What do you make of doctors and dentists asking questions (on forms) of new patients regarding guns in the home? I've skipped those questions and no one seems to mind - I don't think the doctors are asking them, it is some req'd thing they pass on.

Seems very political and weird. Why would a dentist ever worry about such things?

I would definitely change my mind about a doctor if he/she did require an answer to those intrusive questions. For the same reason, I don't post on Twitter or Truth. Eventually, some hacker or inside quack will leak the user identities. Anything you say can and will be used against you. With a two-tier justice system, it isn't worth it. I think that should be the HIGHEST priority to get corrected once free speech is restored.

Bill Millan was a brave man.

>> Heard yesterday that GM is pulling their TWTR ads because of Musk. Was wondering - how many people will change their mind about buying a GM car because of that.

GM may be thinking their funding of advertising there is propping up their competition (Tesla).

I believe GM and Ford are going to find replicating Tesla's success is hard enough without helping fund the competition. Musk is one of the great engineers on the planet. And more committed than almost all of them.

It is going to be really hard for GM & Ford to make their self-imposed deadlines for producing quality Evs, IMO.

If true, Musk should be worried. Over 90% of TWTR's revenue comes from advertising.
