And with this tweet, whatever inkling I might have had towards owning a Tesla is officially gone.
The basic power delivery system of electric is vastly superior -- e.g., much faster than the cars I grew up loving. That alone is an incredible achievement

And I have previously noted that Tesla already won -- they changed the entire marketplace

There is a meme that Americans are deeply divided about Coronavirus: What we should be doing in response, how well it has been managed, and how we should re-open.

This turns out to be false. By large percentages, we are surprisingly unified:

78% vs 22% of Americans believe it is “necessary” for people to stay at home as much as possible.

Data is similar regardless of income:

<$50k = 82%-18%
$50k to $100k = 77%-23%
> $100k = 71%-29%

Rural voters 77%-23%
Non-college-educated whites 75%-25%
All Americans: 78% vs 22%

A month later? Sweden is even worse:

"The nation that led the data revolution, that invented the job title of “data scientist,” that has held up better data analysis as the key to smartening up everything from political campaigns to baseball teams is now, at its moment of greatest peril, without data."

"I wound up writing a book about this, called “Moneyball,” and James wound up being hired by the Boston Red Sox — who in short order won their first World Series in nearly a century."
