Yeah…but at least the Chinese don’t get the data?..(Sarcasm)

It’s what happens when you cut education for the past 30-50years and take curiosity out of learning.

Ram has the ram charger coming in 2026 that has this concept and also scout has a couple models as well launching in 2027. Wish BYD wasn’t banned in the US as they have a couple models as well. Hoping to see some more as we do wait for battery tech and charging to continue to improve.

Most economists I was reading when trump put the tariffs on in April said those would happen as it worked through the supply chain most likely by Q4. He just started and paused it near the start of a month so there lagging data shows favorable. The larger companies had the cash flow to front load incoming inventory and the smaller companies got hit hard. Now that companies have burned through initial stock and tariffs are being figured for a 10-20% baseline instead of being removed completely prices will go up. No company is going to eat that much in additional cost and now that things are set companies will plan accordingly. Aug should see a rise in inflation since tariffs kicked in Aug 4 and you’ve already seen companies say prices will rise because of tariffs.

Feels like a cozying up to trump looking for a tariff exemption by doing this too, right?

Man I hope advertising gets scaled back. The marketing campaign spend some of these companies have is astronomical for little return. Just makes it seem like America can only actually produce ads.

“How could Joe Biden do this to us!” Person exclaims after GOP controls the house, Senate and executive branch.

Tipped staff as a percent of the workforce is very small. If I read his proposal correct it’s tips anywhere rather than a specific industry as well. That means in my mind a lawyer could say this is my rate that’s really low and then I have an option for a Tip. While the tip has to be voluntary it would be hard for the IRS to prove if it was agreed upon prior. So it could be really manipulated rather than help a larger percentage of people. Simply raising minimum wage or expand the standard deduction would go further I’d think.

Just like when he promised to donate to end world hunger to the world food bank and then backed out.

Unfortunately, a majority of comments I’ve seen online on that interview say Harris couldn’t stop talking about trump or couldn’t answer any question she was asked. Absolutely amazing to me the difference here.

It’s funny to me that the Trump ticket is pushing this they are for the everyman and against elites…they are the elites. You can’t get more elite than a billionaire and silicon valley VC guy.

I doubt down ballot canidates are getting much monetary support either bc Lara trump being installed ensues all money goes to Don.

You can go back even to 2016 where he was laying the ground work to say he didn’t lose to Hilary and then he won and I think it shocked him a bit. He’s always been like this though across everything.

You are correct on multiple things. it’s all bathrooms and I, as a normal American, don’t care.

Just funny to watch the straw grasping here from the GOP to attack rather than actually have a policy plan.

The issue is they are twisting it and saying they forced schools to put them in boys bathrooms to ramp up the transphobia.

They are doing a project in Vegas to do a loop, but it only holds Tesla’s… So maybe close?

I think speak for everyone when I say… We all hate how long the us election news cycle is

Eastern Oregon is also going through a bunch of fires so itll be interesting to see if some pull out of Oregon too.

Wish that this wasn’t happening now and it was more of a discussion months ago, but both parties doubled down on their aging candidates. Hoping the disinformation campaigns can be overcome though and Dems are successful bc plan 47/project 2025 legit terrify me.
