I’d like to know the numbers of hazards, and their types. Obviously, Walmart isn’t going to file a lawsuit without a substantial basis.
“…. ended a distribution deal with Home Depot…” I wonder which party initiated the cancellation?
Liberals generally seem to support everything Tesla and Elon Musk does, despite multiple failures and credible dangers, yet do not believe the regulatory rollbacks on trucks and oil drilling & fracking and pipelines are ‘safe’ or ‘prudent’.
that comment was brought to you by the same guy who once railed against “BOTs” infiltrating the IJ to downvote and censor conservative posts (when in actuality there was a glitch that allowed multiple downvoting, i know this because I used to do it all the time and watch the hilarity ensue) and also the same guy who has some inside knowledge about a health care plan which was supposed to have been passed two years ago, as well as inside knowledge that Jeff Sessions was going to get rid of recre-pot. Don’t take him seriously, the only one around here who does is himself.
Maybe he wouldn’t have down voted if he would have known the “plan”. Plus we elected the supreme negotiator, one vote shouldn’t matter.

Yogi,
I watched a colleague do it. All you needed was an Apple mouse and a rapid finger-click and you could easily rack up anywhere from 100-200 down votes. There were and never have been BOTs. People were just messing with you because they knew it got under your skin.
nope, all you had to do was rapidly click the mouse. I did it myself for both conservative AND liberal comments because it was amusing to watch you blame BOTs. Now, will you man up and admit you were lying about it, or produce your evidence?
And regarding John McCain, he was 1000x the man that the current occupier of the White House could ever dream of being. He had more integrity in his fingernail than Trump has in his entire genetic lineage. While Donnie Bone Spurs was dodging the draft so someone with less money had to serve in his place, John McCain was being tortured in a Hanoi prison. Integrity used to mean something.
So, are you saying Liberals CAN support dumb mistakes made by Tesla, Musk at the expense of US taxpayers and drivers? At the expense of Walmart and its customers? At the expense of people other than Musk?
On the other side if an oil company had a big fire, anyone that supported pushing oil would be lambasted. I believe that is Craig’s point.
It seems as if he is saying fire is a consequence of the government pushing electric adoption, so that perhaps it rolled out before it was ready.
And I might add, instead of taking him seriously, you instead try this ad hominem approach.
Yes, Craig is heated. Any time a liberal says something like this, folks here are sensitive to it.
How about instead of joining on the I’m a great person brigade and Craig is unreasonable, you just tell Craig if he has a point to make, make it.

Bob….if you have a point to make, make it.
1. Craig isn’t even involved here.
2. I simply responded to his question. Emphatically? Yes. But still just a response to his questions. Nothing ad hominem there.
Thanks for coming to Craig’s defense though.

If SolarCity really wants to cut corners just to make a profit, they should pay their employees like Walmart.
Walmart’s average hourly wage is $14.26 and hour and 20+ year employees get 7 1/2 weeks paid time off a year. Medical, Dental, Vision for a family of 4 costs an employee $152 on average every pay period (2 weeks).
How much do you pay your employees on average and what PTO do you provide for your 20+ year employees?
Well, you are not correct regarding Walmart’s PTO or their insurance. This is directly from the Walmart employee home page: https://one.walmart.com/content/dam/themepage/pdfs/time/PTO-Hourly-Accrual_013019B.pdf
A 20+ year employee will earn 5.85 weeks of PTO. That’s not even close to the 7.5 weeks you claimed in your post.
Your claim on the benefits for a family of 4 is hilariously wrong. Again, taken directly from the Walmart employee site: https://smartguide.walmartone.com/smartpages/Media/Default/LeadershipGuide/Decision-Guide-eComm-English-2018.pdf
A family of 4 will pay $152 per month IF they take the high deductible plan with a $6,500 OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE PER PERSON OR $14,000 PER FAMILY. That’s a sick joke. If they want a healthcare policy for a family of 4 with a deductible of $1,750 PER PERSON, the cost is between $284 and $461 PER PAY PERIOD. Again, that’s simply disgusting. That’s not even a healthcare plan. It’s flat out raking your hard working employees over the coals.
I love when people on IJ spout their “knowledge” when a simple fact check will show you the true numbers, taken directly from Walmart. Oh, and the insurance is ONLY for Medical. If you want Dental & Vision, prepare to add an additional $34 per family, per pay period, for dental and $8.26 per family, per pay period, for vision. Oh, there is also a $130 co-pay for Vision. LOL
Yeah, Walmart is an excellent employer. Let’s also not forget to mention VERY FEW Walmart employees are full-time. Most are part time and/or Seasonal employees. Good for you Wayne. You posted a complete lie on IJ. Nice.
You didn’t even get into the fact that at 14.26 per hour, once those benefits have been deducted from their check. They have about $1400 left over (gross estimate, probably less) for a month’s worth of transportation, rent, utilities, groceries, etc. That is assuming they get 40 hours a week.

Nice pivot to a negative political comment. Good work, very smooth and, sadly, predictable.

He’s been busted lying about a statistics degree too…
So, are you saying Liberals CAN support dumb mistakes made by Tesla, Musk at the expense of US taxpayers and drivers? At the expense of Walmart and its customers? At the expense of people other than Musk?
No. No one said that. Literally. No. One.
Not one single person. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. Nope. Nuh-uh.
Not.
One.
Individual.
Not even kind of.
Ok, to be fair here,
