Tesla's Stock Plunges

GM CEO at the end of the video was not forthright about the eventual rise in prices by not wanting to link it to the tariffs.  Donald J. Trump threatens not to raise the prices for the consumers to eat it and to definitely not blame the tariffs.  He warned Walmart for that 2-3 months ago. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-walmart-prices-tariffs-response/ https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-warns-walmart-eat-tariffs-instead-raising-prices By GM not admitting that prices will rise BECAUSE of tariffs is PURE COWARDICE!!! You gotta stand up...  Everybody gotta stand up.   Businesses and civilians alike.  But a GM CEO makes plenty of money, he/she dont care what a particular political leader does or does not do...  It is the little guy that pays the price.   The video talks about many OEMs having theor profits slashed by a significant amount.  I was shocked with Toyota's loss of profits as well as GM's.  I want to surprised with Ford's results.  But lets keep in mind those are figures for Q2.  By year's end, lots of panick for those same CEOs not wanting to fight back the tariffs loud, proud and publicly...  The sales prices WILL go up regardless if CEOs want to admit reasons are tariffs.  These CEOs better hope that American citizens have deep pockets and are capable of absorbing yet another price hike on yet another product.  And for how long can these deep pockets of these very very rich average American Joes last?   But I keep on hearing that average Americans do not monies for groceries.  And wasnt Biden fired from his Presidency because the price of eggs were sky high even BEFORE the tariffs and Donald J. Trump himself? Ah yes...yes... I kinda remember something like that...

The economy is tanking, for real.   

Right now, states and even cities can institute Ranked Choice voting, but it might only be for certain elections.  Zohran won the primary for NYC mayor partially because of RCV.   But that's only NYC. State level elections are the traditional sort, you pick between two parties or you throw away your vote on a 3rd party.  In the general election in NYC in the fall, voters are going to get to choose between 4 candidates, the current Mayor Adams (running as an independent this time), former governor Cuomo (was running for the democratic nomination, lost to Zohran, now running as an independent), Zorhan Mamdami who won the RCV democratic primary, and a no-name republican nutjob who will lose. My position is that all elections, whether for president or dog-catcher, need to be ranked choice and every race should have a box for "none of the above".  If I interpreted your question wrong and you don't understand how RCV works, Balletopedia has an explainer and video on ranked choice voting. 

I'm sorry, but can you dumb this down even more for me? I feel like I understood the rest of what you said, but this line goes over my head. 

We could do it with one simple change to the constitution, all other changes would flow from that. We need an amendment for ranked choice voting required in every election, even dog-catcher. Also the elimination of the primary elections. This will do several things.  1. It will stop extremist from both sides getting elected unless a true majority of the voters want it. The primary system is the primary cause of the extremism we've been seeing.  Only the lunatics can make it through their party's primaries and the sane, sober "boring" people don't get soundbites or traction. 2. It opens up the door for 3rd parties to make a real go of it. Ranked choice, even in just the general election, would likely have changed the outcome of 2016 and 2024.  Once the sane people are back in charge, we could look at things like breaking up monopolies/oligarchies and retiring the Electoral College.
