A Tesla killed Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law.

If that batteries short you will be incinerated so quickly that you will be dead before you know what happened.  They go up like the sun.

"..Daily reminder that Elon Musk's charity pocketed $6.84 billion out of the $7 billion they made.

Elon Musk Has a Giant Charity. Its Money Stays Close to Home.

After making billions in *Tax-Deductible* donations to his philanthropy, the pro-fascist elon gave away far less than required — and what he did give supported *his own interests.*

His charity supports HIMSELF and then the fascist takes big tax deductions.

Yes, NYT sucks. But also, Elon is a greedy fascist, thin-skinned, petulant, insecure, vindictive wannabe nazi.."

You may soon have to pay for a subscription to use self-checkout.

Walmart, Target may be testing limits on self-checkouts

(Gray News) - There may soon be limits on who can use self-checkout at stores like Walmart and Target.

Some shoppers have reported that some self-checkout lines have been closed off at Walmart, according to TODAY.

“This is the second time this week that I’ve gone to Walmart, and this is a different Walmart, and it’s been right about this time, and all their self-checkouts are closed and they’ve started to open up the regular lines again,” one person said in a TikTok video.

According to a Reddit post, at least one Walmart had a sign blocking self-checkout lanes saying, “Attention: This self-checkout is for Spark shoppers and Walmart Scan & Go only.”

Walmart Scan & Go is only available for Walmart+ members, which is a paid subscription.

Senior Manager of Corporate Communications at Walmart told TODAY that customers may see changes to self-checkout lanes.

“From time to time, our stores adjust the use of staffed checkouts and self-checkouts. For example, a store might start or end the day with staffed checkouts. As the number of shoppers and associate staffing increases, these stores open self-checkout registers to manage the increased customer flow. This process isn’t new,” Bohl said.

Bohl also told TODAY that Walmart store managers are permitted to run their store in a manner that works best for their employees and customers.

Walmart is not alone in potential self-checkout limits. Target has also reportedly limited the use of self-checkout.

Target customers have expressed concerns on social media over closed self-checkout lanes and not enough cashiers available to checkout customers.

According to a Target spokesperson, there have been no changes to its self-checkout policy.

Retailers say self-checkout lanes make theft easier since no employee is ringing up the items people buy, according to Fast Company.

Wally World has been full of bad ideas for the last 6 years or more.  They need a purge at home office.
