You really have to have your head in the sand to not recognize DOGE for what it is. A dismantling of government to siphon wealth and power to the ultra-rich. It's straight up theft from the working and middle class.

Tesla did one good thing: it brought hype to the EV market. Now that many major car manufacturers have caught on, Tesla brings nothing to the table. And with Elon heading it, those who are in the market for EVs wisely do not trust the compa

I believe there are updates to this news. He was eventually released following a lot of international coverage and pressure - shame it happened at all to begin with. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/25/nx-s1-533952

This is a repeated theme with every business right now. Nearly every product both tangible and intangible will go up in price. Our services are dependent on a global supply chain. The believe that US manufacturing will rise to the occasion
