2nd amendment is a right codified in the constitution. Abortion is not in the constitution, which is what this ruling states. If congress wants to legalize abortion, then that's their job...to make laws. The supreme court does not make

Technology is iterative. Just like start-ups take years to become profitable, it might take years for a new car manufacturer to become on-par with the competition. Raising the floor impedes new competition. Regulatory capture is popular amo

He's been saying that TSLA is overvalued for a long time now. Of course he took advantage of it...he would be dumb not to (everyone else is cashing in on the overvaluations of everything). He can still admit that it's stupid.
