You're sort of right but painfully wrong on so many things. The US government doesn't mint its own currency, it borrows from the Federal reserve. Congress spends money into existence (by borrowing from the Fed), but then we pay back the Fed via taxes.

Poor auditing? Mate, they only audit for you doing what you say you're doing. And if you say you play peek-a-boo, and the auditors watch you play peek-a-boo, you're golden. ISO auditors aren't experts at whatever it is you're manufacturing and measuring, they are only experts on ISO standards. ISO trusts that you as the manufacturer are the expert in what you're making.

ISO9000 is a joke. They don't care what you do, they only care that you do what you said you're doing. So if your inspection process is "we play peek-a-boo with the widget and if it's still on the table when we open our eyes, it's good to ship". ISO only cares that you have a peek-a-boo procedure and your inspectors are trained on how to play peek-a-boo.

I thought your references were oddly vague, so I looked into them. Factual information, like David Cole, the Holocaust denier? Sounds real trustworthy

Most metal parts testing is destructive. I.e., once you test the parts, they are destroyed and you can't use them anymore. That's why the trust I certificates is so important. They certify that metal from the same batch passed those tests. That's why it's a huge safety risk if the certs are fake, there's no guarantee that the metal can meet the requirements, and no way to test without breaking the parts.

Your argument is purely semantic and not really substantive unless you define what a "bad person" is. That'll be different to everyone, so without a common operating definition of a "bad person" your point, while technically true, doesn't really mean anything.

Ok but the Wikipedia for Tesla's history says that musk specifically did not take a role in company operations, he was just hypercritical of design.

So technically he shouldn't be a co founder, he didn't fill that role.

This went from generic to just plain weird.

These days it takes a lot more bravery to be a teacher than a cop.

Sure....and if you were the 18 wheeler, you would give the proper stopping distance to the car in front of you, but it would be up to the person behind you to make sure they give you the same birth from behind. If they are on your (the 18 wheelers) ass, they would be causing traffic.

This isn't meant to be a license to speed up it someone is riding your ass, it's a rule that if EVERYONE followed, it would dramatically cut traffic jams.

Don't know what you're talking about, every act under intoxication is already legally intentional. "It's not rape officer, I was drunk!" Doesn't hold up in court

By definition, if you got rid of cars, you wouldn't have traffic. Traffic is made from cars.
