This was often downstream of insurance in NOLA, IIRC

The flip side is that you don't realize how much you don't have to think about where to find a gas station when you're on the road (because they're ubiquitous) until you need a fast charger instead (which aren't, yet) Still 1. most of the time I'm not on the road. 2. fast chargers will get there

Then they write a different article about how just being a parent doesn't give you a right to a political opinion. (The last such article I remember described being a parent as having "kept your cum trophy")

Bad has (at least) two meanings. I usually don't think America is a low-quality place to live in terms of personal comfort. I sometimes think it's evil, and it's effectively a sin to passively accept its social contract. Trump makes that second thing MUCH more likely.

Or someone who understands it just fine and would like people to be misled about it. There are plenty of those around.

Also surprising that the US has Climate Change at #2 (and at this point in the US it's arguably rational to put political extremism higher)

Agree. IDK what it is now, but I worked out a year ago that if they were valued similarly to Toyota, scaled by their sales revenue, they'd be at $30/share. So Tesla stock is either Elon stock, or (mostly equivalently) "future AI/Robot/<waves hands>" stock.

TBF, quarterly reporting isn't great, because it can discourage companies from making long-term investments, or convince them to deviate from a good strategy in the face of a trend. Still, there are some bad reasons to want to get rid of it too, as you mention.

I think that's right, but at one point he had a set of valuable skills. They didn't include technical genius, but they included managing risk, and telling inspiring stories to investors. He's cooked those skills, now.

100% This isn't only Musk companies. A lot of what's wrong with our economic system recently comes from companies being motivated by share price, and share price being entirely disconnected from real value (like earnings). Musk's companies are the most extreme examples.

I think that's probably true, but apparently the Tesla board doesn't think so. Also, I think that's a mid-to-long term play at best for them. In the short term, I think the Tesla board going against Musk would be a stock bloodbath.

Only in the sense that they exist to defend the interests of shareholders. Usually the CEO spouting crazy evil shit would be bad for shareholders, but 80% of the share value of a Musk company comes from people's belief in Musk, shutting him down would cost more than letting him spout.

All I want is food, creative love, schwag, and fried moths

One amazing aspect of this claim is that it requires that Poland is more capable of conquering Ukraine than Russia, which is odd for Putin to assert reguardless of its plausibility.

I'd like this post, but I can't know its context and intention.

Amazing to see some evidence that people might remember that the price of something can influence whether we buy it!

I mean... I *do* want some things reasonably described as hippy shit, bit it absolutely doesn't include a combination train car/sex toy or a fisting laundry.

Must be. It's too big to be a pool shark.

But how many ears must our media have, before they can hear people lie?
