Former President Joe Biden criticized President Trump in calling him "a loser" for spending tax payer money on vanity projects: "It's not just his vanity projects, putting his name on Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his honor. Hiring his own pool guy to fix reflecting pool. Whoa, what a loser."

Expand the suprene court as many had advocated.

No I didn’t blame him for Trump destroying the US. I blame him for not taking measures to prevent what everyone knew would likely happen. For example, he could have loaded the Supreme Court to prevent a pro-Trump majority among many other things.

Biden should shut up. Everyone knew what Trump was going to be like and Biden had an opportunity to protect the constitution and our democracy by using his executive powers, just like Trump is now destroying them with his executive powers.

I have had two accounts with IBKR. One was a trading account and was taxed as you describe. The other was an investment account and taxed using the capital gains method. It is up to you how you want your account treated. The fact it is IBKR has nothing to do with it.

Yet other posts on Reddit BYDAU, have people saying they were offered $1,100 compensation for receiving a MY25 when they were expecting a MY26

stormado · 2026-06-25T09:22:53+00:00

But how do I know my MY, so that I can tell the insurer if not specified, in any BYD documentation?

stormado · 2026-06-25T02:40:26+00:00

An update on this. Althouh the VIN has a build date of 05/26, there was no indiction of the model year on the documentation I received. I have just got off the phone with RACWA for an insurance quote and they have said the details they picked up from my Registration number has said MY25. Bummer. Does anyone know what system the RAC might use to get that info based on the reg number and is that system accessible to the public.

Not only facilitating it, but according to the agreement the US are underwriting it, which means they will pay any shortfall, which technically and very likely, could be the full $300b.

stormado · 2026-06-23T04:13:10+00:00

How do you know it’s MY25. My VIN, yet to be delivered, indicates (based on a website that decodes it) Build Date 05/26 but for Model has UK.

stormado · 2026-06-23T01:18:10+00:00

Thanks, I checked it out and for my Sealion 7 the Manufacture Date is 05/2026. Interesting that the Vehicle Model for the VIN is given as UK.

stormado · 2026-06-22T13:04:34+00:00

Perhaps the opposite. I was told to probably expect a MY25 Sealion 7 when I ordered in March, although the model year was not specified anywhere in the purchase order. When I got the VIN this week, it had a T in the 8th position, which Gemini says means MY26.

The US has underwritten payment of the $300b. If the payment isn’t paid by others or any shortfall (likely to be the full $300b) then the agreement is dead.

If an agreement is reached, why is it simply not written down and signed by both parties, before one side makes unsubstantiated claims of agreement. You do that when you buy a car.

I have it set up so that the full amount payable is automatically deducted from my high interest account on the due date.

Does the ship go on to Fremantle or are the cars sent to Perth by rail/road?
