They’re certainly not a thing, but there are definitely companies popping up that will sell you kits to replace the cells in Prius packs among other popular hybrid vehicles.

You do realize that ALL EVs don’t have battery failures, right?

The Big 3, along with every other huge business ALWAYS says that EVERY regulation is going to result in their utter decimation and as a result the end of American life as we know it...

It worked fine on this other failed product...

Its almost as if,... bare steel may have been a poor choice for an automobile finish?

They should lean into it. Replace those panels with Corten steel and call it a patina.

Good thing he was also cuffed, haha.

Charlatans the world over make their fortunes based on saying a few reasonable and obvious things and following them up with absolute drivel. See also: Jordan Peterson...

Debt is a tool to be used. You can use it well or you can use it poorly. To refuse to use it when it is available isn’t really a great mantra.

In the event that you can afford a house either way, they can make sense if you get a rate discount.

I think what you mean to say is “cash back costs US”, comrade...

Rather than forcing continued reliance on AM radio (that I would argue is not actually that effective), maybe we should look into ways that the information can get out there more effectively.

I would argue that its less that they aren’t willing to pay more to support domestic production, its that they can’t afford to support domestic production.

Really, it may be that they need to be categorized differently. Neither of them act in the rational homo economicus way, but high frequency traders are technically purely logical. They look at many many factors in the market and try to make hundreds of thousands to millions of transactions with very small profits in…

Yeah,... I would argue that they might be more fickle and irrational than retail investors.

High frequency traders are absolutely not retail investors. They pay huge sums of money to have servers at the stock exchange and can make tens of millions of dollars a year.

To each their own, but I really enjoy the times when I don’t have a car payment at all. Automobiles are tools that I’m required to own in order to get to and from work and around town.

To be fair, the compensation package that is at issue was signed in 2018 when things were significantly different in a number of ways. It was a poorly written deal anyway though.

I think what is more important than institutional investors and retail investors is high frequency traders. They may only be in the market for seconds to minutes, but collectively, they have the power to crash things so quickly.
