“racing these cars that have nothing to do with the showroom”

This is why I hate trucks and think even the “compact” Maverick is a fail.

This wasn’t so much ahead of its time as it was a product of its time. The 70s were a time when people had to make due with less. These things are a good 2 feet shorter than an S10 extended cab that replaced them (which is the same length as a current Maverick).

But America has spoken. Short bed picks need a hood that is a minimum 65" tall.

Hear me out... more turns.

You’re correct.  They’re not using the term subsidy correctly, they’re using it rhetorically for effect.

High in dollar amount, low in margin. They have to go a very, very long way, and captialize, plan and build infracture decades before its  running, to make single-digit net profit margins.

The subsidies reported here are the difference from efficient fuel price (the sum of supply, environmental, and other costs) to what consumers actually paid. So, this report is saying that consumers paid trillions less than the actual cost of the fuels they consumed.

Not sure where you get that from.  I live in a pretty rural area in the Southeast and our school system does what it can to provide free meals to kids who are in need.  There’s even accounts the community can donate to so it can happen but as of the last few years if the parents/guardians fill out the associated…

Give or take a few bucks. :)

That’s... not really how it works

I am sure he is in cahoots with the hedge funds and other huge institutional investors who will all make a ton of money on the backs of day traders and casual investors, especially if the company fails.

The problem is one dude owns 99% of the stock, so he’s able to heavily influence the price 

Go out to your local dealerships?

If we can include motorcycles then there’s the H-D CVO Road Glide Limited at $52K MSRP!

At first I didn’t think that was real.  And then I looked it up and realized, holy shit, people are actually paying over $100K for a Jeep.

Re: 1st gear - speculative stock with no profits. It’s not investing at this point yet, it’s gambling. 

I understand that investment and capital is important but for decades markets have favored vaporware ideas more than companies that actually make and build things. 

Of course he’s a victim. That’s the world today.

Did this dude willingly tell his story to news outlets? I would not be going public with this type of situation..... or does he actually think he’s the victim here?
