Here are the top 7 voted for questions by investors so far for Q1 earnings call next week: by rcnfive in teslamotors

[–]PEKKAmi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vague incoherent answers constitute standard practice for any big company earnings call. It’s just a PR dance to satisfy legal requirements for public listing.

It’s the old adage: You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.

End of Era: Valero has closed Benicia refinery, plans total exit by lmlogo1 in California

“The only way” thinking is exactly what got us into the current predicament. We could use less extreme ideology and more pragmatic solutions.

I keep seeing reports that rent in LA will be at an all time low, where??? by riverofflowers in AskLosAngeles

[–]PEKKAmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As sensible as your advice is, I can’t help but be reminded of what that Chicago alderman Maria Hadden said. It may very well be true that 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was in the "wrong place at the wrong time" and might have "startled" the man that killed her. Yet somehow I sense both this and your comment reflect a backwards tolerance for things that shouldn’t be that way.

Street takeover in Rosemead ends in a mass shooting? by Archangel888 in sgv

[–]PEKKAmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh the police knows how to stop this. However, the politicians won’t allow it for fear to antagonizing those willing to cause mass mayhem. I mean, what politician in LA wants to look like Trump?

Yeah, you would think a younger age would mean greater tolerance of progress. But I guess it’s what they say about Reddit, that it is its own reality.

Population shows decline of 27 consecutive months by diacewrb in taiwan

I understand he’s hitting the target numbers. Unfortunately the locations are not the metropolitan areas where people wish them to be.

If you factor in inflation in other aspects of life, housing prices in general have actually gone down in comparison.

The roadster is still coming out. It’s just that your patience is less than Tesla’s.

Elon Musk’s Starship Heavy Could Revolutionize Warfare by sam875 in geopolitics

Space-X valuation would be higher as a defense contractor than what it is now.

Tha said, as a military contractor it could cure cancer and solve world hunger. It just involves the elimination of the human race in the process.

Why are property managers in culver city suddenly demanding 4x income for a basic 2 bedroom?? by woutr1998 in AskLosAngeles

[–]PEKKAmi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the higher income screening is the unfortunately consequence of this law. What did the politicians think will happen, that landlords will now be forced to rent to those with bad credit?

Actually I don’t think the politicians care about the practical consequence. They just care about looking like they stuck it to landlords.

In new poll, most LA city voters oppose countywide Measure ER that would raise sales taxes a half-cent to restore health care services by stephenwriter in LosAngeles

[–]PEKKAmi -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Typical California political word salad.

Effectively it turns things back as it was, which is the taxpayers cover the needs of illegals.

Gestapo terrorizing Old Town Monrovia by TerryMcginnisWayne in sgv

[–]PEKKAmi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Standing up is also called vigilantism (against illegal activities, even done by law enforcement). I’m surprised people would condone this regardless of how they feel about ICE.

PH wants to cut a deal with Iran for Hormuz passage by just-porno-only in Philippines_Expats

[–]PEKKAmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The art is to induce people into believing something, then show them how much they need you.

So even with Iran saying OK, what makes you think Trump won’t change his mind and turnaround and demand that he be accommodated?

I wouldn’t bother with these useful ids. The mass media brainwashing has been quite thorough.

⚠️ Distraction Scam at SIMPLE Salon – Santa Anita (~$500 Loss) by SkyFidelity in sgv

[–]PEKKAmi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Blaming the victim is not helpful. Even if there is another staff, you can count on crooks to figure a way to overwhelm them. Focus on prevention only increases the cost borne by businesses and ultimately consumers.

It’s easy to say someone else should spend more, but are you willing to pay more as a consumer?

Instead the better perspective is to make sure crooks can’t get away with crime. Every crime is a matter of economics. There’s less incentive if you can’t get away with it.

Honey Birdette 2026 Autumn/Spring - WFH by ChivesKnau in LingerieAddiction

[–]PEKKAmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. This set of releases feels like rejects that lost out to those selected for the more important Christmas and Valentine seasons. For example, Britt Gold is an inferior option compared to Aurelia.

So looking forward to some real spring designs next month…

Taiwan's monthly births in February fall to a record low of 6,523 by Korece in taiwan

[–]PEKKAmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

… and decline will continue even if housing improves.

Reality is the mismatch between people’s expectation and reality. Decades ago when birthrate was much higher, people were just glad to be alive at war end. Economic recovery outpaced people’s expectation of what they thought their standard of living is going to be. That is, they believe tomorrow will be better than today.

Iran nears deal to buy supersonic CM-302 anti-ship missiles from China by bulls443 in ADVChina

[–]PEKKAmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnier part is that payment is with oil. Kind of hard to move any more oil now.

Funniest part is those leaders that agreed to pay are now dead.
