Warren Buffett is superior in every way compared to Idiot47. Warren Buffett exposed the top reason for Donald Trump’s business failures long before he became president. What to learn from the mistake

Interesting read, how China has stated what a solid state battery is versus hybrid versus traditional, as stated classification system based on electrolyte type, dividing batteries into liquid, solid liquid hybrid, and solid categories according to ion transport mechanisms China just set the world’s first rules for the “dream battery”—and EVs may never be the same

Interesting, 2026 will be one to watch to see just how the U.S. labor market does. I suspect we will see more contraction. US on verge of unemployment surge that forces Fed to slash rates, Wall Street veteran says

Not surprised by this with Idiot47 tariff tax on Americans that sales have fallen off a cliff and with it made in Germany, not selling at all here. Plus the terrible range due to such a small battery pack. VW’s $60K electric bus dead 12 months after US launch

Funny you mention TV's as I saw the Chinese Hisense TVs at Costco, 98" size for $1,299.99 or direct online their higher performance 98" TV for $1,899.99 compared to Samsung 98" instore for $1,799.99 or their mid-level performance version at $2,199.99 direct or top performance direct for $2,499.99. Now the review for Hisense is mixed compared to much better reviews for Samsung. Also, Korea has a much higher labor cost compared to China. Yet compared to the first flat panel TVs that were over $10,000 for a 40" TV two decades ago, the prices have come down crazy. Gotta say that I am very much interested in one day upgrading to a wall TV.

Talk about crazy weather.

This car proves why American Auto Companies are DEAD MAN WALKING. This is one SEXY EV.

Very interesting read and clearly Tesla is not up to par with the Chinese. Testing was done in Mongolia with -20 temps so the batteries took a major hit, Tesla was around low 30% range with a Tesla 3 RWD having 48% over their normal range where Chinese were around 50% over their normal range. Clearly, Tesla needs to update to at least 800V system and put some engineering into their battery packs. Sadly no Korean EVs were in the test mix. The Newest Mercedes CLA was and really took a hit for being the newest 800V system, sad that the battery system sucks so bad. 67 EVs Were Range-Tested In Sub-Zero Conditions. Here's Where The Teslas Ranked Story is based on this posted YouTube video. This cracks me up, so much great Karma to these crooks, amazing that one of them has a CyberTruck and was putting it in the frunk when it blew up.

Interesting read. Rivian CEO: Apple CarPlay is never coming, and here’s why Good to see this blow up in Idiot47s face and the lemmings he put in charge that have no clue what they are doing. Trump administration suffers legal blow over CFPB funding

Really hope he has to sit in prison. OUCH - I truly believe that the U.S. will be like China in 3 to 5 years and EREV will have a short life. Everybody's Betting On Extended-Range EVs. This Could Make Them Obsolete Instead

Proof that what GM is doing here is bad for America, Death of manufacturing, the support of supply train and that Idiot47 has not understood or figured out. Tariff threats clearly are a FAILURE for America.

WOW, Boeing moving manufacturing to Canada. Hope this gives him a heart attack and goes 6 ft under. WOW, Idiot47 world is collapsing and I hope he takes a dirt nap. Further proof that Idiot47 is clueless in how to run a business let alone a country.

WOW, this is big and clearly Idiot47 and his administration have lost big time.
