TSLA stock swung back up ( I watched it nearly every minute as I bought options on the rise )
I believe many who watched the whole video rather than just responding to the screenshot, would come away with renewed belief in his passion and possibly surprise at much of the tesla models capabilities and possibilities.
But the article says most of that, not really much of a read, not sure why it deserves highlighting on HN.
I feel like weed is our generations racism; people now know the preexisting ways are no longer correct, but the old guard just has to go away before anything will change.
Actually, weed is the previous generation's racism, literally.
Here's a quote by John Ehrlichman, Nixon's campaign aide:
>The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.
While weed here is mentioned in the context of singling out hippies, there's plenty of evidence that the War on Drugs, and, in particular, criminalization and stigmatization of weed have disproportionate effects on people of color.
So yes, this kind of prejudice is also a part of racist ideologies.
