Ok maybe the sneakers are a dumb comparison. Still, Elon irks me. It’s not about the earth, I no longer care at all. We are doomed and nothing anyone does matters anymore. I’d just like musk to fail. We need more assholes to lose, I think, if life will be tolerable as we wind down civilization.
Seems to me people have become more aggressive and insane in the last few years. I had a minor interaction on a street with a guy who became enraged and chased me. We are both in our 60s. He might’ve been 70. Fortunately he was a big fat guy and I’m a skinny fast guy, but I was still thinking this was going to end in a fight. I ended up running into a restaurant and he was blocking the entrance, yelling in. Had he entered, the plan was to throw glassware, plates, chairs at him and grab a knife. I thought one of us might die.
The staff was trying to kick me out of the restaurant because this maniac was yelling at me and wouldn’t leave.
It was pretty scary. My crime: I was walking. Had the light. He zipped right in front of me in an suv to turn right. I tapped on the back of his car with my hand.
For that, he was prepared to kill me.
For this reason, I will not buy a Tesla. Also, never, no matter how obnoxious a thing anyone does, call them out on it, unless you are ready to fight.
I also now always have pepper spray in pocket ready to go.
