Mexico exports roughly 85,000 different products into the US (1.5% of total imports).

What it means is that his core belief system doesn’t align with Trump. Vance is absolutely taking an opportunity to advance his own best self-interests. (His ability to earn went up significantly in any post-WH job. Look at the book advances alone, $100M for Obama and we have yet to hear how Biden will monetize his…

If you look at Vance prior to being pulled into Trump orbit, he made sensible statements and was vocal about the dangers Trump posed. It’s this version of Republicans that has morphed into White Nationalist, strangely isolationist that has upended sense.

Tesla’s valuation continues to make zero sense from a fundamental basis. Usually Key-Man Risk gets you people complaining about the future of a company, but investors seemingly WANT Musk regardless of the POS he plays in real life. He’s the “secret sauce” to paraphrase Mark Cuban...

You pleb... I could pick up a new 911 GTR3 for less than a used Ferrari 250GT!

I would like to share your optimism but men tend to vote in person if we are playing the gender statistic. (The Selzer poll from the weekend had a serious weakness in not delineating the 9% “Undecided”. But also assuming men and all those women are single subject voters has been the problem in the past.)

Rarely do you hear people advocate for a Democratic Kleptocracy...

Because NASA has done it’s job?

Well done...

Trump will keep the EV credits... it’s the only way Tesla makes money. His butt-boy Elon will insist for his investment.

Elon Musk is showing up in my Jalopnik feed and the only way to rid myself is to stop reading this site...

IF you’re willing to do some digging...

Government contracting is a science in and of itself. This fiscal year’s encumbered funds gets a slight mark-up for the next fiscal. Rinse and repeat.
