Eh, they didn’t say “plan to build 400,000 affordable housing units”, they said “plan for 400,000 units”. The plan involves building 200,000 units, and stabilizing 200,000 existing units. That’s not really a false headline.

I didn’t disagree with Harris’s flaws. But I think you might exist in a bubble, there are a lot of dumb people in the world. I consider you very lucky if you haven’t met a significant number of people who voted purely based on sex.
Do I think they’re the majority? Definitely not. But the number of people who don’t think about Palestine even a little bit is a lot higher than you think. So is the number who think “A woman can’t be president, she’ll be too emotional and other world leaders will walk all over us”. Like I said, there are a lot of dumb people in the world. Ignoring them doesn’t make them go away.


I did, I got distracted mid comment. I edited it.


You say that, but I personally know people who voted for Trump over Harris specifically because she was a woman. I personally know people who voted for Trump over Clinton for the exact same reason.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with AOC myself and would vote for her, but to pretend that it’s a “non-issue” assumes that the average person doesn’t care. Many people do actually care, and ignoring the existence of those people is poor strategy. Maybe I’m overestimating the number of people who care, maybe not, but it is unfortunately a real concern that won’t magically go away by pretending people, as a whole, are more enlightened than that.


Maybe a tax rebate based on tread-wear of the damaged tire? If it still has 50% of the tread, you get a 50% rebate on your tire tax.


Consider yourself lucky.
I used them exactly one time. The driver brought the wrong food, the name and order weren’t even close.
Doordash refused to send a new driver, best they could offer was a credit for not even half the price. Even escalating customer service just got the credit converted to a refund, again for less than half of the charge. The rep could not explain to me what service I had received to justify keeping most of my money.


I wore a bandana pirate-style

But my hair was only shoulder length. I’d probably combine that with a bun.


I saw an interview with the sculptor (not a supporter, just a guy paying his bills). He said the “cryptobros” who commissioned it kept telling him to make it thinner.


They are diluting the value of eBay’s shares.
Kinda, but not really. Each share becomes $56 and like 2 new shares. It’s more like a fat dividend than a dilution.
You should look into Cohen’s track record before assuming it’ll go nowhere.


But you won’t think an 11% swing is particularly notable.


The debt is only $20B, even then it still works out to about where it’s trading now, so still not really dilutive. And it’s still under 50% leverage, which is honestly pretty typical for a large company. Assuming Cohen actually has a plan to boost profits, that debt isn’t particularly concerning.


Give it another 84 years, you’ll learn.


Finhle is Einkorn, buy the dip.


It only touched $28 in AH Friday. On the 4th, the high-low spread was not even 10%.


They have like $9B cash, and a note from TD for another $20B, which covers the cash half.
The stock half wouldn’t even really be dilutive, since they would add the balance sheet of eBay to their own, and eBay stock would cease to exist. There are currently something like 450M shares; assuming 1B new shares at $25B to facilitate the purchase, that’s 1.45B shares of a company with a market cap of $11B + $48B = $59B., which is roughly $40/share.


Eh, a big part of GameStop’s recent strategy has been getting into collectibles trading. eBay is one of, if not the, biggest market for collectibles, and they own TCGPlayer. That said, counterfeits and other fraud is a problem on eBay. One of the proposals is to use GameStop stores as authentication hubs, so listings can be verified.
Additionally, eBay spends a lot, arguably way too much, on marketing, not to mention bloated upper level compensation packages. Then there’s the friction of the service itself, like seller caps (ostensibly to combat fraud, but a bit overzealous).
I think there’s far too much potential for improvement to call the claim “delusional”.


It lessens it, but that’s because I’m tasting liberally while I cook.
Right? It’s such a great design, dead simple yet evocative.
