That Archie Goodwin's true crime stories of Nero Wolfe's detective work never sold remotely as well (he had to keep his day job) as Rex Stout's identical novels is proof that fiction is more popular than fact.

Sure. They can start accusing Mandami of not calling out the National Guard in DC on Jan 6.
Because a NYC community organizer had the same authority to do that as the Speaker did.

Despite denials, this doesn't look good for Lavrov. I don't imagine Putin's about to end the Ukraine war and just blame it on Sergey, but I could see Putin deciding he needs to negotiate an end to it before Ukraine destroys his energy infrastructure. Which SL would hate.

I suppose if I were a Telsa shareholder with no scruples but a some brain cells, I might vote in Elon's pay package to prevent a stock crash on Friday but start unwinding my position while the stock is still at the crazy mulliple.

What ought to scare Tesla shareholders about the Elon package targets, besides the right of the docile board to decide to ignore meeting those goals, is that theyre based on raw numbers of robots, FSD packages etc without regard to whether Tesla is making any money.

Tesla stock used to help employees. Now it can’t, because Elon took it all.
Among the vote on Elon's $1trillion stock award, less attention has been paid to how he drained Tesla's employee share pool for himself alone.

How about a 4 stop?
