Ah, yes, the old argument of “you live longer, so the billionaires get to own more of your time”.

No. How about if I get to live longer, I get to enjoy my tiny little bit of time longer? It isn’t scarcity by nature - it’s scarcity by design.

How many times does this gotta happen before we start calling them missiles instead of rockets?

I’m not dismissing its use. It is a useful tool, but it cannot replace experts at this point, or maybe ever (and I’m gathering you agree on this).

If it ever does get to that point, we need to also remedy the massive social consequences of revoking those same experts’ ability to have sufficient income to have a reasonable living.

Unilateral appointment to a national security role is way different from a vote to represent a group of people. AOC also had basically no experience outside that of relevant college coursework.

I’m pretty sure it’s just called a bird’s beak paring knife.

Reading further about it, it’s intended for tasks while holding the object you are cutting, rather than using a cutting board. Like peeling an apple in your hand.

We as a society need to start defining our damn acronyms. Stop assuming everyone knows what every acronym is, because they do not.

If the owner of the company wasn’t trying to heil a cab on the national stage, people wouldn’t be doubting these EVs nearly as much.

Not that they’re particularly high quality anyway.
