So the story is plausible then?

I’m not actually worried about my drives. In fact that was kind of the point. I was kidding around because this excuse that the hard drive overheated sounds a little like a car running out of blinker fluid.

I know right.

Hey we don’t want your crap in our country. America first. But while I have you on the phone…

Ok, but do you know anyone this has happened to? I don’t and I have some pretty old drives I still use. I tend to just buy more. Also most drives these days are solid state aren’t they? This just feels like a low probability event to me. Overheating RAM or the CPU or GPU, sure, but hard drive?

So you’ve had this happen?

I didn’t know hard drive overheating was a thing. Should I be worried that my 5 year old hard drive is about to overheat. I mean is this actually a floppy disk or something?

What does it mean the US has reached out? Individual store chains? State governments? Certainly not Trump.

Pretty sure THEY are the ones missing something. They’ve been brainwashed into thinking you should be embarrassed NOT to shun your family so you can be at work 24/7 to make someone else rich. Take advantage of that program while it still exists.

Good.

Well said.

China is saying this? I’ll never understand how the world works.

I know right. Why do they always have to rename stuff. Isn’t there enough new stuff to name?

My God we’re all going to starve to death.

Agreed. And it’s not like you’re going to find a GOOD company to invest in. But I do think that some companies are just too evil to support. And I certainly wouldn’t go talking Elon up just because I made money on the stock.

You could try just distancing yourself from him. You don’t know what the future brings. Maybe something will happen to bring him around to your way of thinking and then you haven’t burned any bridges. I mean it may come to a confrontation, but you’re there already, so no real loss.

So are some Americans.

You probably feel that way because this is what it feels like when evil wins.

Yes. They’re called politicians.

My favorite is Apruary. Kind of like National ape month.

I was wondering the same thing. I wasn’t aware he got subsidies. The article only pinpoints $4.9B, but it’s an old article. Thanks for sharing.
