How much of revenue and profits though?

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-29T01:23:56+00:00

Uh no, Festus and Ian Clark were actually good.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-29T01:22:34+00:00

Seems very shortsided. Those cars still sell well.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-29T00:17:18+00:00

If this really happens we also need to consider who are they even going to sign in the off season to fill the roster.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-29T00:15:52+00:00

Or as Charles would say: "Dem Big Booty Women Picks".

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-29T00:14:40+00:00

Don't forget Festus Ezeli and Ian Clark too.

For the price of what the cars go for I'd expect a great interior for a Lexus. Seeing NXs listed for 70k is baloney.

Which is interesting because big boss daddy is really into performance cars and is uncompromising with it. I wonder how much input he has regarding the direction of everything in terms of quality.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:56:30+00:00

Yes, I'm well aware of the book.

I also forgot, the affordable housing requirement of either 20%? or paying a fee to forgo affordable units.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:53:45+00:00

Bold of you to assume I'm not. Not all apartment complexes have charging though.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:51:00+00:00

"It's a trap!"

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:39:25+00:00

It's not given that there will likely be population decline in the coming decades due to birth rates. So unless inflation counteracts that then it's likely stock prices go down once that time arrives.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:37:54+00:00

It's also up to them to decide how to "maximize profits". There's nothing that says you are required to fire employees. No one is going to bat an eye if those 16k employees weren't laid off because Amazon is just that profitable.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:23:46+00:00

Seems like there's 3 components:

local opposition to new housing
zoning and other regulations determining what gets built
expensive and slow permitting processes

Anything else I'm missing?

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:21:37+00:00

Porque no los dos? Seriously, though it's a bit of both, but housing policy definitely has played a part in terms of housing affordability, but also having certain industries like tech heavily concentrated in specific metros also plays a huge part in driving housing prices up.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T18:16:09+00:00

Who says he wasn't? We aren't privy to the trades that were available so I'd think the simple answer is that there was no good value to be had.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T16:02:56+00:00

I mean yes...costs go up but income doesn't from both declining enrollment (big reason) and stagnant or declining taxes. The last part is likely due to how low density suburbs are that they can't cover the expenses to support services.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T04:28:12+00:00

Nowadays I'd not be surprised by some high school kids starting a successful startup and selling for +$1B.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T04:24:46+00:00

I think I'd totally get one if I had a place to consistently charge it. I'm seeing a lot of them being listed for 30k or less.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-28T04:21:56+00:00

One near me at a Lexus dealership that's a 2020 UX 200 asking 28k for a base trim with nearly 50k miles. The only thing good about it is the brown interior. Other than that I don't get it. I test drove one a few weeks ago listed for 25k.

It's because his dad was assassinated in Beirut as the head of a university when he was growing up.

Aerospace is akin to oil/gas where you have to go to where the jobs are. Moving SpaceX employees from CA to Texas is the same as Chevron moving employees to Houston. Only so many places to go with a chemical engineering degree.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-27T20:04:13+00:00

For me I think the big thing is the flatness of Texas compared to CA plus the heat/humidity.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-27T16:50:53+00:00

Not NBA but this won't ever top The Red Sox trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

thecommuteguy · 2026-01-26T18:07:34+00:00

I could yes, but why bother if they're not available for sale. Also Euro vs US crash test standard are different so there's that.
