Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, as mounting losses, unaffordable debt, increased competition for bargain-seeking airline passengers and the inability to merge with other airlines left it little choice. The airline said it will continue to operate as it restructures its debt. read more
SACRAMENTO, California " Phillips 66 announced Wednesday that it will close its Los Angeles oil refinery next year, citing "long-term uncertainty" two days after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law clearing the way for new regulations on the state's refiners. The closure would knock out about 8 percent of refining capacity in a state that barely produces enough of its special-blend gasoline to meet demand from its 31 million gas-powered vehicles. read more
At the time, I was unaware of a full dossier with additional allegations, which led some to accuse the New York Times of withholding that information from me. However, the article clearly stated that it was my "initial reaction" to those allegations, not a complete analysis. Today, I reviewed the complete dossier prepared by Dr. Stefan Weber, whom I have covered before. I also performed a peer review of one of his papers in 2018. With this new information, while I believe the case is more serious than I commented to the New York Times, the overarching points remain. While there are problems with this work, the pattern points to sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud. Is it problematic? Yes. But it's also not the wholesale fraud that many have claimed it to be. It sits somewhere between what the two sides want it to be. read more
From posts about the presidential election to posts about Hurricane Helene and Federal Emergency Management Agency misinformation, the CCC found them substantial enough to block the Air Force's plan to give SpaceX permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County. "Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims with free Starlink access to the internet," Commissioner Gretchen Newsom said at the meeting in San Diego.
Seriously, there's no reason to prove your ignorance with every post... we get it.
Yeah, that was stunningly stupid. Gotta agree.

You would, in what way did Corky defend the Millions of people that have entered the country illegally and stayed?
You can't tell me all these "asylum" seekers had no affect on housing, or hotel prices?
For the full fiscal year 2024, preliminary data show that DHS completed over 700,000 removals and returns, more than any prior fiscal year since 2010. That includes more removals to countries other than Mexico than in any prior year."
This is a silly stat, because the comparison assumes a "constant" rate of crossers per day, from 2010-2024. You'd be an idiot to believe its been the same constant rate, and only now they are improving upon it.

The mandates are the real problem. But then, centrally planned economics has never worked no matter how much people like Sycophant will scream otherwise.
This is where Syncophant doesn't understand what is happening,
Tesla sells mandated carbon credits to the tune $1.8B for doing absolutely nothing.

Does this mean the cars are bad or does it mean bad drivers tend to buy them?

idk, why aren't they getting sued? Seems like liability here would be paramount to fix this abuse, and tech failure.
Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand
"What a missed opportunity," said Matthew Wansley, a professor at the Cardozo School of Law in New York. "I have yet to see Tesla, or anyone defending Tesla, come up with an argument for why we should be letting people use [Autopilot] on roads that could have cross traffic. That's how a lot of these crashes are happening."

I am not sure what the problem with that would be, so long as they don't operate within the US.
For decades the US went after all sorts of groups that didn't pose a direct threat to US citizens, Syria for instance, Iraq.
I can't think of a more moral reason for military intervention eradicating the cartels..
