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

His constituency is coal miners and related industries. You can buy him by giving them green jobs.
With only 10,000 coal miners left in West Virginia (or 30,000 industry jobs total including support),
that shouldn't be too hard. However, under the former guy, some miners resisted retraining thinking
that king coal would make a comeback (see below). Or just write a decent pension check while
covering medical costs for lung disease.

However, Joe Manchin is not acting like that is enough -- his posture, perhaps temporary,
is that the rest of the country should suffer by not having government-supported clean electricity
at all.

Maybe that is just a negotiation tactic, but he is just one person, and there are many more
progressive Senators who have leverage over him by simply scuttling the lesser "bipartisan"
infrastructure bill to make he and his state look bad. Biden could also just use executive orders
to tilt toward clean electricity, and dare Manchin to draft a bill for Congress to overrule Biden.
That likely wouldn't work, showing that Biden ultimately has more power that one (or two) obstructionists
in his own "party".

 
rbc here we go

if i recall correctly, joe spak was not the same rbc analyst in the past.(edit - FALSE - joe spak admitted he was wrong in jan21 for his tesla call sept20 —-so never mind )

maybe they are transitioning their stance like GS did when they switched analysts coverage as well

(edit - both joseph spak and pierre ferragu possibly mic issues)
