Damn, are you trolling here or are you this dense/stupid? A subsidiary (Volvo Cars) cannot take control of its parent (Geely). That’s basic corporation structure. Geely transferred its 50% interest in the joint venture subsidiary it set up with its subsidiary (again, the sub is Volvo Cars) for ONLY its operations in…

You’re the angry, financially illiterate moron here. The title of your linked article will give it away - “Eyeing IPO, Volvo Cars to take full control of its Chinese business. ITS CHINESE BUSINESS. The first paragraph of the article begins “Volvo Cars has struck a deal to buy out parent company Zhejiang Geely Holding…

They would own stock in Volvo. Geely (publicly held) is the parent company and Volvo won’t be a wholly-owned subsidiary of theirs (I believe they will maintain a controlling interest in Volvo though, or at minimum remain a major shareholder ). Remember that just because a company goes public does not mean 100% of it…

China has been easing up on its requirement that foreign companies can only own companies via a JV (Tesla’s China operations was the first I believe to be wholly-owned by Tesla and not a JV) so Volvo would be following suit.

You’re reading the story incorrectly. Volvo Cars is purchasing its parent company’s (Geely) interest in their co-owned joint ventures in China. So, the JV will be 100% under Volvo vs. the Geely-Volvo joint venture structure (and thus dissolving the JV), but Geely, the parent company, will still own Volvo. This…

Uh, wrong. Volvo’s parent company is Zhejiang Geely Holding Group

FYI, the Canadian Citizenship Act of 2009 all but eliminated inheriting Canadian citizenship from Canadian grandparents. There is a slim exception that opens up a possibility (not a guarantee though) - if a grandparent was serving in the Canadian forces or was working for a federal or provincial government agency outsi…

I was j/k. But, IMO, a full-sized adult and 2 kids trying to sleep inside of a tiny xB compact car would not make for a comfortable trip whatsoever, hence his request to McParland.

You missed the part about “car camping”. He needs a car large enough to sleep him and both of his sons. Or are you suggesting he stuff the smallest into the Thule for the nights?!

I used to stop by this place when driving to Mammoth Mtn. for skiing when I was living in SoCal. Their jerky is excellent.

“It also renewed a longstanding controversy over the San Diego Airport’s location near heavily populated areas.”

So, tell me, how do you feel about Rogers or Telus and the phone plans they offer? ;)

Domino’s has had positive revenue growth year after year for many years straight so that just tells me the Tweeters are more vocal with their fingers but are not representative of the people who are doing the actual buying of the food.

All 3 of them disliked anything Lexus, until Clarkson raced the others to the Mexican border in an LFA. He liked that one.

“Bosco” sticks, capitalized - anyone else think (before reading the paragraph) that this was some sort of dessert - a breadstick covered in chocolate Bosco?

That used to be a regular feature on the east coast/New England area but the supermarkets stopped that for some reason.

SuperTech is made by Champion Labs/Wix as well

I didn’t opine on unions in general but overall I truly dislike what they have become in the U.S. The form of unions in Europe under the European Trade Union Confederation is far superior in my opinion.

Yeah, and the pure as the driven snow UAW just sat idly by, not spending a single dime to try to unionize these shops, all while the poor, dumb, stupid workers didn’t know what to do when it came time to vote because they’re too dumb and stupid so they just threw up their arms and voted no.

It’s 1.5 miles away for ASU. I’d assume that the units will probably be occupied by students who have no real need to get to downtown Phoenix, many of whom do not have a car to begin with.
