Down 6% today as of now.
Up 16% week
Down 11% month.
Down 41% 3 month.
Up 3% 6 month.
Up 50% year.

Any loans Elon has taken in the last 3 months against his stock are going to be in really rough shape. Overall though investors gaining 50% in a year is absolutely remarkable even if they're down from ATH. Unless youve been holding from '22 you're probably pretty happy with stock performance.

Great point, there are at least 77,284,118 people who are OK with the current state of affairs.

You gotta remember. The majority of voters wanted this. Trump won the popular vote. He still has almost a 50% approval. Half of Americans are good with what's happening. Let that sink in.

I applied online and got it. Pure luck. My boss liked my resume as I was a very different candidate from the rest of the phds.

Some of the biggest hurdles I see are the double income tax and the fact that many Americans are used to a 30yr fixed rate mortgage which is profoundly not a thing in the rest of the world.

That's crazy but makes sense. Basically benefiting from autos overflow.

My guess is that none of them are at scale to the point where the margins are great. To make the margins acceptable price had to go up.

Nothing is really profitable in auto until the whole production line is operating at full scale.

It wasn't even close. I'd love to hear from the folks who voted against the union to see if it was propaganda, willful ignorance or boot licking.

An easy way to remember etc vs ect is that it stands for et cetera.

Et=and Cetera = other things

In my experience, It's usually replacing employees in one region with people in an other who can do the same job with less pay. RTO is forced layoffs. They are trying to get you to quit so they can hire your replacement in a location with a cheaper cost of living. If your job can be done remotely than it can be done by someone else remotely unless you're very specialized or operationally critical.

It is clear to me you arent thinking about short term profitability. Please try to think of the shareholders.

 

Arliya Martin accepted her high school diploma with relief and gratitude. It was her ticket to better-paying work, she felt, after getting kicked out of high school and toiling for eight years at factory jobs to support her children.

“This is a new path for me to get on with my life,” she said.

But Martin didn’t take any classes or pass any tests to receive her degree. She got it in July from a school where students can get a high school diploma for $465.

Unlike public schools, formal homeschooling programs or traditional private schools, nearly 9,000 private schools in Louisiana don’t need state approval to grant degrees. Nearly every one of those unapproved schools was created to serve a single homeschooling family, but some have buildings, classrooms, teachers and dozens of students.

 

A wonderful downtown pedestrian area has been ruined because a few people didn't like the noise.

 

The president of the United Auto Workers said Friday the union will expand its strike against major automakers by walking out of 38 General Motors and Stellantis facilities in 20 states

 

No matter my mulligan or draw or tech there doesn't feel like there's any way to win against buff token Druid. Dead by turn 7 most games. Silence doesn't help because they get buffed back the next turn.

As warlock I feel like I should just auto concede as a win doesn't feel possible.
