Nekako se mi zdi, da zadnje čase tukaj ni prav veliko pisanja o Tesli. Pa poflikajmo to luknjo s samo nekaj dni staro zgodbo o Tesli in plačah in sindikatih in Musku v Fremontu.

Most Tesla production workers earn between $17 and $21 hourly. The average auto worker in the nation earns $25.58 an hour, and lives in a much less expensive region. The living wage in Alameda county, where we work, is more than $28 an hour for an adult and one child (I have two). Many of my coworkers are commuting one or two hours before and after those long shifts because they can’t afford to live closer to the plant.

Musk rejected all the claims made in the blog post in his direct message to Gizmodo. In addition, he also questioned the authenticity of the worker making the claims against Tesla.
CNBC contacted Tesla on Friday, however, a spokesperson was not available for comment at the time of publication.

Mind you, če se kdo misli, da je Trump izumil pretežno enosmeren način komunikacije z mediji in zunanjim svetom, naj malo pogleda, kako to že vrsto let počnejo kalifornijski guruji tipa Musk, Jobs ipd.

Ko smo že v Kaliforniji, naj omenim še, da imajo tam nek visok jez, za katerim je jezero z rekordnim vodostajem, ki je posledica obilnih padavin. Hudo je, ker se je glavni (betonski) prepust za čezmerno vodo zaradi erozije in obremenitve v sredini sesul. Zaradi tega so vodo preusmerili na zasilni dodatni prepust, ki pa sploh ni utrjen.

Zdaj grozi, da bo čez deroča voda toliko poškodovala neutrjeno "strugo", da bo izpodkopala ta del zajezitve. To bi pomenilo pravo katastrofo, zato so oblasti odredile evakuacijo skoraj 200.000 ljudi.

Najbolj zanimiv del zgodbe je pa ta, da so nekatere nevladne organizacije opozarjale na nevarnost neutrjenega prepusta že pred 12 leti. To je bilo v času nebrzdane konjunkture in muscle-guvernerja Arnolda Schwartzeneggerja. Kalifornijski in zvezni strokovnjaki teh opozoril niso upoštevali. Je bilo treba šparat...

Three environmental groups — the Friends of the River, the Sierra Club and the South Yuba Citizens League — filed a motion with the federal government on Oct. 17, 2005, as part of Oroville Dam’s relicensing process, urging federal officials to require that the dam’s emergency spillway be armored with concrete, rather than remain as an earthen hillside.
