A rising trend in the EU has been new buyers going for SUVs. People, especially those with families, have been buying them as sort of an insurance against accidents. You're far les…

If you want to encourage EV use and make it the mainstream majority, the last thing you need is to put further obstacles to its use such as an EV miles tax.

Remember the "Sick Man of Europe" moniker? Well Europe rn is the "Sick Man of the World". German automakers just laid off thousands of workers recently amid losses due to competiti…

He literally used the n-word in a stream, slip of tongue. It was such a big deal back then that even my Bloomberg Terminal thought it was worth mentioning for some reason.

Moved on from content for kids, now retired peacefully in Japan. There was that odd moment where he was competing for subs with T-Series, the Bollywood music company, but when he r…

Let us talk about how much tech the fledgling United States stole from the Europeans, starting from the cotton mill all the way up to the Tizard Project. The US literally stole com…

Xi Jinping is a massive football fan and tried incentivizing China's own league early on in his first term. He was quite successful in that too - just that Chinese people preferred…

Instead of investing in gimmicky tooling like these, states should just follow Native American battle-tested-for-centuries practices of wildfire control. Wildfires are a natural pa…

It will be very difficult for them to backtrack on their crap now without losing face, since many of them have gone off the far end. Elon was once a darling of the left, with sizea…

By finance bros, I meant people who continue to work in finance in some capacity. True, there is often some migration from finance to tech, which is usually composed of characters …

When I joined the UK division of a bank, back in 2016, we had the help staff wheel drinks carts around the house evey Friday at tea time. Adding Bombay Sapphire to your tea was pre…
