    Welcome to the 21st Century America!

    Again, you take your specific disciplined experience and project to the rest of the population while I keep repeating that you're the exception, not the norm, with data showing the crazy amount of credit card debt in America. Europe allows very limited access to credit (cards) based on proven...

    Turbo learner? ChatGPT is getting worse and worse in different disciplines

    Soon no more need for cash or tellers, or branches or ATMs.. like Wise and a group of other online multi currency banks.

    Turbo learner? ChatGPT is getting worse and worse in different disciplines

    We're just at the beginning of the "revolution". I can imagine businesses with large repository of useful data, like law firms, would pay dearly for a user friendly interface able to instantly pull all records, synthesize and guide to advance a solution to a given problem.

    Turbo learner? ChatGPT is getting worse and worse in different disciplines

    I'd say, garbage in garbage out. The motivation to load it with bad data must be titillating for pranksters, bad actors, competitors, governments... List is endless.

    Yup, you don't have to go to court mandated detox to be an addict.

    Welcome to the 21st Century America!

    Funny guy... Perhaps you can explain then why Europe keeps a strict control over bank issuing credit (not debit) cards? Fact, Americans have the world's highest credit card debt in the world, to the tune of $986 billion, the highest ever. Perhaps you manage your cards wisely, but evidently...

    Welcome to the 21st Century America!

    No, not "Same here in America". Credit card debt in America isn't mortgage or car payments which, most often, are not credit card purchases. Doing drugs isn't a problem is you learn to manage your habit. You can have a whole lotta variety in your closet but if you're careful, it's not a...

    Welcome to the 21st Century America!

    Europeans aren't in debt like Americans (mortgage and cars are their primary debt) because rules regarding credit cards are strict.

    Tesla 2023

    I don't know what you mean. For a couple years you compared F and GM to Tesla to justify a bearish call, then when that proved wrong you spinned margin as the key to a car manufacturer valuation but, high or low volume sales, Tesla margins are still higher than everyone so now you decide that...

    Tesla 2023

    Maybe, although I doubt it. Tesla's numbers are stellar. Margins, which you like to focus on, are still the highest in the industry (yes, other than Ferrari). I think it's just more of an opportunity to fluff the price (exuberance) and sell on day of for a nice profit. Share price at Q3 will...

    Tesla 2023

    Meh, look at the last couple years and you will see that share price drops fairly significantly after each Q reporting.

    Tesla 2023

    Wall Street is fickle and good for trading. But I'm also invested in TSLA for 5 to 10 years, so long term growth is important.

    Tesla 2023

    Musk believes that it's more important to increase the number of Teslas on the roads than it is to maximize profits. I tend to agree with that assessment, both because of the increased possibility of FSD purchase and because Tesla has the highest satisfaction rate in the industry with 65%...

    Welcome to the 21st Century America!

    Remember that in Europe credit isn't handed over like drugs to junkies the way it is in America. Nearly all transactions are debit from a bank account and paid to a bank account. You fear China's dematerialized currency but the same will be in Europe. Both wants to crack down on capital flight.

    Tesla 2023

    The price hasn't been announced yet, but it will certainly not be $40k but closer to $60+k. Unlike some Tesla fans, I don't think the Cybertruck will be as popular as projected sales. Like the S and X it will remain a fringe product because it will be more expensive to buy than anticipated, its...

    Welcome to the 21st Century America!

    I realize some want to hang on to their paper and coin currencies as long as they can, but reality is that we are well on our way to dematerialization. There are many more good reasons to do this than not, and there's no reason that democracies should hold off because of 5he further control...
