I'm starting to think these guys might not have a plan.

Controversial

Me and a buddy carpooled to a spot we usually bike to today. Felt so wrong. And slow.

Any plan equals more certainty I think. Even if it’s a bad plan.

I mean yes.

If true, I assume markets will react positively? This seems way better than 20% flat + potential escalation.

It’s wild that we’ve never seen this type of illegality before now. At least open illegality.

Sure. But the statement above writes like Musk’s wealth won’t ever increase. It’s like saying a business doesn’t care about shareholder value because their stock drops over 3 months. It feels very short sighted.

I mean I agree with your sentiment but Econs optimize over a time horizon, not a single point in time.

Haven't studied it but my half-baked theory:
Certain professions that have higher avg hours worked are less likely to see workers return after layoffs. Retirement age tend to work at less modern companies where more hours worked are required. Recessions simply push their timeline up.
