I’m sure you don’t ascribe to any party and probably don’t even vote... You strike me as the “I’m super smart because I have a unique perspective that doesn’t actually make logical sense” type person,...

Hype and lack of competition. They are powerful things. For most people who are interested in buying them, they are the coolest car in the world. I really believe that the vast majority of car buyers don’t get excited about buying a car.

So,...

Porsche defaulted on a bunch of the loans that they took out to buy VAG stock,... that’s called being over leveraged. They also did it to themselves because they created their own short squeeze. They had so many options to buy stock that there were more shorts than outstanding shares,... They were counting on it…

The problem is that he’s not just a geek who wants to geek out about his interests... He’s the CEO of a publicly traded company with insider information. It is classified until it becomes public. “Insider trading” specifically deals with the information that he has access to and is not allowed to share any time he…

I’m obviously not a campaign slogan writer/wordsmith...

It’ll be interesting to see how businesses will react to this. The best reaction would be for them to invest the time in studying their supply chains (maybe even decide that onshoring more suppliers is worth the increased cost)... Some will certainly throw out JIT and go searching for the next buzzword manufacturing…

It just feels like they consider themselves a more evolved human,... Like they’re superior in every way and so they lack the ability to empathize. Like I would have a hard time empathizing with a turtle or something like that.

This reminds me of Matt Damon being proud in an interview that he stopped using the f-slur in late 2020 or early 2021...

It moved that direction with Brexit. I think Northern Ireland and England are pretty closely tied, but there is some (justifiable) animosity directed at England from the other countries in the UK...

Toyota sort of invented Just-In-Time inventory control and they’re dedicated to it. As a result, they do it better than almost anyone.

There are historical reasons for poor participation. Automatic voter registration and universal mail in voting tends to help.

I’m hearing lots of really bad things about the Dem’s campaign so far. I don’t know how accurate they are. It seems like it was a dog shit campaign,...

Dimes to dollars the cops who quit are exactly the ones that you want to quit. Hiring better replacements won’t fix most of the issues, but keeping the pressure up and making sure that taking a job with the police department is going to involve having your actions scrutinized to make sure you aren’t abusing your…

I would be willing to bet that they didn’t give back all of the surge that came from the initial announcement, and they’ll get another one when the deal is actually signed.

I would advise them to talk to their senator.

Unless it was specifically “it would be ridiculously racist to say ‘George Floyd got what he deserved’”, then I would say that the context was not that important.

So, you would gladly pay taxes for things that you didn’t agree with if they met your arbitrary standard for efficiency? Did you know that most “wasteful government spending” stories are completely bullshit created by libertarian billionaires who *gasp* don’t want to pay taxes? Have you considered that you are being…

Eh,... Porsche was leveraged all to hell on that deal and it’s why they went bankrupt. It’s not that they just had so much money laying around that they could acquire a company that sold 60 times more cars at that point. At that point Porsche was making more money dicking around in the stock market (frequently dicking…

You lost money during Obama’s term? You must have made some terrible fucking moves because the Dow Jones went from like 8000 to 22000 under Obama.
