Yes, eventually it ends when you’re promoted to middle management and you have to forage for granola bars and cookies during the few seconds you get between meetings. Stay an IC for as long as you can.

Don’t stop. The popular vote isn’t enough, and Trump is still a slight favorite to win.

People don’t buy Trump stock because of the company’s portfolio and performance, they buy because:

  • it’s a cult / meme stock
  • it’s a way to donate to Trump
  • Speculation

That business could have been a lemonade stand run by 8 year olds, and the stock performance would’ve looked exactly the same.

The “affordable” seems to have been in relation to the ex30 full EV, which is $35k USD. Pretty low price point for an EV, or a Volvo.

Q: Is your favorite band suing Trump?

A: Probably.

It’s like conservatives heard the “too many trees close together” part about our wild fire problem, then proceeded to stop listening to anything else scientists had to say on the topic.

Volvo has taken a slightly different tack to most other automakers as it electrifies its product range. Where most would start off with a big and expensive electric vehicle first, it did the opposite, starting out with small and affordable. That means it's now time for a flagship EV, an all-new three-row SUV called the EX90, which we've driven ahead of US deliveries toward the end of this year.

I would argue that they did the exact same thing that a lot of others have done, start expensive then figure out how to scale / lower prices. But Volvo / Geely sold those cars under different brand banners like Polestar and Zeeker.

Also, at least for the US, the ex30 is stuck in limbo since it’s manufactured in China and about to get hit with 100% import tariffs.

Mainly through fixes to long-troubled loan relief initiatives, the Biden administration has now approved nearly $169 billion in loan forgiveness for roughly 4.8 million people.

Its new plan is expected to reach at least 25 million more people.
