This is how you start the Great Robot War.

Well yeah, how else would he get around?

Did you bother to look into it at all? What you are asking doesn't even make sense from a design standpoint.

Nobody asked for a car you can print.

The way they are building their electric truck is the smartest way. Using available, off-the-shelf parts that have proven reliability. Nobody is going to be using CAD to create custom parts. Reinventing the wheel is precisely the problem and Edison Motors is working to avoid those mistakes.

Also, they are taking design input/feedback at the consumer level right now, BEFORE they have a 'completed' product to purchase. This is as close to open source as you can get in my opinion.

You could literally buy the same parts out of a warehouse and build a logging truck yourself if you wanted to.

Or you can sit on the internet and complain without having any idea what you're talking about.

Edison Motors would be my bet.

That guy is doing some seriously cool open source shit on a HUGE scale (electric logging trucks). I'm sure once they perfect the process they will move into the car and truck market.

His media channels and shorts are always great, even if you have no knowledge or interest in the logging industry.

I can't afford $150 for my own health insurance

He was milking them.

Ignoring the snark in your comment...

I assume you take issue with UBI?

Would you feel different if we 'required service' for UBI? For example, some countries have mandatory military service. If we nationalize these giant corporations, we could make working there a way to qualify for UBI.

Do you think UBI is just taking money from the average person and giving it to lazy people who do nothing? Or do you enjoy the separation of the rich while the rest of us struggle for scraps? Do you understand that the UBI would apply to you as well?

Or am I missing deeper thoughts given to your comment?

How would there be thousands? There aren't thousands of nations, and everyone would still use Google.

If you break it up, that's how you get thousands of shitty versions.

Maybe some countries might disable Google if it was owned by the US, but I have a feeling those countries already have their own issues with Google as it stands now.

I just think if the monopolistic corporations are too big and too essential to take down, then nationalization is a solution with many more positive traits than negative.

Don't 'break it up', nationalize it, and do the same with all these other giant corporations.

Profits could support UBI instead of encouraging billionaires.

Anon was Canadian so the milk was a gallon in an awkward plastic bag.

Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that's why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.

He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.

Awkward.

The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.

I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.

I once said that children who steal can be rehabilitated or taught to be productive members of society.

Downvoted to oblivion while everyone else celebrated the death of 3 kids because "all thieves deserve to die".
