Nissan, I give 12 months at most, Renault just sold their 36% holding in Nissan and there is no new investor lined up for Nissan. They have no new products, Hybrids/EVs that the market wants. As it seems, this could be the first legacy OEM to die. Will Nissan be the First Major Car Company Bankrupcy in 12 Months? | NextBigFuture.com In regard to Stellantis, I would not touch a Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler product here or any other product overseas. They are bottom feeding terrible and the stories both here and abroad are continuing to state that the Executives have taken their bonuses on meeting certain goals and replaced quality of product with terrible quality due to lower skilled, cheaper paid work force abroad and the death of new product here due to taking the U.S. profits to shore up the rest of Stellantis and not re-investing back into the local brands. Stellantis is experiencing software issues due to lower-quality workforce - ClubAlfa Global Stellantis is struggling. Here's why - CNBC The trickle-down affect is going to be HUGE IMHO, folks thought it was bad under Biden, they are about to find out how bad it will be under Trump as he is too incompetent as a Narcissistic person who does not know how to run a business let alone a country properly. Musk is not as smart as many people think he his. He is a Marketing mouth piece who has been lucky to get smart people around him to build amazing tech that he takes credit for. If Musk wants the IRA dead, he needs to pull back the 10's of billions in oil subsidies the Feds give them. Then lets start by killing off the Space Defense agency that Trump approved, lets also kill off DOGE, plenty of places to go before you attack SS or Medicaid. Before anyone says it, Social Security is NOT an Entitlement program as much as the GOP wants the public to believe. If they kill SS, there will be many people who will be out on the street due to NOT having any income at all. Social Security benefits aren't for everyone: Who isn't eligible Good read if you never really understood who can and cannot get SS or why it is NOT an Entitlement program. Education is the best way to understand your rights. Based on their website for press releases, I have not seen anything on a new Palisade yet.

I really hope they do fail in their own incompetence as the Rich need to pay their fair share and right now letting the tax breaks for the 1% and corporations so they pay a fair share of taxes to fund the government is the right thing to do imho. House GOP faces 'fate worse than death' because of its own 'incompetence': analysis From the tech side, I get accountability, but who is going to keep the House and Senate members accountable to being in DC to do their job, right now they already take 1/3rd of the year off and many times members do not even show up to vote. Elon and Vivek Issue First DOGE Decision, And 94 Percent of Feds Will Be Hit First Interesting times we live in.

So then Tesla is pre-rusting your new Cybertruck for you! Just do not put any magnets on the truck, they rust faster that way.

WOW, that is a crazy huge train set, looks like he has it throughout his yard. Impressive for the snow plowing.

According to the news/police, the words on the bullet casings come from this book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7932991-delay-deny-defend Crazy to read this, but I am not surprised, as one who has UHC for my insurance, PPO, I have been shocked at how out of date the insurance company is in using decades old software to run insurance and the length of time it takes to pay the doctors. https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/unitedhealthcare-tells-employees The comments on this story above is interesting; Quote: You know your business is valid and moral when you have to run internal affairs like the mob

Robert, I truly hope your investments do you well to be able to live the lifestyle that you want. I tend to think that many of us that think and research and invest will have a comfortable retirement. Sadly, there are far too many that must rely on SS and if Idiot47 gets his way, SS will die fast as he with the stupid DOGE wants to make everything private, so it costs the taxpayers more. Privatize under the message that we are reducing the size of the government but will then outsource services where one will pay 3 times what it is costing now. Social Security has many changes coming January 1st 2025 and this covers all but one big important one. Social Security's Largest Changes Coming in 2025 You can read about it here if you want, but the biggest change is pushing out the date of retirement where one can claim 100% SS payout and the max payout at 70. One can start collecting reduced benefits at 62 and your stuck with it for life. Currently depending on when you were born you can get 100% payout at various ages from 65 to 67 depending on birth year. After January 1st 2025, those born 1960 and later cannot claim 100% SS to retire till the age of 68. GOP is wanting to push this to 70 with max SS at 75 or 80. Benefits Planner: Retirement | Retirement Age and Benefit Reduction | SSA Amazing what one looses by retiring too early. Benefits Planner: Retirement | Born in 1960 or later | SSA While I should not need it, it will make life easier for me and what i can do for the grand kids and I love my work, so I can see working till 70 or beyond if possible. But here is what one gets when you delay taking SS. Delayed Retirement | Born in 1960 | SSA

It is amazing that they have him on camera at starbucks and other places as they have been able to identify him via his cloths and face mask, yet no face exposure from drinking his starbucks? Seems very weird. He was paid $23 plus million last year and was to make $10 million more than that for 2024. He was running United Healthcare that earned $74 billion last year and has come to be known as one of the strictest insurance companies to get approval for service. Seems if they can find a way to not pay for a service, they will. I just learned that my PT place I have gone to in the past I cannot use as they will not accept the insurance due too to low of payment. Crazy UPDATE Now it will just be a matter of time as they have captured pictures of the killer on camera at various places as he waited for the United Healthcare CEO.

Seems Tesla is losing out to smaller rivals as Tesla is not moving fast enough under contract to install chargers, as such, Oklahoma state voted to replace Tesla with EVgo as the major Fast Charger installer along the state major highways. Tesla replaced by much smaller rival in EV charging project

Exciting to see Rivian leading in that all EVs are welcome at their charging locations and you do not have to have the app installed to use it, much like a regular gas station, tap to pay is all one has to do. Rivian's Fancy New Charging Outposts Will Be Open To All EVs

Sadly, with many Americans living longer due to better health care, it could take 3 to 4 decades to normalize what was considered Taboo for most of the 1900's. The sad part is why do people really care; they should be focused on themselves and not attempting to tell others how to live their life. Boomers seem to be very much hung up on telling others how to live, one reason I no longer speak to my own parents. My wife and I are living our best life now and are part of our kid's life as we help with the grandkids, but DO NOT tell them how to live their life's. We want to be a part of their life, but respect that as adults, they are responsible for their own decisions and actions. Sadly, too many parents I see today still seem to think that once their kids are past 26, they need to control their lives when in reality, they need to focus on themselves. I have come to realize that one's kids will want you in their life when you respect their decisions and choices. Respect is an earned thing and sadly Idiot47 and his MAGA crowd seems to think dictatorship of being told what, when and how is the way of life. This is a Failure Point, and it will not stop Humanity from moving forward. I respect what my grandfather's taught me / showed me through actions. Fight for one's freedom and our countries freedom, respect that each of us will have our own view and discuss through civil discussions so that we can come to a mutual agreement that is best for all. Once one tries to push a singular agenda on all, they have failed, and rebellion will happen. South Korea is a perfect example of what is happening after two years of electing in a dictator wanna be who attempted to use martial law to take over the country.

Good solid cover with a nice harmonizing of the lyrics by the two ladies. Good, enjoyable. The original still stands strong!

@oldshurst442 @ccap41 Thought you would get a laugh out of this. I just got off the phone with a director in my company. She was just madder than hell and we never did talk about what the meeting was originally scheduled for, instead she had to vent and knew I would listen without interrupting her. Long story short, she is a single mother of 3 kids, her youngest who is out of college, has yet to find a job and she admits she pampers him too much, informed her that he voted for Trump cause trump would bring all the jobs back to America for the young folks and kick out illegals to ensure they get jobs. Woman would know their place in the kitchen and supporting the kids of the family. She asked him if he understood what he just told her since at the age of 8 she has been supporting him ever since his dad walked out to go live with a younger woman. Does he understand that a Woman has been supporting him in all he does even now? She then said since you think my place is in the kitchen, you can start playing me rent and if you want to eat, then there is a food fee, cleaning fee, cooking fee, etc....... On top of this, she said do you even understand what racism is? While you were born here in America, you are Hispanic by heritage, something Trump has trashed on many times. He left the house and she does not know when he will be back, but she is fine with changing the locks as she is thinking of doing. 🤪

It is very sad that young are lazy and have taken the easy way out of just listening to hate filled people rather than thinking for themselves. One benefit of higher education is one would hope that a person gains critical thinking skills, but sadly they do not always get it. I have seen the same thing here in youth, crazy how the liberal side gave everything to their kids to only have them turn around and ignore how they got what they got and go down the stupid rabbit hole if idiot right wing agendas. We are in very interesting times; I am hoping the next 4 years can survive with stagnation before growing again with new younger better prepared leadership.

December 19th, PlayStation will launch a new Aliens first person shooter game based on Alien Romulus movie. Looks good.

I bet if you look at the people who are hating on Trudeau, they are all boomers and wanting to go back to the 60's of what they think is a Golden age. Sadly, there is no Golden age except as written in history books, humanity always moves forward as seniors stop learning and stop living in the current here and now, as well as build for the future. I am hoping like what has happened in South Korea, that after two years of stupid ultra conservative dictator wanna be hell, that we kick out MAGA, demand he resign or impeach him and put him where he belongs in Jail and we move forward.

Hyundai has issued a press release that the IONIQ 9 has entered production at their Metaplant in Ellabell, Georgia. HMGMA Reveals 2026 IONIQ 9 as Newest Production Vehicle - Hyundai Newsroom

The Hyundai XCIENT hydrogen fuel-cell Class 8 heavy-duty trucks will transport vehicle parts from HMGMA suppliers across the region to the Megasite on a daily basis. During the initial rollout, XCIENT trucks will transport parts between suppliers and the on-site Consolidation Center and later these logistics will expand to a broader network of suppliers. The 21 XCIENT vehicles will represent more than one-third of the Glovis America truck fleet at HMGMA. Jim Park, SVP, commercial vehicle and hydrogen business development stated the following:  “This is delivering on our strategy and vision to showcase a closed-loop hydrogen logistics ecosystem and improve the environmental sustainability of manufacturing operations.” HTWO Logistics, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Company and Glovis America, will also install a mobile hydrogen refueling station at the Megasite for efficient refueling. A hydrogen production and refueling station is being developed for the Megasite and will be announced at a later date. Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) is Hyundai Motor Group’s first dedicated Electric Vehicle mass-production plant. It is located in Bryan County, GA. The new plant will boast a highly connected, automated, and flexible manufacturing system, which organically connects all elements of the EV ecosystem to realize customer value. The Georgia facility will become an intelligent manufacturing plant. All processes of production—order collection, procurement, logistics and production—will be optimized utilizing AI and data. The innovative manufacturing system will also help create a human-centered work environment with robots assisting human workers. The Hyundai XCIENT fuel cell trucks are seen here unloading at the Port of Brunswick, Georgia in September 2024. View full article

Interesting is that the average age of Maga, 65 years old with more than 65% retired means most of these people are going to die off over this decade, so a change is coming no matter what. Agree, I was not happy with my AC Delco parts either, so this last time I went with a bit more expensive and rust preventive rotors. Zinc plated rotors from here seem to have been really good so far.

Interesting read on what could happen next year here in the U.S. South Korea’s Warning for Washington

This has me cracking up today. He did a great job on pushing back against the MAGA Morons.

@oldshurst442 This story would imply that China just Bought Trump! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/crypto-mogul-who-ate-a-6-2-million-banana-gives-trump-an-18-million-payday/ar-AA1vchzY?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=b60e3238d38c4360c2bbcb1e2f148b2b&ei=45

That would be a great commercial comparison that would be nice to see. I did find this one video review where they compare Rivian, Chevrolet and Ford electric vans from their websites.

Yes, I read the story and am so happy that he shot himself in the foot and will not get his $56 Billion dollar pay day that he feels he deserves as he created Tesla, WRONG, he did not, He Created everything as the God he believes he is in his little mind. According to the web, he created X.com a online digital pay system that predated Google transactions but was struggling due to people feeling the X.com was an adult web site. You can read the whole story here, if it was not growing up in a wealthy family in south africa and then coming to america illegally and getting help to stay and start his company, he would never have been what he is now and yet he hates illegals. Go figure. Here is how he got started. Did Elon Musk Create PayPal?

Freedom is never free, both of my grandfathers who fought in WWII and were drill sergeants at camp Pendelton till they retired always told me that every man has the responsibility to stand up to people who wish to take away the freedom of our fellow citizens. One must never give up defending the constitution of our country and the rights for equality for all humans. I will always do my best to defend everyone and fight against the Narcissistic fascist individuals who wish to belittle those they do not consider human. All humans have a right to live free and without fear of persecution by hate filled racist thinking. Hopefully Idiot47 will go six feet under sooner rather than later.
