Lately I've been hearing a lot of praise for Tesla, the electric car manufacturer. That company has never earned a profit from what they manufacture and sell; they have profited solely because of the government mandates and subsidies. Tesla is owned by a billionaire who excels at getting government funding; i.e., crony capitalism. So we have a billionaire who has figured out how to get middle-class taxpayers to subsidize the purchase of fancy electric cars by the wealthy. And I hear people in their thirties praising this!
Unbelievable.

Unless a capacity for thinking is accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
