I don’t mind tariffs on china. Stop the ones on our friends.

I keep wondering about aptera. They are just getting their production ready model going and I can’t help but think if they don’t have production to far setup in california they would be smarter to do it in ireland. The carbon fiber body comes from europe and the batteries from asia. So evern if they build it in the us it will suffer tariffs for like 2/3rds of the cost or higher and it will effect everything sold everywhere. If they built it in ireland then it would be way cheaper everywhere but the us and the us cost would not be all that much higher than it would be if they built it here. I assume anything else with such a diverse supply chain would be effected similarly. Like boeing vs airbus.

it this is a dip yes, if its something that keeps going over the course of a few years like 2008 or the great depression then no but whoever trades outside of market times has been rather negative for the last week.

I don’t see one unless our society because less dependent on bullshit and honors privacy. I don’t know about anyone else but I constantly bullshit specifics about myself on line to dirty up any data collected on me.

aughts were not bad but it was falling and once we got in the teens ugh. oh and old man thing the pre www was advertisement free which was awesome.

Many large companies and unions have their own credit unions that are quite large

will be interesting to see when the 2025 map comes out.

I live in a place with no gas connection. Used to be a big negative for the complex but I was happy to not have it. Association does not allow gas or charcoal grills either. feels safer.

Im noticing a pattern in the us where after hours the big money pulls out and then during the trading day the chumps buy the dip.

yeah and his response to protests were on how social security is safe with him. he says a lot of things he thinks folks want to hear.

yeah its really more a factor of size. The small banks and credit unions pretty much can’t do much but work within the system at hand and hopefully leverage their localness to know their customers better and do something to make it a better experience. Large is what controls the rules (I mean it should be an impartial government making the rules. Like independent agencies or something).

if trump gets the uk back in the eu at least something good would have come of it.

I agree somewhat. I feel your distances are a bit short. I had a 3 mile commute which is just a bit shy 5 kilometers and I actually would do a 4 mile detour because otherwise it was just to short. It was a nice walk though. So your high end to me is just about where it gets nice and for anyone not in poor shape I would say it could go double so 10-20 kilometers. It could be im in some super great shape but I really doubt that. The basic idea I get though as I know I had this real long one that was like 25 kilometers. I did it for bike to work week but going both ways and man I was on the couch with my legs hurting. It was a great commute if I went in the morning when it was cooler and the commute was mostly flat but in that direction it was a bit more downhill overall and then where Im at I could bring my bike on a train to get back. So for me it would be about 20 kilometers for the e-bike. I actually have sorta wanted to get one because im getting old.

Answer is always the same. Infrastructure. I had stopped riding my bike when I went to college as everything was walkable and when I got work it was far enough away I had to get a car. Later in life I had a situation where I could bike and a bike culture was growing in my city and I started to do it. Once I had I wondered why I had not started sooner. I eventually reailized the bike lanes I used had only just been put into place a few years before I started biking and like my wife would not bike without a protected bike lane with physical barriers. The more infrastructure lends itself to walking and cycling the more walking and cycling will take place.

yeah basically the word of mouth and community networks will become ads and you will get things like leave five stars and get some shit with tell your friends and get some shit.

They are dying and getting debilitating health issues from this shit, and honestly, I think that’s in the interest of the greater good.

it is not a help to anyone to have more disable maga. there are plenty already.

I mean cali is about double NY but add in a few other blue states like illinois, washington, new jersey, massachusetts, and colorado and you will have more than doubled cali. and even though other blue states may not be as big any additions help make for a more robust pool. The big problem is people going to red states while young and healthy and then going to blue states if they get ill.

Yeah its like just having a nice little relaxing smoke of crack. I mean its not blue peter.

Its worldwide and it all comes down to wealth disparity. Just look at the disparity in even the top ten or 100 lists of wealthiest people and corporations. Musk is like double the person below him most of the time. That is why he can fuck things every which way and stay on top. The numbers are insane. Over a hundred people for people and market caps in trillions for corps while regular folks are trying to get by and thousandaires.
