I am just wondering if he spent the dough on coke, prostitutes, real estate (international?) or all the above. Whatever the answer dude made out like a bandit—literally.
It means they thought they could build a better mousetrap. Just one problem though, no mouse would be caught dead in it.

General George Washington’s Order Against Profanity
The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.
Yes. Good point. They should have stuck with what they do know. Was just up in that beautiful area last week. It is all farming country and it looks like they wanted desperately to be like their neighbor San Jose.
Not that kind of green! LOL! I don’t mind paying for that grown with pesticides or without!

That’s not ugly. That’s fugly!
“Acid” is making a comeback?
Pretentious “Green” snobbery and ignorance of reality are a recipe for disaster.
Mike,
No VC partner in their right mind would write a check to you. Your product is, well, lacking.

Socialism at its finest.
This guy is just blowing smoke and large plumes of it. Like all great con artists . . . confuse 'em with your words. Swindle 'em with you lengthy siren song.
When the company still ran into financial trouble last year, the city of Salinas handed to Ryan an additional $240,000 in investment money.
Ryan notified them through an email that his company had crashed and burned.
THANKS, SUCKAS!!!

I think he is saying in commie speak... that he envisions a future where no driver will be necessary and that we all just share our cars with each other. These cars... which will have full autopilot... will be available everywhere... we just have to get into the first car that comes along and go... and the best part is... that the government will pay for it all so it will not cost us anything. My head now hurts and I need Crown and water.

Or one at 500k. Good deal for the owner. :)
Guess in their leftist fog out here they can’t grasp the concept of due diligence.
Must have forgotten to give the Rats a bribe, I mean, a campaign contribution, to get some federal funding.
I, however, am neither surprised or disappointed. No electric car company anywhere on the horizon will survive without the support of a national government. Probably the US national government. Which is rapidly becoming too anemic to spare the capital.
Oh, that's easy. It means when you're dealing with suckers like this:
...a scam artist like Mike Ryan can spout meaningless tripe and it'll be swallowed whole.

Can you imagine Ryan trying to peddle something like that to businessman C. Montgomery Burns?
...me neither.
Here is a different opinion from another great General named George:
“When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. ... As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.”
George S. Patton
