Under what circumstances does being hit from behind result in liability to the lead vehicle. It's the responsibility of the vehicle behind you to keep appropriate distance. This sounds like you're regurgitating their talking points like a bot.

Like those kindergartens.

These articles are speculative on the cause. I don't see any data on the supply increases.

Some of these cities, didn't increase supply. For example San Francisco saw similar decreases it they offer to exploration there.

The rents decreases are year over year but are flat over a two or three period of time, it's just as likely the rent increases were a bubble that popped and not because of some unspecified change in supply.

It's one thing to build a house and sell it, it's another to build it for the sole purpose of renting it at peak market rate.

Corporations use to build company towns and rented them at higher rates than they paid the workers.

People fought to stop this but there are always people who insist on relearning these lessons the hard way.

Correct. In capitalism one must profit off the necessities of life.

Also, when you buy a house, the cost of the mortgage is locked in...assuming you don't do an adjustable rate mortgage which were never designed for long term homeownership.

Google's death spiral will take a while but it's clearly circle the drain.

It will likely never completely die the same way IBM never died but it will stop being the desired placed for new graduates.

His only talent is convincing the wealthy to invest in his schemes. I don't understand how he does it, hearing him speak is painful.

He got lucky with Tesla becoming a meme stock.

SpaceX is being run by a competent engineer while its competitor, Blue Origin is being run by a megalomaniac. This is possibly Musks only competent move in business.

The rest of his ventures have been failures. To any one not blinded by greed, it's clear he long ago peaked. He's playing a shell game now but people will happily invest hoping luck will strike again.

if it can’t reach deals with generative AI companies to pay for its data.

He's shifted further right over the past decade.

During covid it became clear he had moved beyond right of center.

Going against his own union is the final step in this journey.
