I had a business lunch today, crazy the prices to eat out. My boss and another manager both had a $29.99 french dip. I had a $22.99 Chicken fried steak and 2 eggs with hashbrowns. The rep who took us had a $32.99 Steak and 2 eggs for lunch. Not cheap eating out and folks have wondered why there is not more places to eat around where I work. Prices make it crazy to eat out if you're having to pay. Cheaper to get pre-made food at Business Costco and eat for 2 weeks compared to one meal out.

Eggs prices here are up 52%, definitely not going down and I doubt they will.

I have friends from all walks of life and the one thing I have always said is that Education is the great equalizer in that for most people with common sense, it allows people of different viewpoints to discuss in a civil manner and agree to disagree while finding common road to live peacefully side by side with each other and respectful of our laws and constitution. These crazy folks seem to think they are above the law as if they are part of the 144,000 that are going to be with Jesus Christ in Heaven ruling over the earth. Truly crazy.............

WOW, this is a Symbolism of pushing a narrow-minded agenda on all. This is a very scary way to uphold the Constitution. So many valid points he makes here. I wonder just what the education level is of these folks, as it screams of ignorance.

This is to be expected, the chicken or the Egg, which comes first? In this case, everyone loves the EV9, but the charging experience is an issue for road trips due to unreliable charging which is not unexpected as ICE turds seem to think it is funny to block charging stalls or to cut cables.

No Surprise here Elon Musk is doing everything conspiracy theorists accuse George Soros of Another Interesting read. The real reason Trump is waging a global trade war

Good Read on What Tariffs are and how they affect the consumer. Trump’s Tariffs Are a Gift to Capital, Not Workers

Interesting Read Elon Musk shocks the world with government office changes I am also finding that looking at videos that are a negative about Musk, Trump and the whole mess in DC on YouTube and other places especially if they are from outside the US posting are now being blocked. Seems Google is onboard with the ideology of #47. Seem employees to Senior Managers at Tesla are now wanting Musk to Resign and leave the company before he damages it any more. Insiders at Tesla Concerned That Musk's Madness Is Damaging Company, Saying It Would Be Better If He Just Resigned

Cool new Patents that make the battery pack a part of the Unibody design. Hyundai And Kia Patent Structural Battery OUCH, this will hurt those MAGA states.

Bad News: Tariffs have raised prices to where folks are having to cut back on what they spend money on such as junk food. Good News: Seems America will finally loose those extra Junk Food pounds.

Interesting to watch these videos of folks that have saved and are able to retire, I wonder what the locals think of the alien invasion of folks moving there to live in retirement?

All of North America is going to Hurt due to the Stupid Tariffs and Idiot47 keeps saying the moron who signed the new NAFTA was wrong to sign it, DOH Trump signed it. USMCA: Trump wants to renegotiate his own trade deal | CNN Politics 🤪 That would mean those states would have to give up the Green back for the Loonie and I am not sure how all those people would feel about having to embrace the Loonie. Please do respond, we promise to embrace you even if you do not agree with our viewpoint on the craziness of North America. This is what is called freedom of speech, you will not be censored, we just ask that you avoid profanity and be respectful to agree to disagree.

I honestly think Honda would have pushed out rebadges of Honda's as Nissan and Mitsubishi auto's. Honda would have taken the Nissan and Mitsubishi body on frame trucks / SUVs to use that for better versions across all 3 lines, but I agree with you Olds, there is a high chance that Honda would have been eventually pulled down. Will be interesting to see how the EV version for Honda and Acura continues to do in 2025 as they are selling all they make right now.

WOW, this is very interesting Manhattan US Attorney Resigns After Order to Drop Adams Case

The problem is that both Nissan and Mistubishi are just about out of money. No matter the marketing message of X amount of new ICE and EV models coming over the next 3 years, they are out of money to develop them and their arrogance of poor management will cause them to crash. Honda actually had more to loose taking them on as it would have benefited everyone but no one wants to bow to a new master.

Very interesting, will see if any common sense happens in DC. Canada’s Premiers Tell White House They’re Needed to Help Trump’s Economic Agenda

Chevrolet has revealed ahead of the DAYTONA 500 the Chevrolet Blazer EV.R prototype which is an example of their dedication to test, and explore new technologies as they learn how to apply the technology to both racing and production version auto's. Chevrolet has been a leading contender in NASCAR with proven V8 technology as they pushed to continually look for better ways to improve power, durability, and efficiency in then transfering that knowledge back to production vehicles that show up in the showroom. The Blazer EV.R prototype delivers 1,300 horsepower from three six-phase electric motors that instantly rev up to 15,000 rpms, power with a 78-kWh liquid-cooled battery pack. Blazer EV.R is built on NASCAR's Next Gen chassis and suspension componentry. The EV.R transmits the power via a programmable AWD system with Good Year Racing Eagle tires. This auto is inspired by the Blazer EV SS, a production vehicle that will be the pace EV at DAYTONA 500 2025. The Blazer SS EV will have 615 horsepower with a 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Testing the Blazer EV.R prototype was Justin Allgaier, Team Chevy Driver of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Champion. To quote Allgaier: “There are so many things you don’t think about until you’re in the car actually testing it. I’m used to knowing my speed through gearing and listening to engine revs, so I had to totally change how I judge corner entry speed. With this platform we’re learning how to strategically adjust regenerative braking, which has a big impact on braking sections and cornering balance." To quote the press release: “This program was a great opportunity with NASCAR to design a new crossover utility vehicle body and bring forward design elements from our Blazer EV SS,” said Phil Zak, executive director, Chevrolet Global Design. “The EV.R prototype offers lower and wider proportions and was designed with aerodynamics and performance in mind.” With Testing done at this point, GM and NASCAR wanted to show off the auto at the upcoming DAYTONA 500 where one can find the Blazer EV.R on display in NASCAR livery.   View full article

This is more true than anyone realizes now. Today, the team I am on was talked to as folks in the company had complained that we west coast TME's were disrespectful to the current president and were wanting certain folks dead all due to some British humor and just joking that I thought would be nothing but that, but now I see, freedom of speech is dead among MAGA people. America Democracy is in a fragile state with the lemming GOP just following the current administration off a cliff.

OMG

WOW, Both just lie with no thought to integrity. Billions found in waste and no evidence to prove it. This just proves the millions spent on DOGE with Tax payer money is a WASTE. Trump Humiliated in the ‘Most Powerless Image Ever’ of a U.S. President: O’Donnell Rock on Pop, You NAILED IT!!! JD Vance is a FAILURE! Pope Francis takes apart JD Vance's false 'Christian' logic in impassioned letter This is not surprising, Trump kicked off Inflation due to his stupid Tariffs during Trump 1.0, Now in Trump 2.0 and after Biden had finally started to get Inflation going down, Idiot47 has had it jump 3% in January alone. Eggs up 53%, Beef up 5%, Bacon up 6% in January alone. Core index shows inflation has jumped 3.3% since Idiot47 took office. Inflation increased in January, posing obstacle for Trump tariff plans Yup Microsoft caved in also and their map says the same stupid thing. Doing a bing search or google search, both search engines say that for US folks, we will see Gulf of America, for Mexico, they will see Gulf of Mexico and for the rest of the world they will see Gulf of Mexico / Gulf of America

FYI - If you have not been out to Social Security lately to check your benefits, it would be wise to do so and download your latest statement to ensure you have the details. You never know when a computer glitch could affect the details. The United States Social Security Administration | SSA Also, they now have two new ways to log into any and all government agencies, so if you used to have an SS account, you can still use it, but it is going away this year, so you might as well choose one of the new universal logins to get setup.

WOW, such a sad excuse for our country. I agree that I doubt this will really happen as double jeopardy will happen. Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioters Get Bad News Pathetic Trump, joined by Musk in Oval Office, orders up big cuts in federal workforce This is too funny from a tech standpoint, Musk who is not that smart, might have setup a 100,000 GPU with moving GPU's from Tesla to his Ai startup, but they do not seem to be doing much with it, so now they want to buy OpenAI. I agree that Musk is NOT a happy person. Sam Altman doesn’t think Elon Musk is ‘a happy person’ Sad that INFLATION is about to jump through the roof due to the Stupidity of the current administration and the Lemmings he put in place that are loyal to him but ignorant of how to really do the jobs they took on. The impact of Trump's tariffs is already being felt

Unbelievable the problems in safety to humans and the Idiots / Lemmings in office want to reduce it so it kills more.
