It’s big but tbh it didn’t really look *that* big to me at first, until I remembered that all those teeny tiny dots moving around are people, which really gives it scale!

Well done, #Denver!

A measure to end Tesla's ability to sell to consumers was introduced in Washington state Legislature

Senate Bill 5377, sponsored by Sens. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle) and Mike Chapman (D-Port Angeles), strengthens consumer protections and promotes fair practices among manufacturers, distributors, and local auto dealers. It closes a decades-old loophole that limited consumer choice and created an uneven playing field for manufacturers of clean-fueled vehicles in Washington state.

Unfortunately, legislators didn't have the spine or public backing to get it out of committee, so it died early.

1/n Washington State has a Tesla monopoly problemvthrough an exemption to state law from 2014: solving it by passing legislation that allows competition would pretty much drive them out of the state, but also level the playing field for other EV manufacturers.

It was pretty considerate of Elon to come out in support of the Neo-Nazi AFD party in Germany, so that Tesla sales in Europe would collapse just before the US economy got blasted by trump. Can't wait until Tesla stock has a rapid unscheduled disassembly.
At my next Tesla protest I may have to wear black out of respect for the demise of Tesla's reputation.

The next National Day of Action is reportedly #April19 (I can’t find official confirmation of that date yet, please share if you do!). The goal is for 3.5% of the population to join in, so let’s make the next one even bigger!!

Curious why 3.5%? More info here: bbc.com/future/article/2019051

#TeslaTakedown is proof that a population pissed off enough overcomes the collective action problem.

Tesla take down is the best antidote to #enshittification

So spread that woke mind virus, that any company that gloats about its profits has just established it’s too big for its britches and needs to suffer a bit of popular taxation in the form of losing customers.

Nothing like 100% tax rate of total revenue loss.

Permanently.
