They're called "bankers hours" for a reason. Ain't a new thing.
Bank hours are shrinking. Online-only, AI chatbot-only banks are increasing. It's nuts and terrible.

Model S was 14 years old. Model X was 11 years old
Model 3 is 9 years old and Model Y is 6 years old. Now only a hideous new Cybertruck and aging midsize vehicles are available. Tesla stopped innovating in vehicles a long time ago.

Musk announces the end of the Model S and Model X programs, which were down nearly 50% last year.
We expect to wind down production of S and X next quarter, he says. Like every other bizarre Tesla decision, this is justified by Tesla's broader pivot away from cars and toward AI and robotics.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
