| >Do you think if you explained to these protesters that the Tesla factory will stimulate the economy and that they should be grateful they would change their minds? Nope, because, like I already said, they most likely have an environment and a lifestyle that allows them the legal and financial freedom to not depend on Tesla's jobs for survival, which is why I said that's a luxury they should cherish. Other countries and other people can't be so choosy to protest against more employment in their area, which I'm not sure the protesters or the HN comments replying to me can empathize with. Or, to put it differently, it's easy to protest against a company you despise, when your employment is an another field, your stomach is full and your bed is warm and you have a welfare state to fund you when you don't, but a lot of people on this planet are not so fortunate. I hope It's clear now and I won't have to repeat this point for the third time. >If Germany is anything like the US, these people are willing to risk their personal safety to fight for their beliefs. Very good. Chapeau to them. > instead of writing them off as ill-informed? Where did I do that? Maybe read my comment again, but without the lens. |
