All true. But I’ve looked up what it will take for me to get REAL ID in CA and I suspect lots of people won’t make the deadline. Enough to force another postponement. Sorry! i think I saw a birth certificate around here somewhere. https://t.co/gFNdCrEgEW

So why didn’t Obama speak up then when Biden was opening the border? He had 4 years. Would have saved his party. https://t.co/PvvcpeCqM8

That seems v-weak for what NYT calls “the best-selling electric vehicle that was not a Tesla.” PS Hard to believe it was that. What about KIA & Hyundai EVs? I see more of them than Mustangs. https://t.co/rF5Ls4Z1R7

So for every one Chevy Equinox GM sold, Tesla sold 33 Teslas. I would say the story is that GMs cars are not eating up market share the way some had expected. PS The @nytimes doesn’t even give the numbers for the electric Ford Mustang.

“Tesla U.S. Sales Plunge as G.M. and Others Make Gains”. Hmm. Let’s look at the actual numbers. Tesla sold 337,000 vehicles in the quarter. But “Car buyers are moving away from Teslas and toward models like [GM’s] Chevrolet Equinox.” Equinox sold 10,300 https://t.co/Yog41WFb8m

It’s not a question of Congress ‘getting its act together.’ Congress was designed to be unable to get its act together quickly. Fixing it would require much stronger party control, fewer self-promoters, something that’s the rare exception rather than the rule in US history, no?

Agree. At the end he offers 2 options (if Trump fails to attract enough “vassals:) 1) Abandon reserve currency & strong dollar 2) Keep strong dollar but resign US to buying crucial manufactured goods abroad instead of making them here (i.e. strong dollar means we could never https://t.co/psRymZIbcc

So many parts of our government move too slowly. The APA agencies move too slowly. Congress moves way too slowly. (Imagine trying to pass Trump’s nation-by-nation tariffs with all the ordinary lobbying, etc. A “cluster.”) I think that’s why reactions against Trump’s “emergency” https://t.co/D9VtaCVlZh
