Damn.
American here. I'd love it but train plans often fail because most US cities have garbage tier options after you get off the train. We need busses that run on time, protected bike lines (not just paint on a 55mph road), and many other alternatives to help make trains more viable. Places where you see trains and light rail in the US often have good alternatives for connecting citizens to those train routes other than cars.
I used to reverse commute in Chicago to my car in the burbs. I still needed the car because ordering Uber and being on time for work every day was not a good alternative and it would have been a 10 MI bike ride after an hour long train ride every day.
My body is ready for trains. I hate airports. However, most people don't want them until they have one. LA is the most recent example I can think of this.
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.
Big cheap plots of land.
