if. It is, we WILL pass this off to the consumer. And the same people that are for tariffs don't complain about that one bit. They use the fact that it WILL be passed off to the consumer to argue against whatever thing they dont like. Makes a good talking point. That's always bothered me, but it is always assumed that it WILL be passed off to the consumer.

All of a sudden were talking about IF? We all know what corporate America will do here. Why don't we apply the same standard in other discussions around higher wages and regulations? I bet that doesn't fit a lot of people's narratives either.

Lack of consistency like this, from both sides is what really bothers me.

Maybe at face value, the admin and unions have been at odds before. But auto workers/any manufacturing company are some of the parties that would benefit from tariffs. Less outsourcing for plants to make parts/assembly lines etc.
