@lathamwatkins.bsky.social is a rapacious, craven and venal firm. Of course they would rather capitulate to baseless strong arming to curry favor than stand for the rule of law. #firelathamwatkins

Despite the recent precipitous drop in Telsa share price, I’m stunned that it has only wiped out 6 months of gains. Why did the stock increase 500% in the past 5 years? Unhealthy speculation?

#starlink complains about fees and charges they face in other countries, but not in the US. So why does Starlink cost more in the US than, say, Mexico? Price gouging or market pricing? And by the way, Starlink is not US space dominance, it’s a private company Elon can take anywhere he wants.

The processing fee for a passport is $130 but there can be other costs and you have to get documents establishing your citizenship like a birth certificate and a photograph. This is the new pull tax if the SAVE act passes.
Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The #Hyundai commercial showing bikes blowing through a red light is poor judgment IMO. It plays on a trope that actually endangers bicyclists by telling car drivers that bicyclists are in the wrong. Other car drivers blow through lights more frequently than bikes and are far more deadly
