    Tell a Judge in any American courtroom that you intend to represent yourself Pro Per and he will immediately explain that you should hire an attorney. That is foundational organized labor. MOD: Next such blatant violation of Mod notice gets you a ban.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I enjoy the benefits of a Union-negotiated retirement. It would indeed be hypocritical of me to criticize Unions. That said, one of the fundamental tenets of unionism is build living wages and benefits. I would never ask a worker to accept reduced wages and benefits to join a union.

    Having spent years as an inspector in West Los Angeles, I learned several irrefutable truths: 1. U.S. Presidents visit West LA frequently, Obama and Trump as well.

    Tesla’s “Master Plan” is mankind’s best reasoned remedy for climate change. I invest in the Master Plan — all these market gyrations — they are of little consequence. Yes, I realize this is an investment thread, but if we cannot remedy climate, then it is truly “hang on for dear life.” Market...
