Ferrari has a long wait list for these one of one cars. I don’t think the owner was considering the pandemic when they ordered the car a couple years ago. And sure, it costs the same as a bunch of PPE. Of course the issue with PPE right now is supply constrained, not specifically the ability to pay for it.

The last gen viper was absolutely gorgeous.

Eye of the beholder and all, and I might be just a bit biased, but there’s no way that thing is better looking than this:

How else will the wealth trickle down if the rich don’t spend their money? (You don’t get to be uber wealthy by wasting money on charity/philanthropy.)

The quiet crisis here in the Golden Shower State is that their use of “imported” energy (mostly from coal) has skyrocketed since all this Green Energy Kabuki Theater started. They claim to be 100% renewable going forward, even as the massive shortfall is made up with huge buys of coal power from around the region.

Its very frustrating. This news broke yesterday, mere weeks after Newsom was up on a stage talking about how hard it is to procure more electricity from neighboring states during the heatwave. There is an existing power shortage in CA and he just makes a mandate to increase load on the system while they simultaneously

They literally went through rolling blackouts for just a 2 week heatwave. How the hell in 15 years are the power companies supposed to keep up with demand. They cant build coal, natural gas,

The willingness to cause environmental catastrophes and kill people may be somewhat unique to China though. Though probably not - there is Africa after all. Just there you need to supply your own army for protection too. Costs a lot more than just greasing the right palms.

It seems EV companies are popping up in a similar fashion as tech companies in the 90's. Judging from the market caps of some of these companies, the bubble is going to be similar as well. 

It’s good to see them diversifying, but batteries seem like a weird direction for Alcoholics Anonymous.

Anyone sufficiently good at sports to win multiple championships and set records usually is kind of a dick.

I’m surprised that he didn’t use reverse gear to condemn the amount of lives lost due to the bombing runs made during WWII.

Calling investors who want to make money off their investments may be one of your worse takes yet, do you not know how investing works? 

Wow. For the first time ever, I might star one of the anti-liberal comments.

A Morning Shift finally hit 5/5 wrong takes, congrats all around!

Plus, he brings in tons of sponsorship money (RedCola, Telmex), which would absolve Haas of doing another Rich Energy thing.
