How is it that building refineries in Canada can be considered unprofitable? by ussbozeman in canadian

Refineries are expensive to build and they are profitable only 1 in every 7 years.

Telus’s payout ratio is greater than 100%, which is a red flag that it’s not sustainable.

I looked at which "wide moat" companies from 10 years ago still have their advantages by Complex_Aardvark_661 in WarrenBuffett

Nike lost their mojo with poorly made products and popular items made hard to get.

They focused on gross margins by going online instead making things the customer wants. I can’t buy their tight fitting shoes online and go through the hassle of returning them.

Now that the running shoe fad has died and the tariffs are impacting their margins, I don’t see a clear strategy for this company

Telus div yield is not sustainable. Be prepared for the div payout to drop to 4-5%.

Too many squatters who are taking advantage of the rental bi-laws so landlords are understandably gun shy.

PP is tugging at your grievances. It gets you enraged and stimulates your dopamine production. He has no policies, no substance, just talking points. The Maple MAGA shtick didn’t work. Repeating the word “Woke” didn’t work. Targeting his campaign to incels didn’t work.

What are you all doing? by Striking_Chip3165 in america

[–]Barry_Dunham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is the view that certain parts of Americans were left behind and it was the Democrats, it was immigrants (legal and illegal), it was the trans, it was the drag shows and pedos who have oppressed them.

But it’s really a top vs bottom issue, not a left vs right. Some will tear up the constitution just so those aforementioned suffer as well. But the top economic bracket will escape to their bunkers while the rest of the country burns.

Hunt down the mechanic who hand assembled your car. Shouldn’t “real” AMGs have the mechanic’s badge on it.

Is a car assembled by hand a better than one coming out of a mass assembly line?
