This is so silly . Of course a single relatively tiny company is going to get smaller subsidies than two huge vital industries . TSLA would have been bankrupt years ago without government subsidies . Its been their entire economic model since the financial crisis . <| sep |> I went to a mall the day before Thanksgiving and all of the employees and halls were decked out in Christmas decorations . It was eerie . <| sep |> It wold be so funny , guys your elections are an endless source of fun . XD <| sep |> I ' m a British Sikh and I carry at least one Kirpan small sword with me at all times . AMA . <| sep |> Another component to my theory is the obsolescence of the American mindset of hard work and the morality surrounding it . This ideal was forged in the 17 th century , when globalization meant importing tea and exporting tobacco . If you wanted goods , you made it yourself , or bought it from a person in your community who likely built it themselves using methods passed down for generations . They took pride in their crafts , built things to last . Today , that ideal is sadly gone . Items , people , craftsmanship , and traditons are disposable . If this is good or bad is irrelevant to this discussion what is relevant is that we have a 17 th century mindset in a 21 st century economy . We must grow and evolve our ways of thinking while still holding on to the past ideals that founded our culture , lest we become a society of vapid consumers with no drive or direction . We can do this , humanity has overcome its challenges in the past and will continue to do so . We are the most versatile creatures on the planet , and we will thrive and dominate if we can work together to press our advantage .
