The Hurricanes took the series lead in the Wales Conference finals. Two more wins and they can knock those flappy-heads out of the competition for good. Vegas is about to sweep Colorado in the Campbell Conference finals, which I suppose kind of sucks. The Astros threw a combined no-hitter and swept the Cubs and are now just 3.5 games out of the division lead…but still 7 games below .500 ball. Man, that AL West sure sucks this year. Hamilton and Max stood on the podium together this weekend in Canada for the first time in ages. But only 4 cars finished on the lead lap and the mechanical breakdowns were less than ideal in what is becoming the most forgettable season in F1 that I can remember. The Indy 500 was the closest finish ever. And I just realized both of those happened two days ago and were probably talked about yesterday already. So I’ll finish sports on that note.
This is some interesting phrasing. One could also phrase it by saying these states are buttressing the protected First Amendment rights of worshippers by punishing those who violate their rights and hold them against their will. But that would be honest, and the AP can’t have that.
Great job, people. I’m sure this will be blamed on Trump.
Why doesn’t he just come out and say he would happily kill his political opponents? It worked out in Virginia for the AG.
Why are they just speaking up now? Better late than never, I suppose. But one would have hoped this would have come out a year or so ago.
What a peculiar headline. Especially when they could have gone with “Fetishist Man Finally Ejected After Repeatedly Showing His Dick And Balls To Women Against Their Will.” But that would be offensive to the quilt bag people and probably against the law in the UK.
I’ll remember this the next time they all say we’re uncivilized for a few gun deaths. Also, it was a whopping 80 degrees there. Which we call spring here in the Houston area.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Go fuck yourselves, Guardian.
Say it ain’t so, Joe Enzo. Or if you’re gonna do it, at least don’t make it ugly as shit.
Why would it have ever been “free” in the first place? I get a company doing it, but not a government entity.
This was a fun group. Just goofy. And the world needs more of that. Enjoy them both.

The one bright spot in this boring version of F1 is Kimi outperforming George Russell.
Watching him mentally crash out after breaking down on Sunday was absolutely hilarious.
Tantrums are kind of his brand.
He’s got the driving style of a robot and the temperament of a six year old. It’s very clear he thought this new tech package would be his ticket to a WDC and Toto would hand it to him for being such a team player for all those years.
Sadly for him, when Lewis left they brought someone in who isn’t afraid to actually mix it up. His window of opportunity is rapidly being slammed shut by a kid, lol.
They could always bring Botas back… he has the same driving style but better temperament. And was a team player and all.
To be fair, Bottas is Finnish. He’s physically incapable of showing emotion.
“Great job, people. I’m sure this will be blamed on Trump.”
\tards: DOGE CUT USAID!
That money wasn’t being used for anything other than propping up team blue criminal enterprises. Don’t fall for this shit.
Even if it were being used well by setting up the proper medical facilities and staffing competent physicians and other medical staff, it’s still not our fucking responsibility to make sure central Africa can remain disease free.
The argument is not whether the money was spent well. That too is a red herring.
The Indy 500 was the closest finish ever.
I strongly dislike this draggy underpowered spec indycar uses. It should not be a liability to lead the race. The better cars should be able to drive away from the worse cars.
I guess I’m in a small minority with that view.
Technology has made car racing kind of silly. The efforts to de-tech the cars make it sillier.
There are reasonable boundaries and restrictions that could be put in place to keep things safer while still allowing for differentiation and technological advancement.
However, indycars mantra seems to be that racing has to be safe, close, and cheap. having somebody lap all but 3 cars in a beast of a machine is none of those.
It’s manufactured excitement. And it’s exacerbated on a track like Indy. A bit of a bummer. I thought he was gonna simply drive away, especially after leading by so much coming into turn four on the final lap and not making a single mistake at the end of the race.
Equality man!!!

The Guardian actually exceeds my expectations.
[dog with head cocked in perplexion]
I’m not reading that trash but the headline is certainly worth a chuckle. They are still beyond satire it seems.
I agree with them that we want to bring suffering to the invaders.
I would bring more if it were up to me.
I’m not in that camp.
Just send them home. We should treat people with dignity. I don’t blame those who came here. We all want something better in life.
I blame those who allowed them to come. Those are who we need to put the screws on.
“I’ll remember this the next time they all say we’re uncivilized for a few gun deaths. Also, it was a whopping 80 degrees there. Which we call spring here in the Houston area.
But these are NOBLE deaths… Nature’s culling… Guns are icky!
Could nature cull the underclass of Houston?
No. It just relocates them to Spring, unfortunately.
Nature culls by cold, not heat.
In sports that matters, the Knicks swept the Cavaliers in Cleveland by almost 40 points. In the conference James “No D” Haden said: “I don’t know if I can necessarily answer that question. Because genuinely I do feel like we’re the better team”
Now that is funny right there. How the ever loving fuck do you feel you were the best team when you lost by 40 at home getting swept?
The west is more interesting but I feel the refs will do everything to give OKC the win.
The Knicks won on a technicality.
The electoral college?
Matters?
I care more about the talking heads trying to talk up Watson for another run at the starting job than I care about the Cavs. Wake me up when the NBA calls traveling, carrying, and flopping. They fall down more than soccer players at this point. Bunch of weak ass theater bitches.
Great job, people. I’m sure this will be blamed on Trump.
And on Musk and DOGE one would presume. If the did not gut USAID all this would have been avoided.
shit I was late on this one.
If the did not gut USAID all this would have been avoided.
There is still some USAID stuff under the State Department. USAID was written into law in the 90s, so it’s going to take Congress to fully get rid of it.
Concentrating on USAID ignores NED. DOGE blocked NED disbursements from the Treasury. NED received an injunction allowing them access funds. There was an amendment to prohibit funding to NED, but that got shot down.
It’s worse than ugly.
It’s boring.
But Jony Ive!!!!
Some people are bagging on the EV aspect. That isn’t that big a deal. The thing is a rocket ship and nobody except Clarkson/Hammond/May road trip in hypercars. The issue is the 5 seats and the god-awful look. Ferrari is meant to be a 2 seater that looks like a piece of automotive artwork rolling down the road.
Why would it have ever been “free” in the first place?
because it is a basic human right? And protected by the 8th Amendment.
Cruel and unusual punishments?
Have you seen CA electricity rates? I’d consider them borderline criminal.

I’m somewhat enjoying F2 this season… but the fact that I’m so behind on watching the races that my next one to watch is the Miami Feature Race combined with “I started the Miami Sprint race… saw Antonelli once again fubar the start, then woke up at the end.” tells you how exciting I’m finding the overpowered electric go-karts with “power BOOST!” mode…
“YMCA officials have previously pointed to California civil rights protections that allow individuals to use facilities consistent with their gender identity. ”
It’s a stupid law.
Stupid law? It already said it was California.
Especially since it is typically “gender identity at any given moment”. So ripe for abuse that “foreseeable consequences are not unintended” seems the only viable reaction.
Is that current law or are they twisting “sex” to mean “gender identity” like they tried to do with national civil rights law which specifically states “sex”.
It’s whatever gender the person says they are.
And in soccer results around the world, West Ham won but so did Spurs, so down go the Hammers. Cruz Azul won the Mexican championship, and all of Argentina held it’s breath as Messi subbed out (and limped straight to the locker room) in Miami late in the second half. All eyes now turn to the World Cup; the U.S. roster to be announced today.
Please don’t pick Tim Ream.
And Sunderland (go Black Cats!) defeated Chelsea to vault over Brighton and Brentford to qualify for next year’s Europa League — they were last there 53 years ago.
I guess if Arsenal beat PSG, then Bournemouth will be bumped up to Champions League.

I think Jews in NYC have a reasonably legitimate concern of being attacked by the kind of Islamist/antifa nutbags who run that joint. It’s happening elsewhere in the city.
The fact that they’re joining a coop with those nutbags shows that it’s an invented fear. If they actually feared for their safety, they’d do something mote effective than whining to the media.
I get the impression they were in the co-op before the nutbags.
It’s like our Idaho cohort or me here in the Catskills.
Ted, I had nothing against Bo Grits other than the trillion dollar coin idea and the nuts that moved to My little heaven.
The weirdest thing about the “europoor no AC” discourse is that there is AC everywhere in Southern and Eastern Europe so this is obviously not a financial issue.
It is an ideological issue in Northwestern Europe, which is admittedly even funnier.

Every nation has some ideological issues. I take the lack of ACs in homes over guns everywhere.
What a fucking pussy. I have AC in my house and am really missing the guns component.
My favorite bit is their whole “our homes are insulated to trap heat in the winter, not keep us cool in the summer.”
Motherfucker, do you buy a separate and differently engineered cold thermos and hot thermos? Or do you just not understand how insulation works?
Also, their lack of A/C leads to approximately 3x the number of heat-caused annual deaths than those carried out as gun homicides in the US.
Hence the basically uninsulated home of most people in Japan. Freezing in the winter.
I don’t get it, but that’s their story and they are sticking to it.
I live in a well insulated house. It means during the beginning of the warm ups, my house is ~10 degrees cooler than outside unless I open the windows and doors.
yes but when an insulated house gets hot inside after a while, then it takes time to get cool again.
I have dual insulation. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Actually the last couple days have been warm, now the house doesn’t cool off at night. I’ll have to turn the AC on today.
The problem is the cool air migrates downstairs when the AC is on, making it down right chilly. Thermostat is upstairs . (I checked)
We got our house reinsulated in Dec. it’s been much warmer and consistent since (duh). My wife expressed concern this weekend that it would stay warmer this summer and not cool off like it did previously. Yeah, possibly won’t cool off as fast or much overnight as the temp dips (if it does) but won’t get as warm or need as much AC during the day either.
“Men accused of sexual assault have essentially lost their right to a fair trial due to misguided changes to the Federal Rules of Evidence that Congress made in 1995 — solely for such cases.
The legislators kowtowed to the crazy notion that every woman who claims to be a victim of sexual assault is telling the truth and deserves to be hailed as a “survivor.”
Federal Rules 413, 414 and 415 allow prosecutors in criminal cases, or the plaintiff’s lawyer in a civil case, to drag in past accusers voicing their own grievances against the accused, no matter how unsubstantiated.”

Also a stupid law.
In western Europe you have this plus violent migrant gang rape of children which is ignored, which makes it extra special.
I’m still trying to understand how Europe tolerates it.
many simply do not know it is happening to the level it is because the media does not really cover it in a visible way.
many are simply choosing not to think about it for ideological reasons.
The same way blue cities and states in the US tolerate it. What are you gonna do, vote for the other guy?

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) air operations pumped into the air an estimated 335,876 tonnes (370,240 US tons) of carbon emissions in 2025, up 88% from the year before.
As Thomas Sowell has famously written, “Is that a lot? Compared to what?” Let’s drill down a little.
An estimated average of 22 airplanes perform 58 enforcement flights on any given day, research by Human Rights First has concluded.
Okay. By my (Google) research, there are ~2500 international flights per day originating in the U.S., and around 45,000 total commercial (passenger and freight flights).
An extra 58 is a rounding error, not a cause for climate alarm.
So they are now opposing illegal immigration because of the carbon emissions it produces?
Intersectional crises!
This is about as dumb as the NPR story they ran during Iraq War II featuring a professor who said you shouldn’t be able to bomb Iraq because of the number of historical sites.
Now, at no point was I pro-Iraq II, but if the cause is legitimate, you don’t pull your punches and allow snipers and enemy troops to use historical sites as safe zones. There are also many other good reasons to not support that war without reaching that far down the list.
I have a solution, hear me out.

Huh, no mention of how she lost her accusation against Weinstein in LA of all places.
First I’m hearing of said “criticism”. It’s the Guardian so they could be losing their minds again.
I’ve heard people making fun of her on podcasts.
Oh. Well, I’m not THAT plugged in.
Republicans have particularly latched on to clips of Siebel Newsom discussing gender stereotypes, as well as one of her speaking to prisoners at San Quentin, the large California state prison in the San Francisco Bay Area, about the the death of her eight-year-old sister.
This was pretty viral when it first happened, probably because it is crazy.
By doing something other than running Gavin’s kitchen.
No one elected her, so if she wants to be free of criticism maybe she should shut the fuck up.
Because speaking up is almost certainly going to put their livelihoods at risk. You know whoever is running their union is going to be tight with the incompetent communist mayor and those people can hold a grudge.
George Russell- Last year he crashed and ended up sideways on the track. I don’t remember where.

During the rally, Platner leaned heavily into anti-corporate rhetoric, telling a crowd of cheering progressives they must build a “political revolution” and take back “what is ours.”
“We are taking back what is ours. We’re going to take it back from the corporations that seek profit, no matter the cost from the billionaires for whom greed is the point, and from corrupt politicians like Susan Collins, corrupt politicians who have sold us out,” Platner said.

The pig in the python: Baby Boomers are strangling the economy they built by refusing to move or retire
https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/articles/pig-python-baby-boomers-strangling-080000169.html
When Boomers flooded the labor market in the 1970s, they created a competitive squeeze that never fully released — leaving the generations behind them without the wage rebound economists had predicted. When they bought homes, prices soared. When they took the top jobs in business, culture, and civic life, they held them — and held them, and held them.
That is the dumbest fucking failure to understand economics I’ve seen in a long time.
I absolutely saw some of this in the first half of my career. There was a giant pile up of upper-mid mgt all waiting line for a top mgt spot to open up. The top managers started in 1970 got there in 10 years, the length for my Gen X cohort was closer to 20 in part due to congestion and a glut of people in that upper-mid level.
On the other hand, nothing was preventing anyone, including myself, from striking out on their own and making their own way.
This was written by AI, which means it speaks authoritatively and incorrectly. That is a liberal wet dream.
They didn’t start working until their late 20s?
I would be far more inclined to believe that the delay in promotions to higher level management was caused by DEI shit than just the number of people. I left 3 jobs when I got told as a white dude, and the most qualified and hard working producer, they had to go with some other demographic cause, raccissm!
What the headline means to say is, “…by refusing to die.”

Still in my 3-bedroom house that I built long after the kids were gone. I will be there the rest of my life.
Still working and probably will continue for another 5 to 10 years.
Also, the boomers are actually two different cohorts of people. I come from the second half — “generation jones” — and generally spent my life hating the “boomers” in front of me.
copilot says:
In summary: Generation Jones is often described as a generation of pragmatic, politically cautious, and somewhat cynical individuals, shaped by the disillusionment of the late 1960s and early 1970s rather than the idealism of the 1960s counterculture. This mix of idealism and realism makes them distinct from both Boomers and Gen X.
So, go ahead. Hate on the boomers. I’m too tired of this by now.
And as long as we’re here . . . fuck the kiddies that can’t learn how to grow up. 😉
I’d point out that the Baby Boom was really Hitler’s fault, but I’m afraid some malevolent lurker who got lost looking for ZeroHedge would try to twist that to blame (((them.)))

CT, yes.
Boom started in the late 30s in Germany, Japan, ect.
The 1970s. That powerhouse of economic growth and wage increases. Never mind the WWII generation that held the reigns of power, including the presidency between 1961 and 1993.
“Women on TikTok have revived the trend in recent weeks, sharing their own microfeminisms. “I call the spiders MOMMY long legs,” one user wrote in the caption of her TikTok. “Only planting female trees in my yard,” said one commenter. “As a waitress, whenever a couple orders the same thing, I give the larger portion or better looking one to the female,” wrote another.
The examples go on: “I default to ‘she’ when I don’t know the gender of an animal.” Saying, “‘I like your costume’ when they’re wearing a jersey.” “Instead of ‘Thank God’, I say, ‘Thank Goddess’.” “Assume the drink with the fruit and the umbrella is the man’s order.””

“Digital spaces can be hostile to women, with misogynists weaponizing their hate and toxic masculinity to harass feminists in inboxes or comments sections. When a manosphere influencer says that men are the “real victims” of DEI and gender equality – a favorite talking point of theirs – those ideas trickle down to faceless acolytes. Wood saw some men in her comments calling microfeminism displays of sexism – towards men.”

What a miserable waste of a morning. It felt like I was in a Europoor hospital – take a number and die on the waiting list. After literal hours of waiting, I left that shithole and scheduled an appointment online with someplace else. I should not have to wait like that for routine lab work.
Everyone else does, UCS, why should you be an upgrade?
Every other time I’ve had to get routine lab work, I was in and out within a half hour, wait and draw included. The other people there had similar turnaround times.
If you’re waiting for hours, something’s wrong.
People are sleeping off “celebrating” the long weekend, and that place is obviously short staffed the day after. The amount of people that told me happy Memorial Day not understanding what Memorial Day is about left me sad..

I guess I’m in a small minority with that view.
Until they figure out how to break Dallara’s stranglehold on the series, that won’t change.
I don’t think there’s a groundswell of desire to change. Most people seem to love this slingshot stuff.
Indycar has figured out the formula. Throw a late caution, perhaps red flagging it. Sweep the track. Bring them to green with less than 5 laps to go and let them go crazy slingshotting past one another to the checkers.
The pig in the python: Baby Boomers are strangling the economy they built by refusing to move or retire
I read that yesterday.
Is there nothing the boomers can’t ruin? Just wait ’til they all die off and there’s nobody left who knows how anything works.
I’m confused by the “boomers are hoarding everything” argument. There are plenty of critiques I’d lob at boomers, but hoarding housing? Come on.
They obviously need to be rounded up and crammed into warehouses to free up the housing for Ethan and Madison.
These young kids do not want a starter home. They want the giant home their parents bought as their second or third home. after decades of participation trophies and self esteem shit, none of these kids want to work and earn anything. They demand it and feel entitled to it. They all think they know it better and if they were left to do the work, would all end up dead. Fucking lazy.
Same with starter jobs. If they’re unhappy with current career progression, try a half century ago or before when you might just do that same entry job for your entire life, how ever long or short it was.
Speaking of boomer related thumbsuckers, I saw one about the impending collapse of the collector car market when the boomers croak and leave their hotrods to kids who don’t care about them.
How terrible. I might get a bargain on a sweet ride without an iPad on the dash.
Same
I would love to have another 1988 Firebird.
The issue is if you are buying a collector car as an “investment” or something to enjoy that you hope is roughly stable in value.
I’d like a mostly original car that I can drive and experience. I don’t want some rotisserie restoration, numbers matching, paint marked garage queen that gets driven 100 miles a year. My “restomods” in such a vehicle would be something like a dual master cylinder, electronic ignition, and possible carb replacement with fuel injection. That’s it. Maybe some hidden Bluetooth receiver to stream from my phone to the default single dash speaker.
You’d be surprised at the low prices for ultra-restored cars. And I would drive it like a new car if I could afford it. I think the trend of fire sales for restored autos will accelerate, makings some awesome deals for cars you could put on the road immediately.
RJ. I e seen some great stuff from the late 30s and fifties that’s restores come up for good prices. Just don’t have a space in the shop for them.
I think that is valid. The TikTok generation cares little for classic cars. The flex would be new super/hyper cars and tech focus.
It’s the whole Cars and Bids mid 80s and up approach. It’s where the market is likely to go.
Related – OTH, I saw YouTuber look at comparable sales on C&B versus Bring a Trailer and BoT got significantly more money for the same vehicles. He did the work so we don’t have to. Essentially if it a post Muscle Car Era vehicle you want as buyer look to C&B.
Well, earlier generations called any subculture that had an attachment to classic cars misogynistic, anti-Earth, and toxic. If the current yutes are going to be following the Gen X model, I expect at least on brief blast of swing/ska/big band music/classic cars nostalgia to hit here soon.
From what I’ve been seeing, there’s some anti-pin-up stuff going around social media with jealous women bitching about women doing “too much work” to look good.
Like that’s going to happen. Boomers aren’t going to leave their sub-millennial offspring anything. They’re gonna sell their classic cars for whatever they can get while they’re still alive.
Only someone truly, deeply entitled would expect an inheritance from someone they openly despise…
ES knows my father.
Except it’s the opposite direction in who openly despises who.
That market is so incredibly overheated at the moment a crash is inevitable. Some of the “muscle cars” being sold for health six-figure sums at Barrett Jackson aren’t even actual muscle cars. They are just resto-mods of other models from the muscle car era.
Ive seen some good deals on older restorations recently.
Great job, people.
We rightfully complain about our own COVID lockdown experience, but poor countries got completely screwed. While our laptop class was ordering Doordash and doing TikTok dances, they had no money and no food. Many countries were denied the vax because they wanted to manufacture it themselves (which turned out to be a good thing in the long run, but put to rest the idea that the vax was anything other than a money grab). I’m not surprised they aren’t playing along this time.
Great music as always. I feel like I wore that tape out in high school.
BoT got significantly more money for the same vehicles.
No kidding. BaT prices are nuts. Who throws that kind of money at a car without crawling around underneath it?
I remember when BaT was a place to put crazy project cars you saw on craigslist.
Yeah BaT was for half finished projects that actually needed a trailer and race cars.
Some of the “muscle cars” being sold for health six-figure sums at Barrett Jackson aren’t even actual muscle cars.
What?! A four dour 1975 Nova with a crate motor isn’t a muscle car?
“Speaking on the I’ve Had It podcast with progressive host Jennifer Welch, Steyer said he fully supports transgender athletes competing in girls’ sports, arguing that protecting transgender youth outweighs concerns about fairness in competition.
“You talked about trans people. I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school,” Steyer said. “I think when you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand that almost half of them try to commit suicide.” This alleged trans suicide stat has been debunked….
The billionaire candidate, endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, who has frequently highlighted his own background in athletics, also downplayed the impact on female competitors. “And, you know, as someone who played sports my whole life and loves sports and loves playing sports, they’re more important things than whether you start on your high school basketball team,” Steyer said. “And that is standing up for people who are under threat of death.””

Everyone in this story should be thrown down a well.
Such as?
The massive mental breakdown that comes when you find out butchering your body still didn’t get sane people to buy into your delusions?
Veto by self-harm threat. Lovely.
I wonder how strongly he’s standing up for some other groups who live “under threat of death”, such as partygoers in southern Israel or slave labors in western China or or or….
Or people who just live in cities in California.
Wait – a high spec Miata is… Price, as tested $43,730. Sure it’s the 100lbs additional power hard top version, but really?
I guarantee there is some garage queen available for sale for like $25k with low miles.

Wut?
I would prefer a used Vanderhall.
Why buy a miata when you could have this?
Because I owned an E30 with the 1.8L and it was a pig.
Also thats ugly.
The Miata is cute and will pick up all the bois.
For $46K you could have bought this:

A BMW doesn’t even have vent windows.
A busy of mine found and bought one of those 62s. So damn ugly. He ended up selling it unrestored or modified about five years later. Probably the only car he ever made money on. Guy was weird. Every junker he dragged home he put new tires on only to sit and rot without driving it.
I don’t think there’s a groundswell of desire to change. Most people seem to love this slingshot stuff.
Absolutely not a desire for change. They want to emulate the nfl model of managed competition and “parity”. And a big equity stake for the team owners.
i saw people talking about how much the Speedway needs bump day. I don’t think bump day is coming back.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. We had folks over Sunday and Monday. I ended up casing the 20# of meat I had in the freezer, so we had a mini sausage fest. We’ll probably expand and have a larger group next year.
Yesterday we had someone over who works at a wildlife rescue. Part of her job is taking home baby critters that need to be fed frequently. She brought 24 baby possums in an incubator, and we got to hold them when it was feeding time. They were about as big as a large mouse. Very cute. But even at that age, they were hissing.

Possums are nothing but giant prehistoric rats. Drown them.
At least someone has not shared their favored “recipe” yet…
Possum poppers?
Door possum.
Empty posturing
Blocking institutional investors from snapping up more single-family housing could open up more inventory for individual homebuyers here or there, said Tobias Peter, a senior fellow and co-director of the American Enterprise Institute’s Housing Center. But since a lot of investor-owned housing is leased out, there might then be fewer options for renters, he added.
“So, it’s probably a wash,” Peter said.
Affordability is a top concern of both Democrats and Republicans heading into the midterm elections as the increasing cost of housing persists as a key issue for voters. Seven in 10 Americans support the kind of ban Congress is considering, according to a Bipartisan Policy Center/Advocus poll conducted last month.
The language aiming to limit Wall Street’s ownership of housing is one of more than 50 measures in the landmark bipartisan package designed to increase housing supply and homeownership. But it’s likely to be the most politically salient. President Donald Trump called for the ban in his State of the Union address.
Anti-corporate-fatcat windbaggery is not going to make houses cheaper or more plentiful. The government needs to stop erecting regulatory impediments ; not just zoning, but building codes and other requirements which jack up costs.
It’s a sideshow, like saying “Drill baby drill” when what we need is refinery capacity.
“Shares of luxury car manufacturer Ferrari fell Tuesday following the luxury carmaker launching its first fully electric vehicle.
The Luce, as it’s been dubbed, was unveiled in Rome and follows Porsche and Lamborghini scaling back plans to launch their own EVs in the face of weak demand from customers, according to CNBC.
U.S. shares of the company were down 4.58% on Tuesday morning, while the Milan-listed shares were down more than 6%.
The Luce is priced at $640,000 USD, and can hit 60 mph in about 2.5 seconds. It has a maximum speed of 192 mph.”

WTF would pay $640K for that?
