Not going to disagree with that, but you’re responding to somebody who obviously has no background in physics, and it strikes me as a reasonable balance between conceptual (“hand wavy”) and detailed enough.

This is an excellently written response.
It’s utterly bizarre. The customers lose out by receiving an inferior product at the same cost. The workers lose out by having their employment terminated. And even the company loses out by having its reputation squandered. The only people who gain are the executives and the ownership.
Unfortunately, they can multitask
True, but I’m asking what they can do, and that’s far from clear. What do you suggest?
The word you would use is “steep”. It means to put something in a liquid to extract its flavor into the liquid.
Maybe you were thinking about “braise”, which is when you half cover something in a liquid and cook it all just below boiling, but then the liquid turns into a sauce.
I agree completely. It’s clear we’re in need of much stronger constitutional safeguards.
As you pointed out, they attempted to subpoena Musk and the republicans voted it down. They’ve also introduced articles of impeachment, which they successfully put through last time only to have senate republicans refuse to convict on the basis that trump was no longer president.
Politely, I think this comment is unhelpful. What do you propose that they do? Our government is based to a large degree on the assumption of good faith. The Supreme Court, for example, has power because the constitution says it does. They don’t have the capacity to actually enforce the rulings they hand down.
The current president has basically said that he doesn’t care about the constitution, and is just concerned with stealing power for himself and his cronies. Elections are supposed to be our mechanism for dealing with that.
Who said it resulted in no difference in voter turnout?
Grow a damn backbone!
Self-righteously resigning only works if the other side wants the organization to continue functioning. Musk and his cronies want things to fail. This is literally what they want.
The difference between $100 million and $1 billion is 90% of $1 billion.
People who have less than $100 million are much closer to the middle class than they are to being billionaires. We should be trying to recruit them to our side, not condemn them.
