Rcade with the Tesla semi tweet lol. Always a dog. Electric is a poor solution for medium & long distance trucking. Decent for local delivery work.

In WW2 the Allies invaded and conquered Iran for oil and installed a puppet government.
Anywhere you do that it goes badly in the long run regardless of religion.

Mars is the only planet in the solar system entirely inhabited by robots.

Governments go to war for resources.
The People fight for the guy in the foxhole next to them.
