Some More Correlations On Mass Shootings In The United States
2 years ago

It looks like the blue lines are the number of mass shootings.  The orange lines are the number of people killed in those shootings.

Next look at the grey shaded area - that covers the 10 years that the assault ban is in place.  It looks like there was a significant drop in both the number of mass shootings, and the number of people killed.

Lastly, look at the orange shaded area - that covers the Trump years, which show a large increase in both attacks and number of casualties.  I wonder what could possibly account for this increase during those 8 years, other than Trump himself?  Perhaps all those mean tweets had a far greater impact than people realized.  Hate does spread and he certainly made it "okay" to say such things.

Gas Prices Hit Another Record High On Thursday, What's Biden Doing?
2 years ago

While much of this is out of #Biden's control,  Only 3% of our crude actually comes from Russia.  So #Putin's war crimes account for only a small amount of this pricing pressure.

Agreed.  When #Musk opens his mouth, $TSLA's stock price usually takes a hit. He may be "brilliant," but he can still behave like a fool.

Why Are You Smarter Than Elon Musk?
2 years ago

Policing a site like #Twitter or #Facebook is an impossible task since the line between free speech, and hate speech is a very blurry line. 

What is acceptable to some, is abhorent to others.  Spreading lies is wrong, but what if the people who say them are convinced they are true? You will never be able to please everyone.  What on Earth could #Musk possibly do to solve this unsolvable problem?  $TWTR $FB

Isn’t This All We Really Need To Know About Joe Biden?
2 years ago

Putin has gone mad. I doubt he'd do anything different if Biden made fewer gaffes, or if someone else were prez. Besides, the world is a big place, filled with lots of countrie.s Biden is only in charge of one.

Why Didn’t OPEC+ Raise Production Faster?

No, not since 2018.  Reserves are down to only about half a billion.

Tesla Bought Russian Aluminum To Make Body Shells For Model Y
2 years ago

The dates are listed. Looks like Tesla was buying Russian alumninum since 2020, and through February 22nd, which was right before the invasion of Ukraine. 

So the REAL queston is, did Tesla suspend the purchases once Russia invaded? Or are they still buying it.  If they did suspend the orders, then it seems like they clearly knew the aluminum was sourced fromi Russia, but that they are abiding by US sanctions.  $TSLA

Ancient Lessons For Modern Planners
2 years ago

It may not have as much of an impact as you think.  Many companies like #Visa, #Mastercard and #Amex made a big PR splash saying they were cutting off Russia. But if you read the fine print, they simply were not letting people use Russian issued credit card in other countries. They will still work just find in Russia, which means this will have virtually no affect at all.

As for companies like #McDonalds and #Apple, Putin said he may simply nationalize those companies' stores and confiscate all their assets, and continue to run them with Russians in charge!
