  1. Bumping this thread. I have to go to Honolulu in 2 weeks for a business trip with like 20 clients. It's only for 2 days and we have to stay on Waikiki beach at the Sheraton. Any good local places to eat (both fancy and local stuff like Poke)? I figure we can do Pearl Harbor. Any other recs? I am renting a car but not sure if I need it.
  2. This is exactly correct. My son's college age friends come around and sometimes we end up talking politics. These are smart kids and are a mix of races and religions (African American, Hispanic, Indian, Korean, Jewish, etc...) and many of them site things they see on the internet as truth when it's just right-wing propaganda. Good kids but they have zero clue what they are talking about but believe it's the truth. Some of these kids voted for Trump for this reason and it is crazy and quite sad. The public education system in this country has failed us (done on purpose by the GOP to keep the rubes in line).
  3. Guessing this screws Tesla/Musk in the European markets
  4. Is this your glass half empty or glass half full view? The truth is we may be just a few years away from a Jim Jones Kool Aid incident that takes out half the country.
  5. You know, I don't know what everyone else on this board thinks, but I am starting to think you aren't much of an optimist.
  6. And its down again.
  7. Feeling a little bit lucky when it comes to my 401K. My company was sold last week to another company so I am in the process of rolling my entire 401K to a personal account meaning I took it out last week. I haven’t gotten the money yet to move to my personal account so I basically avoided the shit show of that last few days. Now as far as my other investments, yeah they got destroyed just like everybody else.
  8. Look at the bright side. When the next pandemic hits we will have so little resources put into the CDC, vaccines, healthcare, science, etc... that there is a good chance most of us will be killed by the next virus. So, we got that going for us... which is nice.
  9. So can we all agree we have a new "blunder" to add to the list of classic blunders. Never get involved in a land war in Asia, never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line and never put tariffs on the entire world.
  10. Was looking at getting rid of my Tesla for something not Tesla but now I guess I have to pay more to do that. Pisses me off.
  11. Why not just get Joe Mazzulla to coach and Brad Stevens can be his “GM”? They seem gettable with that struggling Celtics team.
  12. Terry is a really nice guy and a very good assistant coach but as a head coach he can’t build a roster and sucks as a game day coach. Don’t let the door knob hit your ass on the way out.
  13. So, just saw the below on NBC news. Is this normal? Seems like something Putin would want but not in America’s best interest. Go figure. Trump admin considers giving up NATO command that has been exclusively American since Eisenhower
  14. So basically, when Trump is done tariffing every item and country on the planet, all trade with other countries will slowly cease and we will only be able to purchase items from the US which will be more expensive than we are used to since US companies won’t be able to sell their products worldwide? Seems like a genius plan.
  15. So I drive a Tesla Model S that is now 4 years old and out of warranty. Thinking of getting rid of it and getting another EV but not Tesla. Anybody have any thoughts on Lucid? I want a sedan (no truck or SUV's since the wife has the SUV for the family). I charge at home and rarely ever go on road trips. As an example, my Model S has 25K miles after 4 years.
  16. Thanks Biden
  17. Tesla liberal here but my wife really wants me to get rid of it based on the politics of Elon and not the car. Been looking at Lucid's way too much the last week.
  18. A real man eats the biscuits and gravy with a side of pancakes/waffles and maple syrup. Not the real maple syrup but the high fructose corn syrup maple flavored syrup because it tastes better! Oh, and don't forget the sausage and bacon on the sides. I would have said eggs also but I would have to take out a second mortgage on my house to be able to afford eggs at this point.
  19. Look at the positives. With Canada our 51st state I can finally buy property in Banff without being a Canadian citizen. Then again, with Banff being part of the US we will probably turn it into Branson north and destroy why it's so great. Then again, maple syrup may be cheaper in the future. See, think positive!
  20. So how long until Trump announces we are going to sell Alaska to Russia for a million dollars and half the country cheers this on?
  21. It's almost like something like this scenario would greatly help Putin. America destroying itself from within and with its allies. What a coincidence.
  22. Fixed that for you. Oh and about the Ukraine thing, I am guessing if Putin told Trump to attack Ukraine with missiles and drone strikes it would happen immediately and the Republican politicians would explain what a great move it is by Trump.
  23. You sound like James Carville. I think he said the below a week ago. Renowned Democratic strategist James Carville has delivered a stunning prediction that the Trump administration is in the “midst of a collapse” and will crumble within four to six weeks. Carville, 80, on Friday urged his fellow Democrats to play “possum,” stay out of the way and let Republicans implode as President Trump plows ahead with his dramatic overhaul of the federal government. “What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” Carville mused to Mediaite founder Dan Abrams.
  24. Also, this is all an act for his base. Trump wants an excuse to pull all help for Ukraine to let Putin take it over. Hell, he will do the same to the rest of Europe if Putin asks.
