JP Morgan has slashed its target price for Tesla stock to $120. Who knew that alienating Europe, Canada, Mexico, ANZO, and the half of the US most likely to buy EVs would backfire?

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

I started reading Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr. and it turns out the reason he wrote that book was because he had intended to become a lawyer like his father and while he was at Harvard he got measles and it screwed up his vision so badly that he couldn't read or study anymore

I'm watching the Conclave (2024) movie, and there is one thing that briefly took me out of the story: the Cardinal in pectore of Kabul. In real life, they are ineligible for participation, as their appointment expires with the Pope unless they are publicly named cardinals beforehand.

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I'm rewatching The Wire. A character in the episode I'm watching says, "A lie ain't a side of the story. It's just a lie." For some reason, that speaks to me these days (as do a million other lines from the show.)

if sauron congratulates you for doing the right thing you fucked up

Out of curiosity, I checked the P/E ratios of Tata, Honda, Hyundai, Ford, GM, Fiat Chrysler, BYD, and Tesla. With 2 outliers, they were from 6.5-8. BYD? 15 or so, but they're growing. Tesla? Over 100. That's insane.

Trump Recession Timeline: 1. This will be a Golden Age on Day 1! Prices will come down and economy will boom! 2. These policies won’t cause a recession. We know what we’re doing. 3. Ok, it will cause short-term pain but will be good in long term. 4. This is Biden’s recession!

Re: the tariffs, as an American, we deserve what's coming. I remember my friends. I remember how they have helped us in incredibly dark times. I remember Canadian electricians and Mexican doctors helping after Katrina and in so many other cases. They are dear friends, and we are betraying them.
