This isn’t even news - it’s blatant click-bait. These transactions are publicly available on the Lordstown site, and have been for months. This is the Richard Schmidt one:

I don’t think it was “dumb luck.” After the initial space race era, NASA had become a pork barrel project for handing out lucrative government contracts. It was hamstrung by politically imposed requirements (like having to use ex-Shuttle parts in the SLS or having to partner with foreign governments for the space…

Hmm... Don’t seem to hear any other airlines crying at the moment. Perhaps bad management? Considering AA is now essentially owned by a third rate regional airline once known at America West this is not really surprising. 

This probably seemed like a smart insight before you typed and posted it.

Not sure how bailouts are related to the problem at hand. I definitely have some serious issues with the bailouts and how they were handled, but this is not that. The flight crew shortage was a pre-pandemic issue, which no doubt was exacerbated by the pandemic, but pilots especially were in high demand, and the talent…

I want to see a pivot to a MLM-style operation, it’s the only way to make it more sleazy.

None of this seems “normal,”

There’s a point where every single one of us will say fuck it I’ve got plenty of money. I hope I get there before I turn 60. Looks like this guy hit that point, good for him. 

Also you don’t really get to just dump millions of dollars onto the stock market out of nowhere. He probably had to jump through a ton of hoops.

Well, you see, a guy who was self taught made it to space and let a bag of M&Ms float around. Obviously a huge problem all around. 

Reverse: How so? I think it was the wrong move for the Obama administration to cut NASA’s legs out from under it and scrap the plan to have manned missions to Mars, but I don’t see how letting private entities into the space (no pun intended) is a bad idea. I’m by far not a Musk-eteer, but Space X has developed…

Second gear: That’s not a vote of no confidence, that’s a vote of asset diversification and cashing in big time.
For all we know, the guy left because realized “to hell with it, I’m worth hundreds of millions of dollars, my boss is a tool, and don’t need to work for him to live like a king forever”
which is exactly the…

An executive leaving a company would likely want to diversify his investments. Maybe he does think Tesla stock will take a hit, but it would be a bad idea to leave his money all in one stock either way.

Hey Jason Davis’ parents. Your idiot kid killed himself and his friends. If you have any left raise them better and stop pointing fingers.

This is a pretty bipartisan cause, but the democrats can screw it up if they tie in a big government expansion or reduce intellectual property rights.

F-See me after class.

Shows how close automakers are with law makers. You can make a car that goes double the speed limit but if you make an app that says how fast it’s going you’re a child murderer lol. 

And, if passed, Vice reports, it carries penalties for companies that refuse to comply:

If we are going to blame anybody (besides, you know, the drivers), I think a better case would be against car makers who make cars that go 123mph. I mean those speedometers even go past 55mph, just egging the drivers on to go faster.

Elizabeth, I can see that Jalopnik is practically a one-woman show today (YOU!) but shouldn’t covering today’s MotoGP race be more important for today’s consumption than the odd-ball start of the race seven years ago? I’m not his biggest fan but Marc Marquez has made a pretty spectacular comeback from a dire injury…
