    A GM's failure is a Tesla's opportunity. That's how it's supposed to work.

    I was a journalism major in high school and college for a couple of years. Whenever we went to AP Seminars or press gatherings, the USA Today contingent were always the equivalent to the "Short Bus" school crowd. The La Times and SF Chronicle people would laugh and call them the "McPaper" because of their style and content. Now that was before the print officially died and the Murdoch model of editorializing became popular in American media, but I still think they hold true to the same fast food style of journalism. Quick, dirty, and easy to digest.

    I almost can't believe what people watch these days. I caught 5 minutes of access Hollywood or whatever the one with Slater from Saved by the Bell is on. Someone offered Kanye and Kim K 5 million dollars for baby pictures.

    On what fucking planet are we on that baby pictures are worth 5 million dollars?

    I mostly agree with you, but Tesla's stock dropped because they literally weren't producing cars fast enough to keep up with the demand for them.

    The government gave thousands of $dollars in rebates to rich people who could afford the cars.

    Tesla is now making a $35K car that is affordable for the masses, though not for people making little money.

    You can lease one of those for $1500 down and $250/mo.

    Only an apple owner would believe his magical crapple product appriciates like real estate. Maybe its because crapple owns the real estate in their head that was once used for thinking.

    My paycheck today is another $90 more than my last one in 2017. That is, $110 more, total. My first paycheck was only $20 more.

    That is awesome. I bet if you look deep into HCP's eye you'll see an apple logo.

    And a Lakers logo
