I've mentioned it many times but I have worked with a lot of people who worked at Tesla and I don't think any of them would want to replicate the Tesla way of developing products on something like airplanes.

It definitely seems like a very divisive employer. I have no notion on whether that extends to SpaceX my sense is that there must be some core of employees that really enjoy the “my job is everything” vibe.

I’m actually envious of people who like something enough to want to do it 24/7/365.  Just rough ridin' nothing that I want to do like that all those mental exercises where they say what if all jobs paid the same, or what if you won the lottery, but you still had to have a job what would you do?

as of retirement my job is smoking weed, playing wow, and watching tv.  for the first time in my life i love my job.

It wasn't necessarily about shitty work conditions - Tesla had unrealistic expectations, cut corners all the time, and made shitty/borderline dangerous design decisions. If you were a "my job is my life" person it would probably be even more deflating.

Goddamn dude, I didn’t know you officially pulled the trigger on retirement that’s fantastic. And that sounds like a fantastic way to spend your time. 75,000 years a human history or something mumped up like that, and you are living better than 99.9999% of them

Yeah, that’s a good point. Might be more of that on the NeuroLink or SpaceX side more opportunities to have a abstract ideological goal but there’s gotta be a bunch of that with true believers and electric power too.

I’m sure it’s different there

Can't attack the message . . . so attack the messenger. The most onbrandest SteveDave #blueanongE thing ever.

SteveDave is now apparently mad at The Fed.

The job numbers go back into the white hot fryer again . . . commence #blueanongE

Are there any other sources also delivering this message? Perhaps ones that aren’t clownshit right wing shills?

He's using the FED government supplied data . . . if you want to  about this, go ask The FED/BLS

Or attempt to go find some #blueanon rando who just regurgitates the initial numbers and never goes back to revisit the revisions that ultimately come out months and quarters later.

[LickNeckey]

i feel like there was a member of this board that said those numbers can't be trusted


weird

[sonofdaxjones]

Relative to their initial release from BLS. . . absolutely.

Lick is confused as usual.

Dax is usually pretty quiet when it turns out the actual numbers were even better than the initial release. If he does chime in it’s to decry their incompetence at not being able to put out a more accurate initial release

For the sake of your body, please stop pulling so many rando statements out of your ass

No way.  That’s the catturd of Econ!

[sonofdaxjones]

Nobody lashes out harder than #blueanongE - It's just the weirdest thing.

Just accept it - they french fried the job numbers - and move on, and be better. 

[steve dave]

Dax, you’re a moron on many topics but you really show your ass when it comes to money. How many ass whippings will it take? Incredible stamina.

I think Dax sees himself as Rocky Balboa, in the pit, while in reality he is SteveO.  He thinks he is going to knock everyone out, but in reality we are all just aghast while he staples his balls to his leg.
