Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
Inflation reduces returns from investment and usury but increases loan demand (and is related to other types of demand). This is basic stuff.

The dismissals come at a crucial point for the company, which is pushing to increase vehicle production five-fold and reach a broader market with its new Model 3 sedan. The electric vehicle maker missed targets for producing the lower-cost sedan, manufacturing only 260 last quarter despite a wait list of more than 450,000 customers.

quote:

He also joked to employees they would be going through “production hell” to meet demand for the new car. The company said recently a manufacturing bottleneck caused it to fall far short of its goal to produce 1,500 Model 3s in the quarter.
Ha ha, heres a little joke guys, "this company is falling apart and we going to exploit the poo poo out of you to make up for the lovely decisions of management, oh a btw he fired a bunch of people to put the fear of good into you", pretty funny right, ha

Actually thinking on it, having a big name guy like Musk come crashing down, is like exactly the sort of poo poo that can act as a trigger for a crisis of confidence, which then pops the tech bubble, leading to a crash. So if Musk goes soonish, then the 'doomsday' is happening sooner than you think

he has an interesting perspective on labor relations.

quote:

In addition to defending Tesla's record as an employer, Musk told workers that he plans to improve life at the Tesla factory, which is currently in the process of switching over its lines for production of the Model 3. For example, when the Model 3 reaches "volume production," Musk said he'll throw them "a really amazing party."

"There will also be little things that come along like free frozen yogurt stands scattered around the factory and my personal favorite: a Tesla electric pod car roller coaster (with an optional loop the loop route, of course!) that will allow fast and fun travel throughout our Fremont campus, dipping in and out of the factory and connecting all the parking lots," Musk wrote. "It’s going to get crazy good."

Also many of the people who got purged were ones who upper management noticed were handing UAW literature at work

Musk probably had temper tantrum over his worker bees not being able to be his unrealistic production schedule goals

:lol: Elon Musk is somehow a visionary and genius and yet he can't make more than 400 cars a year? Henry Ford made a car every 20 loving seconds.

Also CEOs are really big about throwing parties instead of giving people raises. My father's employer has an annual hot dog and hamburger lunch to make up for the salary freeze.

Also Musk whines about union due being a big burden on workers even though it amounts to $50-$70 a month.

Seems like a rip-off to get better benefits, higher hourly wages vs non-union workers and workplace protection...

According to Musk company insiders what he does he makes unrealistic schedules or will randomly shift schedules a few months to the left.

He believes this is good management since it encourages employees to work harder and come up with better solutions under stress.

Talking to a car is an imagination in the 1982 American drama Knight Rider X, but now, we can turn it into a fact. With our YOUXIA X motor, you are possible to give order to the car in various sentence structures to display your favorite music, send messages, make a phone call, control the air conditioner, etc. What’s more intelligent is that, it is capable of talking to you initially, for example, in case you forget to turn on the headlights it will remind you. So it is truly a motor able to talk or a friend for you!

My new doomsday economic is bitcoin again but this time it is different see what is going to happen is that bitcoiners are going to all realize simultaneously that they are participating in a shared delusion driven by their mutual need to feel like they have some control over their lives rather than being dust in the wind and this joint realization will birth the Chaos God Tzeentch who will show the bitcoiners that the real way to experience the self determination that they lust for is through militant libertarianism and so hordes of Chaos empowered libertarians will roam the countryside slaughtering all who want the government to be able to do anything except meeting once a year to agree to not do anything this year either thanks for asking
