The 10 biggest holders of TrumpCoin (roughly those who held about $250,000 or more) got an exclusive dinner with him at the White House. When this was announced the value shot up because this became a great way to get a ear with the President.

In the grand scheme of things, this is relatively cheap, campaign financing wise.

In the "grand scheme of things" this scheme is straight-up corruption.

You cannot predict whether your children will be able or willing to do a particular job. You cannot predict their aptitudes, interests, or fitness. The best you can do is help them figure out what they can or cannot do and encourage and support them to maximize their outcomes.

That's simply wrong. The vast majority of Craigslist listings are free and have been since its beginning.
Craig Newmark is one of my heros. Full stop.

P.S.: The site ranks as the 40th most popular website in the United States. It's neither useless nor unpopular. I've bought, sold and given away a ton of stuff on Craigslist. People who avoid using it are just shooting themselves in the foot. I've tried renting out our apartments on several other commercial websites and Craigslist remains my preferred platform.

Comment Re:Ford lost $19.5BN focusing on EVs (Score 1) 271

You neglected to mention that Ford's EV writedown is primarily due to very poor sales of their very expensive F150 Lightning electric truck line (bad choices here) and the costs of designing and manufacturing new plug-in hybrid designs previously lacking in their line-up (late to the party).

On the other hand...here is what Ford says of their 2025 electric vehicle sales:

Ford sold a record 85,789 electrified vehicles in the third quarter, up 19.8%. Year to date electrified sales reached 242,298 (+16.5%), outselling the estimated combined electrified sales of GM and Stellantis. Electrified vehicles represented 15.7% of Ford’s Q3 sales, up from 13.5% in Q2.

I imagine the story would have been much different had Ford only put more effort into designing and selling affordable EVs and reliable, competitive plug-in hybrid vehicles.
