1st Gear: Isn’t Market Share just an indicator of past success?  Yes, I get that if there is a ton of brand loyalty then loosing significant share can be an unfixible problem, but chasing Market Share instead of profits seems like a fools errand to me, as, long-term, that same Market Share you are chasing will suffer.

But you see, there’s no contradiction there. Skilled labor is doing fine; there’s an excess demand for it, so our wages are going up and we have a good amount of job security due to lack of qualified replacements.

“This is good, because as much as GM is a big, important company, there are many more voters who do not care about GM.”

To be fair, Uber/Lyft can independently choose to use a front license plate even if the state doesn’t require one; it’s not like Ohio is banning the use of front license plates.

I’m going to add one major point to this that wasn’t mentioned in the article:

Next, make a directors cut where the old Will Smith is the CGI, and see who notices.

Red Sox apparently confused about the double-switch; more at 11.

Possibly stupid question: Is Jubilee still a vampire?  Been a while since I’ve really paid attention, due to the constant relaunches.

I *thought* it was mentioned in a book in W3 that Yenns back was fixed via magic, though it’s assumed the rest of her appearance is a glamour.
I might be misremembering though.

In that part of the country, option B is a good way to get yourself shot.

My criticism of the F-35 is due to two fundamental reasons:

Don’t oversell stealth. It’s a nicety, but the fact the US is so touchy about it touching Russian built systems show the worries it can be defeated.

F6F Hellcat for life.

3rd Gear: Should anyone be shocked? Supply chains are global now, and tariffs on China will lead to price increases here. Case in point: Manufacturing is declining again, due to lower sales, especially in export markets. Much like protective tariffs in the 70's killed the US auto market in Europe, these tariffs will

The best accomplishments come when you disregard cost.
