  • From what I heard at the dealership yesterday, the grid here is “struggling to keep up” as a result. I don’t know how true that is, but he did talk me out of spending several thousand dollars on a faster charger for my bike (6kw -> 12kw), claiming it would actually charge slower since it can’t negotiate at peak rate pretty much anywhere in the state.

    I would usually be more sceptical, but this guy is paid on commission and basically talked himself out of a bigger paycheck.




  • People calling this plain ole market manipulation are missing the forrest for the trees. The bond market tells the tale, there was a concerted effort to bleed US bonds and drive the price down, which is why Trump blinked. None of his tax plans can come to fruition if no one will buy US debt, they were just too stupid and shortsighted to see this coming, hence the reversal.

    Next time I’m not sure we will get so lucky. For the next “90 days”, Peter Navarro and morons like him will be downplaying the selloff to Trump, which will embolden him to ride it out no matter what happens.
