Drivers working for taxi companies with no benefits competing against union taxi drivers in the same company.

Only an idiot would do that!

Yeah, I don't know think so. People used to say that Japanese would only buy good quality, well known brands. But Donki is still going very strong. Similar to Starbucks too, some thought they wouldn't stand a chance against the traditional coffee places because Starbucks is a non smoking place. And they ate alive all those kissaten.

If they were to allow Uber into the car sharing territory, they would destroy the taxi industry (at least in urban areas).

Do not forget the Iphone!

Chinese people like many other Asian countries have no problem being racist against other people especially people of African descent. Now that they perceive themselves as being treated like Black people, it is a problem.

"It is not a problem, until it happens to you!"

One Chinese reviewer likened the series to "a plate of General Tso's chicken", a Westernised Chinese dish that can be used as a metaphor for inauthenticity and cultural misunderstanding.

Interesting but accurate description of appropriation!

Many commenters questioned the motive behind the decision to keep the villain Chinese while the heroes are mostly played by Westerners.

Once again, welcome to be treated like Black people. Has anyone noticed all the Black people in the new DC movies and Disney Star Wars on Disney+ shows being promoted as the main antagonist to all the White protagonists?

That being said, I enjoyed the series despite the plot holes.

And Russia!

If the US wants to see where all the hate is coming from, go buy a mirror. Neither China nor Russia could come remotely close to creating the toxic division fostered by Republicans and Democrats in a US election year. Blaming foreigners or social media for it is a lie and a pathetic one. Sort yourselves out and stop blaming other people. Microsoft are just damaging their own reputation with garbage like this.

I also forgot Iran!

Sort yourself out mate!

How is that driverless going again?

This is the snakeoil salesman lying to the general public again because the shares are continue to tank. It is weel documented that Tesla is the worse performing this year. Apparently, it has become easier for Elon to lie to everyone than for him to control himself which is the primary cause for the falling stock.

People have finally realized that Tesla is just an overpriced car company run by an unhinged conspiracy believing drug abuser. The markets are adjusting, accordingly

China has threatened to destroyed some cables in the pass or not allow them to reach which they call Chinese territory aka Taiwan!

Meta purposely is closing down their fraud unit this summer specifically during a presidential election year. I guess his Chinese wife passed on the message from CCP.

Also, Elon is beholden to anyone who controls his ability to produce and supply Tesla. That, of course, is China. How many conspiracies will he allow on the platform from the "far-right" and shared on his own personal account.

Let's not forget the ironic "Truth Social," LOL!

And water is wet........!

Typically, different cicadas species emerge on odd years to avoid large numbers of cicadas competing with other species for the same resources. However, all numbers will share a common denominator. It is just that some is larger than others. Some species take centuries to see each other again.

The outcome will be lots of cicadas will die before reproducing and only the strongest and smartest cicadas of each species will survive this year. This means both species will pass on the best genes of each species. Evolution at its best!

It also mean this year will be extra loud and extra creepy!

Nationwide, it is far worse than that in all industries. I know friends and friends of friends who work full-time. They have told me that their direct supervisors have told them at certain times of the year to delete overtime on certain days. They would also have to work overtime on the weekend, but they were told to report the overtime on the following Monday because weekend overtime pays a higher rate. These are the more forward thinking foreign companies ran by Japanese people.

I cannot imagine how the Japan-based Japanese companies treat their employees in these "Black companies."

They are also an unseen security risk. They can be controlled and/or destroyed. China likes to play that game!

How much of the world's communication done on the internet?

A little too late for Biden since he started getting those protest votes in places like Michigan with large muslims populations and lots of conscious young people.

He may be a Hillary Clinton 2.0 for the next presidential election.

More erratic behavior by lawyers on behalf of Don "the Con" because Judge Cannon may be removed soon, the criminal case in NY starts in 10 days, Fani Willis is still on the RICO with a revenge in her heart, and he is still on the hook for the 500 million dollars for tax evasion.

I suspect some Tesla layoffs in Austin, Fremont, and China are coming don the pipeline.

Like others have said, smart money is on hybrids until the technology improves.

1) I wonder how many people just walked past him before someone finally helped.

2) Despite the unfortunate accident, the real issue and a bigger problem is the poor ambulance services and hospitals refusing to accept ambulances with challenging situations.

How long did it take for them to reach the hospital?

What else would have been done in an ambulance in another country that could have probably stabilized the patient before arriving at the hospital that was not done in the Japanese ambulance?

Why do they not allow research to be done on the survival rate of patients enroute to the hospitals and factors that contribute to them?

There were reports that the current Kim went to Tokyo Disney Land on fake passports with his deceased father. His assassinated brother came to Tokyo Disney Land on a different occasion with a fake passport.

It seems the fault lies with Japan's incompetence regarding security.

Brazilian passports!

Japan Expels North Korean Leader's Son

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/05/04/japan-expels-north-korean-leaders-son/ed6c37be-aa3c-4081-9ebe-663e99632675/

His brother Jong-nam got caught with his family at Narita and embarrassed Kim's father and Dynasty.

He was exiled to China, and Jong Un assassinated Nam because as the oldest Kim, Jong Nam had a right to claim the thrown.

Remove the de facto embassy and NK schools from Japan; then while cutting off communication with NK, make it extremely hard for North Koreans attempting to illegally enter Japan with fake passports to make money and commit espionage (also no more secret Tokyo Disney land vacations for the Kim family).

Then lets see how long before they start shooting rockets into the sea to get Japan to come to the table.

There were reports that the current Kim went to Tokyo Disney Land on fake passports with his deceased father. His assassinated brother came to Tokyo Disney Land on a different occasion with a fake passport.

Not just false identity to work and a get salary, but also corporate espionage and potential sabotage if they using malware to steal company secrets and possibly lockout the company from their own servers.

This is just bad on so any levels for Japan. They get what they deserve when pay most IT workers and believe their roles in the company is equivalent to fast workers.

Straight to victim blaming, unbelievable. More innocent lives lost at a concert and the fangs are out with the first smell of chaos and blood, even before the smoke settles.

@Ricky - Maybe you should review the meaning of "victim blaming."

The blood of these civilians is on Putin and the Kremlin's hands, for creating such hatred towards them by their own citizens. They should be ashamed.

Putin was not a victim of the attack. He was not at the concert hall. In fact, he probably went directly to one of his bunkers once he found out.

Where is the victim blaming again?

Russia has been doing this literally for years in Ukraine and would have continued to do so and worst if Ukraine had not fought back.

I truly belief that if more physical civil unrest happens in the House due to Republican in-fighting, that Marjorie could beat Michael Johnson in a fist fight. I heard she beat-up Laura Boerbert in the ladies washroom in Washington.

Anything to be on the shortlist for the VP spot!

People and countries realize the potential. The country, company or individual to master AI will be the next global and interstellar power for at least the next 1000 years.

Hiring AI talent is challenging and competitive. You have to prove that their is plan in place to get people on board.

At the moment, Microsoft is the leader with Mustafa and Altman part of the Microsoft family and partnerships with the company Figure which already ahead of Elon's robotics unit. Nvidia's chip advantage will eventually end because Microsoft will probably team up with Intel or another viable company.

Microsoft is so invested that they have already broken ground on their own nuclear power plant to supply their AI. No other company will have the ability to generate enough power to use the full capabilities of their AI except Microsoft.

Poor Elon is so far behind that he will sell his soul to China in hopes of claiming a false supremacy.

Unfortunately for China, AI research and development has some of the highest security because of its potential. China has not been able to use corporate espionage to steal AI secrets which will be the only way they can catchup like usual.

The reality is that Trump can obtain the bond, just not on the terms he wants.

The likely problem is that Trump probably does not have any lien-free properties. Probably every one of his properties is heavily leveraged with debt.

I doubt he can ever raise half of that amount, because trump doesn't own his properties they are all mortgages with banks and other investors. according to past articles Trump owns around 10% of those properties.

Also any property sale will generate tax consequences. Uncle Sam is watching!

*Another irony about this is that the Trump admin was responsible for the rollback of Obama admin. reforms to limit civil asset forfeiture.**

https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/civil-forfeiture-trump-resurrects-an-ugly-practice-for-no-reason-14237541

Just like Trump admin was responsible for removing Obama's "dangerous infection" Unit stationed in China to observe and warn of any potential dangerous outbreaks coming from China like SARS of previous years. Once they were removed, a year later we had world pandemic.

Ironically, the former president known for not paying his bills as a business owner and business partner and calling for NATO members to pay their bills is not paying his bills in the court of law!

Tesla is the biggest S&P 500 loser this year, down even more than Boeing

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/tesla-biggest-p-500-loser-161607111.html

I wonder if Musk will also sue Business Insider.

It has dropped about 25%! I guess he hasn't checked prices since about July of last year, lol!

Apparently, it is a 29% drop.

Don Lemon Says Elon Musk Is the Most Delicate Snowflake He's Ever Interviewed

https://www.yahoo.com/news/don-lemon-says-elon-musk-201205975.html

No surprise there! Tell us something that we do not know!

Space Karen is slowly losing his sanity to a drug addiction. Everyone can see it happening. No sane person would spend $44 billion on a social media platform worth only a fraction of that number, completely saturated in fake bots, then immediately turn around and start pushing out the majority of the advertisers and real users afterwards.

"I acquired X in order to preserve freedom of speech in America, the First Amendment."

"In January, X had announced that Lemon would bring his 'unique and honest voice' to the social media company in three 30-minute episodes per week."

So, Musk will fire or sue anyone who does not tell the truth that approves!

"In the interview with Lemon, Musk defended his use of ketamine by pointing to Tesla's value as a publicly held company, suggesting that taking the drug has helped him lead the automaker."

It has dropped about 25%! I guess he hasn't checked prices since about July of last year, lol!

How long before he is blackmailed by China?

They were probably detained because something they said, falsely accused by a fellow patriot, or their refusal to help a real Chinese spy in Japan.

This professor from China like the previous examples will be more of a national threat to Japan when he returns to Japan because he will be expected to spy for the Chinese government or him and his family will face more incarceration.
