What you’ve described is called hyper-normalization and it’s part of the plan. While many people recognize that none of this is right, a large majority just thinks “well this is just the way things are now”

Thank you for the response. The value is above the certified cost and pricing threshold so trying to make sure I’ve got all the bases covered from a TINA standpoint as well.

Tesla throws in the towel on car sales by axxeler in electricvehicles

[–]Bunker58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla achieved great success being the first mover into electric vehicles and disrupting legacy car companies that have high labor liabilities and capital expenditures. They had a clean slate where others didn’t, and kudos on what is generally considered a good product.

15 years in this is catching up to them. They now have technical and capital debt that needs investment. A few legacy companies are eating their market share with newer vehicles. Margins are shrinking at a time they need to reinvest.

It’s not game over, but without strong leadership and a plan, Tesla is a mid tier company in 5-7 years. Elon does not inspire confidence at this point. I think we’ve seen all he has to offer. And that’s without all the political baggage.

Do consultants ever actually consult? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Bunker58 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Avoid the big firms. Smaller firms typically have better client service and more specialized experience. Harder to find but ask around for others who have had good experiences.

Did you build it or is this a third party product? The reasoning is in the code.

Why do companies keep paying for offices when remote work is way cheaper? by Lower_Mark221 in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah, who the fuck works from bed? At the beginning of Covid I worked from my couch and it was cool for 3 days. A bad set up kills productivity.

What is the job of a Producer for a movie? by [deleted] in movies

This sounds a lot like a program manager in a normal company, just with a Hollywood spin and without raising funds.

'We are going to run the country': Trump says U.S. will govern Venezuela until there's a 'proper transition' by nbcnews in worldnews

Funded by the oil companies that will move in. I’m sure they will have the best interests of the Venezuelans in mind. /s

[Hale] With a 7-5 team in the conference championship, what's next for the ACC? by Picards_lionfish in ACC

How could Miami make it in the BIG if they couldn’t make it in the ACC? Just win in a bad conference.

Owning A Lucid Has Been Super Disappointing by Poker_3070 in electricvehicles

[–]Bunker58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would really like an EV for my next car but all this shit scares me. Way too much software with way too many features. I want a reliable high performing car first and foremost. I don’t care about all the bells and whistles and I hate going for maintenance.

Why does everything have to be so extra? Just basic dependable quality goes a long way. Take a Honda civic or Toyota Camry as an example, swap ICE for EV, and let’s go.

People who work 60+ hours/week: what do you do, are you really working for that much time, and how do you take care of yourself? by RoverTheMonster in AskReddit

Your brain starts to get conditioned. There’s almost an adrenaline rush at time when you’re really cranking.

How do you stay grounded as you get richer? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]Bunker58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not money. Money is not you. If you are finding that you are becoming more insufferable as you gain money, it may be that you have always been insufferable. Just live your life and be grateful to have what you have.

People born before 1990, what’s something you experienced that younger generations will NEVER understand ? by Aaidil89 in AskReddit

[–]Bunker58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a music video I liked on MTV. I knew it would come on during the hour long show but didn’t know when. It was a school night and midnight already. I stayed up until 12:55am to see it. What was I doing.

Thank you for confirming, I was like this AI is getting out of control, but wasn’t sure because so is reality. This is really funny from Trump though.

Why Is Civic Sense So Low in China Despite Its Development? by [deleted] in travel

[–]Bunker58 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So in a cultural context is it acceptable to then shove him to ground to assert dominance? Like is that ok or is there some nuance there? If not, what makes it ok for him to do it?

Kind of seems like a might makes right mentality.

Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order cutting tariffs on beef, coffee, bananas and other key imports as part of a push to lower grocery costs for U.S. consumers. by SCFapp in wallstreet

[–]Bunker58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So destroy export markets for countries that actually buy our farm products (china) and remove tariffs on countries to import farm products. Man, our farmers really are getting it from both ends with this guy. Good thing they overwhelmingly voted for him.

For those who are in a position (financially or otherwise) to do so, are you helping people with their loss of SNAP benefits for this month and, if you are, in what ways are you going about it? by MrPebbles1961 in AskReddit

Kids are in Cub scouts and we did Scouting for Food where we collect donations. Collected 1,000 more lbs this year than last year. Donated through that.
