No one escapes the restocking fee!

Wholly agreed, however I’m not expecting sweeping changes in the first year. The more interesting news to me is whether or not we’ll have locally produced cars made here, but it’ll likely be a number of years before that begins.

This is such a misleading take. When I think of affordability, Lotus is not even in the postal code of ideas. Call us when the official BYD numbers roll out.

TMTG is also active in financial services, and the company announced US$2.5 billion in funding a year ago to invest in cryptocurrencies, one of Trump’s recent passions.

According to its filing, TMTG generated US$900,000 in revenue during the first quarter, a paltry amount for a company valued at US$2.47 billion on the stock market.

And suspiciously interesting,

TMTG said in December that it is merging with the American company TAE, which is developing nuclear fusion technology.

Claundering?

If there was one car brand (other than Toyota) that could make EVs more affordable and accessible to the masses, it would be Honda. An electric Civic would sell like crazy.

I’m surprised the Ask Jeeves brand never became an AI chatbot.

So long as the house wasn’t built on an ancient aboriginal burial site, I might be able to look the other way.

*Cue They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard* 😎🥳🤘

Don’t forget about that environmental fee

Pretty sure at least someone lost the commission on their $28.9 million sale.

Imagine having to navigate an Imperialist senile narcissist lunatic threatening invasion at your doorstep and simultaneously holding the global economy hostage, and then having Poilievre gnawing at your ankles.

We all knew it was coming, but what a time to pass the baton. Good luck, John.

I originally interpreted the lyrics as a view of commodified education where the prerequisite for a lot of jobs nowadays require a degree or two just to get past the AI review process.

I didn’t mean to come off as knocking the pursuit of higher education. I mean I probably deserve it quoting a Kanye song! My wife has applied for her Masters next year, and I’m looking into the process of upgrading my advanced diploma into a degree myself. It just makes me laugh with frustration at how the ladder for success keeps adding rungs the higher you climb it.

This sort of reminds me of that Kanye West School Spirit Skit about learning:

You keep it going man, you keep those books rolling 
You pick up those books you’re going to read 
And not remember, and you roll man 
You get that associate’s degree, okay 
Then you get your bachelor’s, then you get your master’s 
Then you get your master’s masters 
Then you get your doctorate

You go man, and then when everybody says quit 
You show them those degrees man 
When everybody says, "hey, you’re not working 
“You’re not making any money” 
You say, “look at my degrees and you look at my life 
Yeah, I’m 52, so what?”

Hate all you want 
But I’m smart, I’m so smart, and I’m in school 
These guys are out here, huh 
Making money all these ways, and I’m spending mine to be smart 
You know why? 
Because when I die, buddy 
You know what’s gonna keep me warm? 
That’s right, those degrees

There’s actually a term for this kind of behaviour. It’s called a desire path.

And sell it at a loss, I presume?

So it’s ok to charge more if you look rich? Why eat the rich when you can fleece ‘em?
