Germany's population in the 30s was 66M. 20-25% of Germans directly or indirectly were involved with the N@zi party. It took a quarter of the population to pull off that shit over an area the size of Texas + New Mexico.

25% of the US population is about 85M. Our entire military is about 2.8M.

Tesla telling me to vote against my own interest:

"A bill introduced in Washington..., attempts to force Tesla to discontinue our sales activities across the state...

Let your state representatives know that you oppose SB 5377..."

The bill aims to protect consumers from unfair pricing.
