Not a new concept. I remember reading about something like this being mooted in the 1960s.


The OP has a history of posting nonsensical and illogical questions like this on Hacker News. Wondering if they're doing this just to try to bump up their karma or if they're actually spending their time thinking about this sort of silliness.


I kinda like his questions. Yes, they're very often nonsensical and/or a bit silly, but sometimes they inspire lateral thinking or the questioning of unconscious assumptions. I appreciate that. I just ignore the ones that don't make me think.


Take what you do seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously.


I'm ambivalent. My employer issued me with a touch screen laptop and I rarely touch the screen. So much so that I forget that the screen is touch sensitive.

It does get a bit annoying on those occasions when I try to wipe a bit of dust of something off the screen and accidentally hit the button to leave a meeting or close a window. That doesn't happen too often, though.


Thanks for that!



And of course the DOGE employees will comply ...


Are Tesla owners a protected class?


The notional protected class here appears to be holders of particular political views, not Tesla owners.


That could cover Tesla owners, because they are assumed by the perpetrators to hold certain political views, evidenced by owning that car, which is why it is okay to destroy their property.

If you are mistaken for Jew by coincidence due to the way your face is, and are subject to an anti-Semitic attack, you are virtually a Jew then; it is a hate crime and you are the victim. It's not simply that Jews, as a class, are the victims of the hate crime part of it, and you are just the victim of plain attack.


The perpetrators know full well that most Tesla owners are Democrats.

They are using violence to try and hurt Tesla's business and make people afraid to buy their cars.


The "Oh, I'm special because I drive a Tesla" defense. No, people who drive Teslas aren't special or protected. They just drive a particular brand of EV.
