Most experts dismiss Level 5 as pure science fiction. Waymo and others operate Level 4 vehicles, but very few people really believe that Level 5 is attainable. Level 5 would require “an astronomical amount of technological development, maintenance, and testing,” Torc Robotics, a company developing self-driving trucks, says. Others call it a pipe dream.

Except Musk. At a conference in Shanghai, Musk said with supreme confidence that the company “will have the basic functionality for Level 5 autonomy complete this year.” That was in July 2020.

The bill finally comes due for Elon Musk

The Tesla CEO has long promised — and failed to deliver — a fully autonomous vehicle. With this week’s robotaxi reveal, his time is up.

"The story of that period has a powerful resonance today as #Trump, angered in part by the two #federal & two state-level #indictments... threatens to carry out a campaign of #retribution if he returns to the White House. He has signaled that a 2nd Trump administration would be stocked not with people who served as #guardrails during his first term, but with carefully vetted loyalists who would eagerly carry out his wishes"

"a look back at the cases of 10 individuals brings a pattern into clearer focus: After #Trump made repeated public or private demands for them to be targeted by the govt, they faced federal pressure of one kind or another.

...Even without his direct order, his indirect influence could serve his ends and leave those in his sights facing expensive, time-consuming #legal proceedings or other high-stress inquiries."

Text from article: The episode marked the start of a more aggressive effort by Mr. Trump to deploy his power against his perceived enemies despite warnings not to do so by top aides. And a look back at the cases of 10 individuals brings a pattern into clearer focus: After Mr. Trump made repeated public or private demands for them to be targeted by the government, they faced federal pressure of one kind or another. The broad outlines of those episodes have been previously reported. But a closer examination reveals the degree of concern and pushback against Mr. Trump’s demands inside the White House. And it highlights how closely his expressed desires to go after people who had drawn his ire were sometimes followed by the Justice Department, F.B.I. or other agencies. Even without his direct order, his indirect influence could serve his ends and leave those in his sights facing expensive, time-consuming legal proceedings or other high-stress inquiries.

Voter turnout in 2020
Biden 81M #Trump 74M

If via hard work, motivation and donations the turnout for Harris could be increased to 90M then I doubt that the trump base could get more than 80M.

There are at least 9M young people who do not regularily vote.
You just have to connect with them.

It would be so cool if 100M would vote for Harris.

You can do it #USA.
Onward and upward.

"When Wallnau calls #Harris a Jezebel, then, viewers should understand that he is nodding toward his own #dreams and #prophecies, his claims to have foretold her coming. Such claims are the currency of the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, a #Christian #religious and #political movement “driven by theocratic notions of total societal dominion, including the end of #democracy as we’ve known it”"

"To call a #Black woman a “Jezebel” hearkens back to America’s #racist & #misogynistic #history of casting Black women as insatiably sexual, which served to justify slaveholding men’s systematic sexual #assault of enslaved #women. But for right-wing white #Christians... to say a woman has a “Jezebel spirit” is also to say she is a danger to them, a barely human being hell-bent on seducing men to their destruction"

Text from article: When Wallnau calls Harris a Jezebel, then, viewers should understand that he is nodding toward his own dreams and prophecies, his claims to have foretold her coming. Such claims are the currency of the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, a Christian religious and political movement “driven by theocratic notions of total societal dominion, including the end of democracy as we’ve known it,” as leading NAR experts Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné have described it. As within the wider Christian nationalism movement, NAR prophets encourage followers to “think of themselves as soldiers in a cosmic conflict,” as religion scholar and former Christian evangelical pastor Bradley Onishi has said. The stakes here are higher than mere elections; it’s about who prevails in an apocalyptic battle. “When you explain it that way to folks,” Onishi recently told NBC News, “you’re able to prime them, not only for action, but I think for extreme measures.”

"You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile & specious personal attacks based on her #race & #gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract & demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential #election year — winning — which depends on #voting"
