Who’s the party girl?

I had to double-check the date to make sure this wasn’t April 1. It’s been April 1 for more than 3 years.

I mean, it’s got a pretty heavy motor...you need to have big taillights to stop that much weight.

Not the country, just our global status and national self image.

TBH, when I lived in London in the early ‘80's, the Underground smelled like piss as well. Top side wasn’t as bad, but some areas were.

This is what i thought too but because Chinese New Year is a time when Chinese suppliers shut down anyway, they had lots of banked inventory built up. That plus a 5+ week shipping time across the ocean means OEMs should have parts for a while. 

Stockpile dirt and piss machines now

I visited NYC last year. Everything smelled of piss. IDK how people tolerate it. To each his/her own, I guess.

I know, and now they have this new virus, too.

And the karma flip side of inflating stock prices with buybacks.

What’s more, from 2010 to 2019, U.S. airlines spent 96% of their free cash flow, some $45 billion, to purchase shares of their own stock

Seems like if they need $50B, they can just issue $50B worth of new shares. Sure that would greatly decrease the value of existing shares, but hey that’s the tradeoff for not building up cash on hand.
