Nobody gets a pass on displaying the Southern Swastika.

Just like the Third Reich is an everlasting part of German culture.

That flag became popular after the 1948 election, when Dixiecrats used it to signal their opposition to civil rights. It has ALWAYS been racist.

My analogy isn’t about the difficulty of swapping out an engine. It’s about how common it is for a car to need it. The overwhelming majority of EVs will never need a battery replacement, even if they’re on the road for 20 years. There are some 15+ year old Teslas on the road with their original battery, and they have…

Nobody wants a used car with an engine that leaks oil, either. That doesn’t mean engine technology is a failure. Most EVs will never need their battery replaced, just like most cars will never need a total rebuild of the engine.

The entire Supercharger division was fired.

Thanks to the Biden administration making noncompetes illegal in all fields, these employees can work for any other car manufacturer they want. I bet many have already found new jobs where they will help a competitor catch up.

I’d come back at double the pay, and keep looking for a new job.

Meetings aren’t work. They’re where work goes to die.

“The market dictates value”

Does the extra hundred bucks you get from gaming interest rates all year actually buy you anything? Or is smugness the only benefit?

You’re playing games with nickels and dimes when you say move money from one account to another just to get an extra 0.04% interest. Meanwhile scalpers are driving up the cost of homes by more than just dimes.

Even that kind of CEO is worth half a mil, a million tops. But that’s true of literally anybody.

44% of home purchases in 2023 were speculative investors.

All of it is an expense to the company, for which the company gets nothing of value in return.

I’d be shocked if they actually worked more than 25 days.

That’s not a recent problem. Savings accounts have never kept pace with inflation. You’re better off in an index fund, unless you’re close to retirement and can’t afford a short-term market crash.

There’s a mistake in the article:

A “high” yield savings account will give you less than inflation. Your money is worth less next year than it is today, even with the tiny amount of interest.

44% of all home purchases last year were corporate investors. The speculation isn’t just happening, it’s almost half of all purchases.
