Its Bean Counter thinking. Car companies do it all the time. How much does the average lawsuit pay out? If it is less than the cost to fix the problem they just dont fix the problem.

The movie Class Action with Gene Hackman is about that.

Didn't Lee Iacocca admit as much in his autobiography when he talked about his time at Ford and the Pinto?

*Edit* Which, BTW, the Cybertrukkk is 14 times more fatal than the Pinto, but a hell of a lot less media attention.

One person they talked to as part of it emphasized the problem the tradesmen voted themselves into when he said 'at the March meeting, the union forecast 100% work through 2027 for solar field work. At the April meeting, he said there would be 50% unemployment by summer.'
 
LOLOLOLOL CNBC did a fluff piece discussing Amazon's Prime Days this week and other retailers sales and how the sales have gone so far. One stat they repeated a few times was one study has tracked 18 different categories of sales and found prices have been steadily declining for 34 straight months.

You could literally hear a lightbulb click on Joe Kernen when he cautiously asked "does that mean Jay Powell was right and inflation was going to get to two?" "Did all the tariff talk this spring screw up the landing?" "Is the administration fighting ghosts?"

Not anymore. In 2020, the world could hope we just had a lapse in judgment that got corrected. Bringing the stable genius back in and with more power means we're wholly unreliable. Even if we claw back in 2028, we'll still be kept at arms length because it's now part of us.

I think his optimism stems from a position of “the kids will save us”, not knowing that most of the young people in this country are dumb as fuck.
 
Triple post but whatever…

A lot of people in this country are desperately clinging to the hope of “return to the status quo” without realizing that “the status quo” is dead and gone.

A lot of people believe that the midterms, or the courts or something will provide the check against the “nonsense” and everything will be fine.

I do wonder what will happen to the country when enough people realize that day is not coming (if enough people ever do).
