I think a strong argument should be made that you shouldn’t have profits to distribute to shareholders unless the workers are fairly compensated.

That’s all fine and good, and yet, CEO pay is a drop in the bucket relative to publicly held OEM’s revenue and profits.

As for CEO compensation, it’s essentially a red herring argument that has absolutely nothing to do with either UAW or non-represented white collar workers.

Don’t worry guys,... I’m sure Mr. Altman still made lots of money on the pump and dump super serious business venture...

This is changing next year. You’ll be able to assign the tax credit to the dealership and it will end up effectively being a point of sale rebate.

That kind of vehicle is never as profitable as a more upscale vehicle. They want to offset the development costs by selling higher margin luxury-ish vehicles before they move onto the vehicles that are high volume and lower margin...

“I saw broken down EV’s and that allows me to draw conclusions about EV’s in general” is a stupid take.

So,... if that’s the definition you want to use for “obsolete”, who gives a shit if something is obsolete? Your definition is “still perfectly functional, but not the best in the market”... If it met your needs when you bought it, and your needs haven’t changed, the fact that there are other, better products out there…

According to my back of the envelope math,... the guy overpaid.

It is absolutely culture war bullshit,... They just haven’t really done anything unreasonable in this case. If we’re going to address the regressiveness of most use taxes, there are plenty of other places to do that.

So, you’re saying it’ll take between 5 and 20 minutes for the signal to shut off the oxygen to the sector where the 3 boobed prostitutes live/work to get there?

I’m really not sure what effect you think the price of the product that he tested incorrectly and then stole has to do with literally anything.

Being *proudly* anti-union is the problem, not that they’re just a non-union shop. Also, his asset control system is for absolute shit if they accidentally commit conversion, but you can guess that based on the amount of stuff that ends up at employees houses. They stole that prototype.

When I was in spots like that, I tended to write the email out several times without sending it and that worked for me.

And Elon is the guy with all the fanboys who are like “take me to Mars and be my God-Emperor, senpai!”

I agree. These companies effectively have the ability to hold the country hostage, and their poor performance is a huge strategic risk.

She has a rash of shit that she is due for bringing people like Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz to national prominence...

I immediately admitted that I had made that mistake. Where am I defending that?

This is a really strange hill to die on... Also you’re replying to the same comment multiple times.

So,... your argument is that the government took people’s land for a rich person’s vanity project when it was Musk, but they can’t be convinced to do it in this case?
