October 2024: Musk, MAGA - yea the economy is going to be bad - short term

[4th&long]

Best part is tesla stock feel 16% yesterday. Musk is losing billions and it's his own fault!

WSJ has a nice piece on consumer sentiment. It's paywalled.  basically says low and middle earners are maxed out on credit cards and will likely be forced to slow buying.  Higher earners are concerned about a coming recession and falling stock market...and will likely decrease spending.  Not a good combo.

Trump said he's buying a Tesla this morning. Like him, I just don't think the cars have aged well, much like the Ford Taurus.  Musk lacks a certain sense of style.  But I'm sure Donnie will enjoy driving his Tesla on the greens of Mar-O-Lago.

I don't see anybody restoring a tesla in 50 years.

Let's list closed societies that were/are super successful like Trump is demanding as he tariffs the world that 

1. Japan, pre 1970

2. China pre 1990, communist control

3. Germany pre 1930

4. Russia, oligarchs who control the money, dictators who control descent, and people who are non productive with no opportunity

5. Vietnam, north,  pre 1972, communist

6. North Korea, today, communist

7. Cuba, we don't need anyone else

8. US of A, post 2024? Separating itself from friends and foe. Demeaning countries and their own citizens who descent hmmmm

 

 

[Niagara Bill]

Trump..."Ontario us not allowed to put surcharge on electricity". We have agreements

Trump 10 minutes later "we don't need your energy" that we are putting tariffs on next week.

 

What a flipping joke, a powerful joker, but non the less a joke.

 

Why tell 1 lie when 2 lies are better.

Do you see anyone restoring any car from the last 40 years?

Not for you, apparently. Not a surprise 

 

yes, many. Old bathtub Porsches are lovely. Some of the 50s US cars are works of art. Many, many more.

Yeah, that's why I said the last 40 years.  Meaning 1985 on.

Have you tried carbon wax?  Wasn’t impressed with ceramic but carbon shined better than anything I’ve seen. This looks fantastic.

I see many restored trucks from that era. Vettes, cobras, nissanz z’s, Honda s2000’s, Audi tt’s…just a few of my personal favorites.

A friend owns a car wash. Gave me a free graphex wash to try. I always do brushless but the shine is amazing even on our 9 yo outback. Supposedly lasts a year.

What kind of ceramic coating you using? Can't use that cheap crap from Walmart. Dallas paint coatings has a nice one $200 for a 50 ml bottle.
