People are destroying Tesla charging stations

You are making a compelling case against capitalism.

The exact opposite.
Under capitalism, work that is valuable today can be worthless tomorrow, because of decisions made completely outside the workers' control.

Yup...because reality.

That is not how things in general should work.

Says who?? That's how things are.
And people are entitled to equity just because they exist,.

No they are not. Not even you believe that.

Harm to his business. A thing more precious to him than the lives of his children.

So just a leftist fantasy. That's not suffering LOL.
 
You are not thinking of Darwin. You are thinking of Herbert Spencer.

[TD]The inappropriately named 'social Darwinism' is more accurately a 'social competitivism', which establishes competition as the general norm of individual and collective existence, of national and international life alike. [...] This ideology of competition renewed the dogmatism of laissez-faire, with significant political consequences in the United States, which challenged a number of laws protecting wage-earners.[/TD]

Social Darwinism is a philosophy[note 1] based on flawed readings of Charles Darwin's biology text On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859). The philosophy came into existence towards the end of the 19th century, though one can trace its origins all the way back to the ideas of Thomas Malthus (1766-1834).

Social Darwinists took the biological ideas of Charles Darwin (often mixing them with the theories of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and of Malthus) and attempted to apply them to the social sciences. They became especially interested in applying the idea of "the survival of the fittest" (their words, not Darwin's) in a social context, as this would excuse existing applications of racism, colonialism, and unfettered capitalism (for them, at least). Social Darwinism also became a tool to argue that governments should not interfere in human competition (as it existed at the time) in any way; and that the government should take no interest in, for example, regulating the economy, reducing poverty or introducing socialized medicine. In other words, have a laissez-faire policy. Because (pseudo)science, bitches!

Proponents of this philosophy tend to forget that altruism first evolved because it was evolutionarily advantageous: tribes full of altruistic folks working together were more successful as a group, and thus out performed and outbred tribes of more selfish humans that couldn't work as a team. In other words altruism is an aspect of Darwinism; you can't claim to be applying evolutionary theory to social dynamics if you refuse to accept any form of social altruism when humanity as we know it couldn't have evolved without the trait.


The term "Social Darwinism" originated in Great Britain with the work of Herbert Spencer, who used the phrase "survival of the fittest"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png in 1864. However, his work found more fertile ground in the US where it was taken up by William Graham Sumner who was accused of advocating a "dog-eat-dog" philosophy. This set of ideas was also influenced by the writings of Thomas Malthus, who had argued that war was a check on population growth and that welfare promoted population growth among the poor and thus drove down wages. Indeed, what is often called "Social Darwinism" might be more accurately called "Social Malthusianism", since Malthus explicitly promoted policies which one can construe as Social Darwinism.[7] The influence of Malthus could be seen in Victorian-era workhouses; reforming (in actuality, virtually eliminating) the Poor Laws; and in a general upper-class contempt for the lower classes for their demands of charity. This trend also built on the ideas of Jeremy Bentham's utilitarianism, one of the strongest ideologies of the British middle-class, which promoted the view that workers chose the poor life and that workhouses would encourage those who wanted to succeed to do so. Darwin himself feared his theory would be used for this purpose.

At the same time, the "struggle school" of Social Darwinism was developing. In this view, nations grew and expanded as a result of conflicts with their neighbors. For many, this justified overseas expansion by powerful nations at the expense of the weak and necessitated the development of strong military forces.

At more or less the same time, the movement of "Reform Darwinism" originated. This variant emphasized the need for change and adaption in human society to meet new conditions. For example, Reform Darwinists argued that the Constitution of the United States should be reinterpreted to meet changing conditions in the US. However, some reformers felt that they could use the principles of (Social) Darwinism to justify imperialist, classist, racist, and sexist opinions (because this was the 19th century, after all). And at the extreme of these views was eugenics, originally developed by Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton. Certain eugenicists advocated state policies such as forced sterilization of the "unfit" (by their standards, of course).[8]

Ford knows how to do it: it's offering free at-home charging units plus covering the costs of installation with the purchase of their EVs. Given the present administration's cutting back on proposed public EV charging stations, it's a smart move.

USA: Ford offers free home charger with new EVs​

American automaker Ford will offer customers who buy or lease a Ford electric vehicle by the end of the year a free home charger. It will also cover the installation cost in hopes of curing range anxiety and winning over new customers.

The offer applies to all customers who buy or lease a Ford Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning pickup truck, or E-Transit Cargo van after 1 October and is valid through the end of the year.

Good to see Tesla stock price up 10% over the past 8 days with all left wing vandalism that’s been going on. Most TSLA shares are owned by pension funds, a bit by individual investors, and only about 13% by Musk.
