    Believing your own BS

    Good story regarding an electric car company startup.

    "Better Place is a tragicomic case study of the limits of innovation, the difficulties of getting consumers to embrace new technology, and the perils of believing your own bullshit. What follows is the story of how that happened: a step-by-step guide to the most spectacularly failed technology startup of the 21st century."

    You don't have a smidgeon of evidence that this is BS.

    I liked your 1st (pre-edit) reply better but knew it would be censured.

    Self circumcision is usually better but the longer you wait the more painful it is.

    I had an absolutely stellar moment in time , when last night I observed the phenomenon of "Blood Moon"
    Sky was clear, crisp, calm.
    View was magnificent ~

    FREE for the taking..... got more from that, than a lot of the techno crap/ deception/ government support of fraud in the air, floating around us today.

    Saw a lot of Tesla's in south Florida this year too.
    Especially around Naples.

    Money = Tech = MONEY = criminal endeavor = loss to the human race. Maybe the winner in all of this could be Tesla. They seem to be pumping out cars that Media blasting and treachery cannot stop.


    rather watch the moon than some of this stuff... and wonder where this will all shake out in a hundred years

    The Russians will only annex moon if the culturally ethnic Russians on the moon are threatened. We should be okay for the time being.

    Any resemblance to a coincidence is actually a co-incident.

    I have just exhausted ALL of my literary prowess.


    Time for lunch.
