Every single person who bought Tesla stock five years ago and has been holding it is a loser. No dividends. No stock buybacks. Zero asset appreciation in five years. Meanwhile the S&P 500 index fund is up 65% over the same period.

Now that phase I of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's “250 to 250" project has wrapped, I'll share all the videos (1 per day) for which I wrote scripts. Some were recorded nearly word for word; others underwent much-needed editing for clarity & brevity. Here’s completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.

“People thought that things would change, but in reality nothing changed.” José, another fisherman who used to work for PDVSA, had a darker view: “The gringos came to rob everything—the oil, the minerals. We are rich in everything, but here, we don’t have anything.” Bu @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu

Texas family farms are struggling to survive, and young Texans are being priced out of agriculture. Hemp could help change that. It's a drought-tolerant cash crop that could bring new income to family farms, keep land in the family, and give the next generation a chance to make a living farming.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Elon Musk makes clear that he has a deeply emotional attachment to Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin and their war making against Ukraine... making clear why StarLink and StarShield abruptly failed during a Russian ballistic missile attack on Ukraine this past week.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42
