    Elon taking over Twitter??

    The old saying still goes. "Money talks, B.S. walks". I just worry that people I know that thought he was evil, are not rooting for him because of the possibility of him doing what they agree with. It's not his money. It's investors money.

    Taxes.

    This year was a nightmare. I made more money last year than I ever have. I also paid more taxes than I ever have. Uncle went easy. Indiana rejected my return three times. When it finally went through, my taxes were still high, but were about 50% lower than the firs time I sent my return in. Now...

    Electric vehicles

    It depends on the composition of the battery. When the roller board that you stand on came out, the lithium ion battery's sometimes would catch fire. Really fast and hot fire. Guess what most electric car drive batteries are?

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    Well, yes and no. The SEC has rules that investors have to follow. This is a play to get around the rules. That's why it's called a "Hostile" take over. A lot of money is going to lawyers and the small investors, such as your 401K fund manager is getting it in the shorts. Do it right, and you...

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    18-24 month lags in the economy is a historical trend. It's not a rule. Prior to around 1840, the United States didn't have much of a currency system. As much foreign currency was in use as American. The Whig part defeated the Democrats that year. When Harrison won. Van Buren was hammered by the...

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    I have said before and will repeat it again. I am an American. Regardless of what I think of the person in the office, I support the OFFICE of President of the United States. Even though I was disappointed with him, I supported Trump when he was in office. I support Biden, even though I have...

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    When you enter public life, whether as a political candidate, or you seek out celebrity, you have NO expectation of privacy. Period. This is settled law. Long before he ran for President, he looked for attention in the public eye. If you look around, you'll find pictures of him hanging out with...

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    There is an 18 to 24 month lag between an administration change and economic change due to policy changes. It has historically been like this since the 1840's, when we were finally getting a robust economy that wasn't dependent on foreign currency. Like pieces of 8. (Spanish Rial) Yes, there...

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    Musk may not be able to buy Twitter since his pffer wasn't a legal offer. Twitter can probably just ignore it. He's done lots of things like that over the years.

    Taxes.

    Canada, at least while Her Majesty the Queen still lives, is part of the United Kingdom. I'm sure there are other taxes you don't know about that you are paying. In the U.S., the speed limit is what is on the sign. In Britain, I don't know about Canada, the police can drop the speed limit...

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    Not really, they have initiated a "poison pill" strategy. The SEC regulates stock transactions. This takes advantage of controls put in place after the 1929 stock market crash. There were more regulations, aimed at the crash in 2006, but those were repealed in 2018.

    Elon taking over Twitter??

    The Capitalist Bible is Liberal? Nope. Keep in mind that WSJ is owned by NewsCorp. They also own Fox News. The WSJ is where the really rich people get their news. They are not liberal. A few are maybe, but mostly staid, conservative investors read the WSJ. Calling them Liberal is just touting a...

    Who gets the ticket?

    I'm not a fan of nanny systems as I feel they make drivers lazy. I actually LIKE to drive. Tesla has had a bunch of wrecks on auto pilot. What about self driving cars? Who gets the ticket and who gets arrested for fleeing police?
