Do you guys ever get tired saying this?

He still owns Tesla stock. Whoever manages his accounts is definitely well aware the situation in Iran is boosting battery companies. But they just quietly banned the couplers for solar that let you push excess to the grid. Hypocrisy after hypocrisy. Grift after grift.

Why do you constantly post about American politics?

It's alright, I'm blocking you, I might just block every single user that posts something related to Donald Dickfingers and then maybe this place will be cleansed

Have you heard of filters? Adding 'Trump' ought to resolve most of your complaints.

You can scroll by them, no is forcing you to read. It's a great skill as 99% of Lemmy posts are shit anyway.

Yes. That’s one of this administrations goals. Do so much awful shit that people can’t keep track and just start losing interest and now they can just do whatever they want cause no one is paying attention any more.

I'm an Australian though, I don't care about your country or your administration

Secondly I especially don't care when you shove it in my face every single day

Thirdly after 10 years of this I guess you could say I'm pretty pissed off now and want nothing to do with you morons
