Why would Tesla absorb anyone? I doubt Elon sees much value in most of the facilities and legacy (union) people. And 10 years? Really???

I've never gathered that Tesla prioritizes customer service/satisfaction. Quite the opposite, actually.

Momo just completely on fire.

I'm on work travel up north and hadn't heard the news. I left work late, around midnight, and mapped myself to an open eatery someone at my host site recommended. Google maps came up with the route and then said, "Your route may be impacted by a tsunami warning". :unsure:

Waymo toxic, you say?

Is the 2nd statement not the result of the 1st statement? How do you truly teach self-sufficiency and foment ambition if you're "sharing resources"?

The question touches on the paradox of family wealth. Poor parents raise hungry kids who do well and then have kids of their own who are never hungry, and then they or their kids go broke. Often there's a middle class generation too between poor and rich. Can you truly teach someone the value...

My point was more about the rising difficulty with making it in the world overall vs an individual's particular situation. If anything your parents probably support my point. Even ignoring political immigration barriers, could your parents have gotten as far if they immigrated here today, not...

I am just shocked you got to speak to an actual live human being. It's too long ago for me to remember the specifics, but when my daughter was born I had a similar clusterfuge of a time getting paid out for parental leave.

I'm expecting 5+ year old trusts to help protect the assets, but you're right, that's a big consideration. At some point state laws regarding such matters might play a factor in where we retire.

I don't for a second believe that a young person today can work just as hard as I did and likely achieve what I achieved financially, any more than I could have worked just as hard as my father and have a house and a family on a single salary like he had, with a golden lifetime pension to boot...

You're not into the beaver bucktooth styling? At least prior refreshes allowed you to trace the visual lineage. This is a bit too much.

Absolutely just f'ing nailed that swing. Congrats again Momo! I bit a few days too early, but right there with you. Helps a bit to take the sting off BRK from the past month.

You got your wish!

Revenue? No. People like to say that costco gets its profit from membership fees, but that's just how the numbers happen to size up. They're still subject to the same laws of economic physics as anyone else. If COGS goes up, profit goes down, all else being equal. They'll have to push...
