Planners should have to design cities from behind a Rawlsian veil of ignorance. That is to say: the planner will have to live in the city they design, but they don't know *where* in the city.

It’s good to see this finally gaining traction. Tesla as a whole is a great platform for decarbonization with their solar panels, batteries, and cars (not trucks), that needs new, competent, and attentive leadership.

Remember when Tesla fired all of their supercharger team, and then realized later that was a stupid move since they're a pretty key part of their platform? Then when they tried to rehire the entire team, other charging companies already scooped some of them up? That definitely wasn't foreshadowing.

I’d also love to see the board at Tesla remove him as CEO. He’s not focused on the best interest of the company and is doing years long damage to the brand’s equity; one that will take a lot of time and money to repair.

This narrative being TRUMPeted lately that somehow standards are lowered because you're including LGBTQ+, women, people with disabilities, and people of color, is one of the most disgusting lines yet that I've heard from this crowd; one that continues to set the bar lower and lower each day.
