[00:22]	IsambardPrince	Watching 1984. I liked that episode of All In The Family where Michael mentions something "is Big Brother".
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	Archie is too stupid to know what Big Brother is and goes right on ranting. Michael says "It's 1984!" and Archie says "Look at this Meathead, doesn't even know what year it is!"

[01:49]	IsambardPrince	Smith doesn't even say anything to him because Smith was the one who crossed out the pledge not to lower it below 30 grams and wrote a new headline saying it was being increased to 25 grams.

[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	@dt facts were stated, not opinions, those are balanced comments from real life experience.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	It gets worse....roll back the clock 5 years, no AI to help, ok...we need more people, yes, h1b's fill a gap, paid less, quality of work less, but regardless, fills a gap.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Now today....AI tools are good, getting better, do we need lower paid h1b's from a country where the education system is not as good?
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Ask yourself that question, look into the future and state what the right move is, state why, and no rants, and no criticism, let the forum vote and decide...

[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	@dr Thank goodness you're not in charge of decision making as your bigotry would stop you from making any good decision that's if you could. If the h1bs are so bad, then why has MS and similar companies still grown by leaps and bounds. I bet you would say is the local talent that has made it so. In your hateful head, all h1bs are slackers.

[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	it's true some american's could work harder and they are not cheap, but more often, I see H1B's pretend to work hard, or slack as much, usually worse.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	I think the main thing here, is that locally trained american's with good communication skills are still the top talent, and by far.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	I have also seen huge favoritism for Indian workers, workers that are slackers, yes from India, and not let go.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Does this make sense, no, it's favoritism.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Leaving Indian workers in place that come over here, are entitled, ride the system, cost the company more than they are worth, not ok.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Look, I get it, the VP is from India, fires the white folks because they have opinions that differ from theirs.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Keeps the heads down foreign workers that are quietly stashing their unearned paychecks, while plotting their return to India to retire as fat cats.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	If you want an efficient well run team, it going to take more than "saving" money on these pretenders. Cut the h1b's first, then focus on real talk with your local workers who can't run to a country to retire on a mere 250k.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Do the right thing, it will pay off huge, and stop wasting money on the facade you think is a bargain.
[03:05]	schestowitz[TR3]	Peace.

[04:21]	IsambardPrince	"Heres what we know, based on Teslas deliveries (a proxy for sales) released this week: The EV maker delivered about 384,000 vehicles in total, world-wide, between April and June this year a record 13.5% decline from a year earlier.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	Zoom in, and it gets uglier for Tesla.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	Tesla doesnt break out sales of the Cybertruck, one of its premium models that Musk says was inspired by the dystopian movie Blade Runner. It discloses just two categories the Model 3 and Y in one category and, in the second, other models, which is almost entirely the companys legacy Model S sedan, the Model X SUV and the Cybertruck.
[04:21]	TR Bot	 Why Teslas Cybertruck has been such a flop | CNN Business
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	The company said it delivered about 10,400 other models in the second quarter, which itself is a huge problem for Tesla. In the same quarter last year, Tesla sold more than 21,500 other models. Its hard to think of another word for a 52% decline other than a collapse.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	Whatever the number of cyber trucks it's impossible they're selling enough to break even.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	How many of those others are Cybertrucks, and how many are the Model S or X? Thats not entirely clear.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	But lets look at the first three months of this year. Tesla sold about 12,900 other models, of which 7,100 were Cybertrucks, according to registration data from S&P Global Mobility. So a bit more than half."
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	---
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	Whatever the number of cyber trucks it's impossible they're selling enough to break even.
[04:22]	IsambardPrince	Several thousand per quarter in the entire world and going down. That's not a lot of sales.
[04:22]	IsambardPrince	They're very expensive, not at all practical, very unreliable, massive depreciation, and tons of recalls.

[06:44]	IsambardPrince	Due to the tariffs.
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	So I'm amazed that they're still buying a trunkful of fireworks.
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	It might have cost twenty or thirty bucks for bags and bags of them when I was a kid.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	But now I'm sure that's not the case.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	They say if you want less of something you tax it.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	So Trump has put massive taxes on 78% of the economy.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Between 10-70% apparently by the time this is over.

[09:28]	IsambardPrince	On social media for his company, Legacy Doctors LLC, Peyroux promotes the services he offers other medical providers, saying in an Instagram video that We have programs that will help you make an additional million dollars a year, I know most people say that but Im telling you the truth.
