This is EPI, manipulating data to generate public outrage is all they do.

Picking the 350 largest companies which have grown immensely due to globalization is the exact kind of misleading analysis I expected from EPI.

How about a simple exercise of CEO compensation per employee? As in take the CEO's TC and divide it among the total number of employees. I bet you that number has gone down, not up.

This is how you end up with a company in a death spiral because no one wants to work for nothing.

I'll take "things that didn't happen for $400".

Salary cuts almost never happen like this, layoffs are preferred.

He didn't get to keep the money lol.

The average non-luxury new vehicle transaction price is $44,288. This excludes all luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes etc.

New cars are pretty expensive these days. A Toyota Sienna is a $50k car once you put on a few options.

>For the month of October, a month in which luxury sales accounted for almost 20% of all sales. Seems a bit disproportionate.

It's been over $48k for the entire year, it was over $47k last year.

>Also , it seems like currently there is an over representation of trucks being purchased which add expense (business right off?)

Nah, Americans just love big unnecessary trucks whilst complaining about gas prices. 🤷‍♂️

Anyways my point is $27.5k for a small electric SUV isn't high, especially since there are federal and state rebates.

I picked them up from actual statistics about new vehicle transactions. Where did you get your facts from? Your own ass?

Bolt EUV is $27.5k. Btw the average new vehicle price today is $50k.

It's readily obvious that the Chinese military is incapable of any large scale offensives. It hasn't invested into the massive scale logistics required for such a task and its military procurement is focused on increasing its technology base rather than deployment.

There's constantly stories about this new Chinese weapon or that new Chinese weapon, but how many of these new weapons do they actually buy? Compare how many J-20s China has to how many F-35s the US is buying and you have your answer.

Not to mention every now and then the PLA actually gets deployed for disaster relief and so far its been a logistical shit show. They couldn't even feed their troops and the troops had to rely on locals for food.

Lol you just described 19th and early 20th century America. One of our greatest heroes and one of Britain's greatest villains is Samuel Slater who stole a bunch of British technology for America. Until after WW1(and for some technologies WW2), the flow of technology was pretty much one way from Europe to the US. Americans stole, cheated, and bought their way into technological dominance. Helped by the two massive wars fought in Europe and the Nazis getting rid of all their top scientific minds.

> Samuel Slater (June 9, 1768 – April 21, 1835) was an early English-American industrialist known as the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution" (a phrase coined by Andrew Jackson) and the "Father of the American Factory System". In the UK, he was called "Slater the Traitor"

Robbery is probably the best one to use because it's an inherently public act.

>I think here, where I live, the cops training takes minimum of three years.

Press X to doubt.

This is literally basic biology, water is three quarters of muscle mass. You're buying raw meat, not beef jerky.

DeSantis literally just vetoed the new net metering bill that the utilities companies including Duke Energy wanted.

Lol imagine trusting in a Tesla warranty when they had to be sued to remove defective solar panels they installed on Walmart roofs because they kept catching fire.

This is a problem specific to Tesla tho, the other companies are generally much more reliable.

The $1/watt includes all of those.

Rooftop solar is by far the most expensive option. The installation costs way more and the equipment does as well.

Nothing in your post is even remotely the truth.

1. Power companies use renewable energy sources themselves. They don't like rooftop solar with feed in tariffs because you're not paying for transmission costs. Generation is only one part of the total cost of electricity. Plus utilities profit is highly regulated.

2. Insurance companies do not care about your rooftop solar unless it makes it more expensive for them in the event of a claim such as in areas with frequent storm damage.

Solar works great in the US in areas that support it. And contrary to your claim, it's the solar lobby that has the upper hand over the utilities companies. In California for example, all new construction homes are required to have solar, and natural gas is scheduled to be banned on new homes starting next year.

The point is this cat isn't a real domestic cat, but rather a hybrid with a wild cat.

$500 is about the cost of an auto broker who finds the car you want and negotiate a deal for you. And often they have pre-negotiaged deals with specific volume dealers.

This is maybe a couple hours of work per client at the most. Compare it to negotiating a hospital bill which could take tens of hours.

If Wandering Earth is a "propaganda film" then so is The Martian.

Lol imagine getting your information from YouTubers who make a living off appealing to a certain demographic.

>Have you been paying attention at all? He's stating that Turkey fought the Russian military and won, and implied this makes them a valuable partner.

Where in this entire quote do you see any thing of the sort?

> Turkey in nato is a disgrace , fake coup and imprisoning polical opponents a while ago ; supporting both Russia and Ukraine , extorting eu with refugees , illegally occupying part of Cyprus . As EU there’s only 1 thing to do, impose heavy taxes on flights to Turkey killing their tourism and abandoning double nationalities. Just show some teeth instead of being erdogans slave. Europe can destroy the Turkish economy so easily.

Quote specifically where he says Turkey fought Russia and won and this makes them a valuable partner.

>Beating up the Russian military is slightly less impressive in 2022 than it was in 2021. The Russian military sucks shit.

What the fuck are you even on about?

Did you miss the entire context?

He claimed Turkey supports Russia when Turkey literally fought a mini-war against Russia a couple years ago.

>supporting both Russia and Ukraine

There is only one NATO country that has directly fought Russia lately, and it's Turkey when they smashed half the Syrian army alongside their Russian advisors.
