Wake up and cut the crap!

 So...  Paul Krugman says if you own a Tesla yur making s statement: Yeah I'm rich, but I'm woke".  I got problems with this on several levels.

First, I own a Tesla...  I'm not rich;  I just really, REALLY didn't want my car replacement to be running fossil fuels... I mean, since I had a choice.  Tesla is known to be far ahead of other E-Car manufactures at the time of purchase, has a well developed charger network and goes for the most miles.  Yeah, it stretched us to buy it but it was unquestionably the best choice at the time.

Yes, the CEO daily defines 'Asshole'.  Yes be bought Twitter, over paying and destroying Twitter and pulling Tesla down over 75% in share value.  But hey, it was known to be over priced.  The cars are too, but they are still fun to drive and that zero emissions thing?  That alone is worth it.

But this WOKE thing... how did we ever get to the point that having ones eyes open is a BAD thing?  We could use more people choosing human-kind and not walking around 'unwoke' because the Rs have made it a bad word somehow.

Wake up, people.  There is some waking needed for god's sake.  Do we care about each other?  Do we take care of our brothers and sisters regardless of their beliefs, color or religion?  Folks you all NEED someone to shake you wake.  Pay attention...  there is EVERYTHING at stake. If you aren't waking up then you're asleep; someone is selling you a load of crap. Wake the fuck UP!
