It’s a remarkable human being who can still be hopeful given world circumstances.

It is Tesla that has turned me from a cynic to a hopeful futurist!

When I was younger, I disliked capitalism mainly for its use of oil in fuel and plastics. I saw them as one and the same thing. The greedy speculator barrelling oil and to hell with the consequences. Tesla has changed my mind. Looking back at the great discoveries of the early 20th Century, I thought climate change would be solved via university research departments, I never thought it would be a serial entrepreneur!

Elon is an entire justification for our capitalist system. And he understand it completely, you simply have to make eco-friendly products compelling, way better than the alternatives. Before him, everyone made excuses that this wasn't possible and the only way to be eco-friendly is to be vegan and ride bicycles.

I know Tesla can't do it on its own, but the lazy excuses are not acceptable anymore.

Ideally, I would like for the public to realize that they have been misled, and for everyone to come together and demand more objective, FACTUAL, coverage (from both sides) of politics. Right now, you turn on media coverage, for either side, and things are so . . . emotional, with really bad name calling (to put it politely). All that does is distract us from focusing on fixing the problems we face.

While we’re putting forth our Christmas Wishlist; I’d like the unicorns to be released from the barn again. I need to add some additional features to my mountain because human beings.

With AZ, NV, WI, ME and MI, Biden has 269 (excluding the 2 electoral votes for the winners of each congressional district).

Trump needs GA, NC, PA, AK, and NV or MI to flip.

Edit: play with the map here

I'm calculating he has 270 as it stands now?

227 called, AZ 11 + NV 6 + WI 10 + MI 16 = 43... 270

Same. For some reason a similar map put me at 269 earlier. Not sure what the error is there. Probably there was a one vote Maine change or similar. I do think there's a very good possibility he wins PA or GA however it seems he doesn't need to which makes it more of a lock.

PA he's still 500k behind - did they start the postal vote counting yet or are they still on the day ballots?

Washington Post's analysis of the ballots still outstanding suggests PA could end up in BIden's column, but it's increasingly looking like it won't matter.

Can they both end up with 269, i.e. a tie ?
What happens in that case ?

tldr -- if it's a tie, then Trump wins.

I believe all counties started this AM. There are like a couple of million mail ins to count. WI had a 5:1 Biden for mail ins. If PA has similar odds then Biden may flip PA.
