The future looks awful if it requires us to pretend we can’t see even when we’re the only ones who can; a reflection on freedom that Robert Pirsig in the 1970s famously warned us about.

That seems to be the thinking again behind “Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), along with Reps. Joe Neguse (CO-02), Elissa Slotkin (MI-07), and Abigail Spanberger (VA-07)” introducing an Agricultural Right to Repair Act.

“I bought a three-year-old John Deere 90-horsepower tractor. Within five minutes of using it, a yellow triangle lit up on the dash. Not being able to get diagnostic information about the error has disrupted my ability to farm … and a service appointment was available weeks away. I had to use a RELIABLE 1965 tractor to finish the job” said Rob Baur, a farmer in Ridgefield, Washington. “I need a way for me or an independent mechanic to get the error code and decode it to get information about the problem.”

Zing.

Motorcyclists used to call this the “idiot light” effect. Instead of waiting for a flashing red or yellow indicator to tell you an expert must take a look, become the expert and learn how to detect and repair what’s wrong.

A hallmark of Tesla’s CEO is he loves to say he wants to fight and stand up for things he believes in.

Now, let’s see how many times he has ever said or done anything anti-racist. It’s a simple test. A guy always hogging the microphone so everyone can hear his thoughts… where is he showing anti-racism?

Crickets.

In fact, I see his company goes the exact wrong way to gloat it will fight without rest against any allegations of being racist. Odd reversal of tolerance. They seem to choose their words very carefully to say they want to fight against anti-racism (ensure racism is tolerated).

It’s like hearing Tesla say their code has zero defects because they fight against any reports of defects in order to ensure defects are tolerated, while claiming they shouldn’t be accused of defects at the very moment when someone reports an obvious defect to them.

See the problem?

Here’s a perfect example: a high-profile celebrity was being obviously racist against Blacks. Elon Musk, upset by people reporting racism, immediately spun up a loud public reaction just to fraudulently claim anti-racism is a global conspiracy against whites.

Elon Musk accused “the media” and “elite colleges and high schools” of being “racist” against white and Asian people, espousing his views without providing evidence. Musk tweeted these statements in response to news that media organizations around the U.S. decided to cut the comic strip “Dilbert” after its creator, Scott Adams, disparaged Black people in a racist rant on his YouTube channel.

How dare people be anti-racist on Elon Musk’s watch? The racist CEO isn’t having it. It’s so dumb to see him fraudulently try to spin anti-racism into being anti-white when some of the best and most famous anti-racists in history are… wait for it… white. Hello President Grant?

It reminds me of the KKK murdering anyone who dared to call them racists. Shooting messengers didn’t really accomplish what they thought it would, yet there’s Elon bringing back 1830s cancel culture by spouting angry false conspiracy rants about “the media”…like he wants to start a race war.

The U.S. federal government, in a nod to 1970s anti-Apartheid let alone 1870s anti-KKK, has just announced it is forced to sue this obviously racist South African CEO for running an intentionally “prolific” racist workplace in America.

…Tesla, Inc., violated federal law by tolerating widespread and ongoing racial harassment of its Black employees and by subjecting some of these workers to retaliation for opposing the harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.

According to the EEOC’s suit, since at least 2015 to the present, Black employees at Tesla’s Fremont, California manufacturing facilities have routinely endured racial abuse, pervasive stereotyping, and hostility as well as epithets such as variations of the N-word, “monkey,” “boy,” and “black b*tch.” Slurs were used casually and openly in high-traffic areas and at worker hubs. Black employees regularly encountered graffiti, including variations of the N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks and other equipment, in bathroom stalls, within elevators, and even on new vehicles rolling off the production line, the EEOC said.

The EEOC’s investigation also found that those who raised objections to racial hostility suffered various forms of retaliation, including terminations, changes in job duties, transfers, and other adverse employment actions.

It is notable that investigators have revealed Elon Musk’s family primarily were anti-Semitic “technocracy” loons when they supported Hitler in WWII. Their plan with technology was to establish and maintain fascist control.

After losing the war they took refuge in the white supremacist movement of South African Apartheid, which is when they started targeting Blacks with their hate.

Tesla factories in America have a reputation for safety disasters, significantly worse than any other car company.

“Everything started with ‘We’re going to automate so our injury rates can go really down because we’re going to be automated.’ Well, we’re not automated. We rely on humans to do a lot of the work,” […] “When I started, if they found one thing you were really good at, you were going to be there for 12 hours a day, five, six, seven days a week,” Ochoa said. The 31-year-old resident of Mountain House, California, ended up with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, which led to two surgeries and a permanent work restriction to avoid lifting anything heavier than 55 pounds.

Germany very foolishly allowed Tesla to build a factory there, and now it’s reporting the same problems from low or no safety.

When compared with accidents at Audi’s main plant in the Bavarian town of Ingolstadt, Tesla has about three times as many incidents per member of staff, Stern reported. “This is several times more than what is common in other car companies,” said Mr Schulze.

Tesla promises to automate to avoid the cost of human safety training, then they avoid the cost of automating because they find it easier to treat workers as disposable.

The end result is Tesla dumps cars out with little to no quality control and no way to improve.
