Tesla has been hit by the first strike in company history. Over 500 mechanics and technicians in Sweden won't touch a Tesla. No service, no repairs. And it could soon expand to no imports or exports, because Elon Musk refuses to sign collective agreements in any country.

“The families want the [military campaign's] goal to be the return of the hostages and not the elimination of Hamas…not for restoring the army's lost honor of October 7, not for toppling Gaza and not for taking revenge.”

As anger grows, families of Gaza hostages vow not to give Israeli gov't 'endless credit'

Now Reading: 📚 Manufacturing Consent The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Noam Chomsky and Edward S Herman I first read this back in Journalism school in the mid 90's, and jesus, it hits so hard right now.

That was probably me- I did a bunch of analysis in 2019 that business confidence for NZ was least correlated to their economy in all the world, matched party in power & PM gender and length of office, and we would all be better just looking at other countries confidence.

Party and PM Gender and business confidence

Correlation of BC to GDP change in that country

Degree of correlation between all countries Business Confidence and NZ economy

Linear model results ignoring the economy and matching business confidence to politics

Today Israel bombed the ‘Yafaweyye’ block in a packed refugee camp in Gaza killing hundreds. ‘Yafaweyye’ means people of Yafa. Yafa, was depopulated by Israel in 1948 & renamed Jaffa. Dispossessed then killed in 2023. Settler colonialism is an intergenerational death cult.
