This right off the points I made earlier regarding unions in general and in particular in the auto industry: BARRON'S: Could Ford, or others, build EVS as efficiently as the EV leader? The answer was an overwhelming no: 92% of respondents said traditional auto makers won't catch Tesla. Farley...

You like to slip from subject to subject, point to point. When America decides to require parts or builds to be made in America, it's protectionism and subject to WTO review and possible sanctions. However, it's well known that by the time WTO issues findings, the conflict is often long...

Yes, it's fascinating to see the US which for many decades post WW2 was the leading crusader for free markets and competition but 80 years later has gone full opposite with nationalism and protectionism. I'm sure there will be agreements between the US and Europe to smooth out flagrantly anti...

Fine with me! He can close that plant too, if needs be. Plenty of other places in the US or the world that won't let unions in.

Bamboos are a nightmare if they aren't quarantined in concrete or steel encasing. You'll need to not only cut them but dig their roots out. Luckily they don't go deep but they can be quite long. GL

Right, but that's the problem with using %. If I lose $10 and make back $10, I'm also even.

This reminds me of my neighbors. Loving parents who respected and paid for their daughters education choices. Both parents are in finance (university professor and an advisor), one of their daughter did a social studies in a liberal west coast school and then wanted to do a Masters in an...

1984.... Nice! But they don't make them like they used to anymore. The greatest myth is that euro -and German cars in particular- are the best quality cars in the world. Every survey I've looked out have East Asian cars as most reliable, and for many years. And I say that as someone who has...

Sorry, I'll take my survey over JD Power.

Thank you, you made my point. Some would do anything for money.

The market is wide open and ready for competition: https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230214-eu-gives-final-approval-to-2035-ban-on-new-fossil-fuel-car-sales EU gives final approval to 2035 ban on sales of new fossil fuel cars Issued on: 14/02/2023 - 16:20 Cars drive on the Mittlerer Ring...

Meh, I think that's always been. But more kids go to college nowadays than in the past so more colleges are promoting themselves. What is much different today, and repeated around the world, is the cutthroat competition to attract full tuition paying students from foreign countries. These...

You realize that it's going to take at least a couple of years for Twitter to reemerge from Musk's shock therapy. You intend to continue doing a minute by minute "See!, See!" For that long?

Yes, America is in a dilemma. It's the only modern country in the world that charges a lot of money for its own population's college education. The consequence of which is to regard education as a financial investment with necessary practical returns and thus the comments by the OP. In fact...

I get their newsletter. It's absolute shit. Example? They've been dishing FUD on Tesla since as long as I've come across their newsletter in 2019. Oh, and they're dedicated Palantir bulls, the next greatest thing on earth which peaked at 35 in 2021. But hey, it bounced to 9 today, up 20%...

Which better European do you refer to? The Germans who provoked 2 world wars and methodically tried to erase entire groups out of existence? The French and the Brits who fought one another for centuries? Perhaps the Spaniards who "civilized" South America with steel, guns, god and diseases...

No, Porsche are known to be great sports cars and expensive. You assume they are good quality. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/why-porsche-is-least-reliable-brand-new-study/ 2014 Macan S

Sounds like my experience with my Porsche. Bought 2nd hand, less than 10k miles before warranty expiration. A couple months in, with less than 4k left on the warranty, I find an engine leak, take it to the dealer who keeps the car several days, but not long enough to get a loaner. I get the...

Were you given a replacement vehicle during repairs?

I see you're deflecting my question. Perhaps you expected TSLA to drop some more and froze watching it gain 100% in 30 days. That's just too bad but don't worry, there's still time to get in and catch the next 100%. Might take a bit longer this time around though. I imagine the group of Tesla...
