This is some 1930s Germany rhetoric by Greg Bovino. He’s claiming that Alex Pretti was killed because he made the choice to listen to politicians and journalists who vilified ICE after they murdered Renee Good. Bovino warns the media that there’s consequences if they say bad things about ICE

I mean yeah the model S and 3 were genuinely cool advancements. Still haven’t replaced ICE cars Dropping launch costs is also HUGE, getting reusable rockets is absurdly good. But I’ve read the S-1 and SpaceX thinks it’s an AI company with some rocket bullshit and an ISP
Yeah, maybe they shouldn't have pulled her through the ICE grinder. She only came forward with this after being deported to Brazil.
This. The suggestion by one poster here that Intel would be a better play is akin to saying ICE powered cars are the future. Sometimes you’ve just got to look around you.
One thing that is hard to measure that I think Rivian has really excelled with is their branding. No other EV outside of early Tesla has done this. Lucid doesn’t seem to really have an identity (unless expensive and unreliable is an identity). Every ICE manufacturer that has tried to make an EV just feels like they can’t get away from their ICE branding. Rivian has really done an awesome job finding a brand niche and rolling with it. It differentiates them from all these other auto manufacturers who just churn out whatever they think will make them the most money in the shortest amount of time. Their charging outposts, Rivian spaces, paint color names, etc are all consistent with their brand. They also seem to be involved with the community in a way that no other vehicle manufacturer is. From what I’ve seen they seem to hold events at their Rivian spaces that are family focused and engaging. Really hoping they make it through R2 with minimal setbacks because I think they can really excel over the next several years.
I’ve got some ICE for a good PRICE. It sure is NICE, no MICE and free of LICE.
Doo doo mega doo doo, ICE $SPCE 🚀is the way
oh wow so funny i forgot to laugh. lets send this gentleman to our ICE bros to show them how funny this guy is 🤌🥭
Stephen is probably an ICE goon
Idk why ICE would seem dystopian in particular Most countries have immigration laws and enforcement
I'm not American, but I keep track of world news and the things about ICE really feel kind of eerily dystopian for me. I'm from a country that the government still subsidizing the petrol or diesel to the citizens but the foreigners are paying the market price. Not sure for how long the government can hold the subsidy, inflation is low or moderate here. People still drive on the roads like there are no international crisis. Though many people criticising the government, as always, but they did introduced a subsidize system at every pump station through our ID card last year to curb smuggling of oil through borders.
ICE serves as an outlet of for left wing outrage while satisfying right wing. In other words it gives the people who love to moan something to moan about, and the people that want this done the illusion that they’re getting what they want. I’m not sure if the timings for ICE deportations are coincidence or not but your point about civilian life in America being the matrix is true, and californication brought it to the rest of us.
Yeah it’s a funny thing Look at the timing of ICE deporting people and when Obama used ICE to deport people and then the subsequent conflict escalations too
People find my blogs posted from 3 years ago worried about the over heated economy from low interest rates could trigger a correction. Right now with a controllable situation in Iran not too many future hurdles are pending. I feel opposite than 3 years ago. Our commander-in-chief loves to spend tax payers on his pet projects. These companies who do business will benefit from this administration even more. Missiles, Ballroom, Triumph tower construction. Looked the profit AI service provider gave to Pentagon all that AI tool shot an elementary school killed 156 civilians with 120 children in middle east. Not one accidental but multiple missiles invoked by these ill conceived tool using garbage dated data fire as it wants. If you research farther you can find a sector that will benefit these public companies. In our area it seems to target an ICE jail project near a factory outlet.

Yes, but some are ok with Pelosi doing it because it’s not Trump. If Biden were up there saying what Trump says about stocks, it would be ok with them. If Biden did what Trump did with ICE, they’d be praising/congratulating him for his work on immigration. It’s just Trump. It’s not the actual issue at hand. I am a moderate and did not favor Biden; however, I think he did do some good while in office. Same with Trump. Both have fooked up a bunch of stuff but both have done some good. I believe regardless of who’s up top, they only really care about their circle/s and own interests, not the good of the American people. We all need to use common sense and try and come together as a country/people. You can be friends with people that have differing views. Until we can all realize that, I don’t have much hope for us.
"One day, right here in Marcy, right before our very eyes, will be a company with so much business! How much business? Too much! Forget about EVs, the empty conveyer belts, the empty parking lot, because we are talking about Artificial Intelligence! We are talking ICE vehicles in every single parking space with young men off to work for good man Wolfspeed! They should have built all of it even bigger! And for a limited time you can buy, thats right, you can actually own a piece of the action! As of today, Wolfspeed is generously discounting their shares at a -$3.26 loss for every share sold! You heard me right! The good men at Wolfspeed are helping good people like yourselves by giving away earnings on the dollar for every share sold! And you have got to lock in today because tomorrow, next week, next year, no one knows when, the boys at the bank are going to come down here and try to sell all you good folks even more shares. But ya know what the problem is? Those shares wont be worth nearly as much then as they are worth right now! You heard me right. And so you have got to act fast and buy today while they are valuable!"
You got too much tech exposure. If it is like another 2022 or dips expect your portfolio shrunk -10%. You are also ill prepared for 2nd phase of AI growth. Plenty of choices including data center construction and energy sector. You should look for some middle eastern financial stocks. UAE, India etc for diversification. I also notice you have zero exposure in energy, materials. Every day one sees the stellar gas price it does not trigger you something. That being said, I definitely will reduce my Google go into a sector you missed out. Hints: Private companies charge arm and a leg for anything for govt project. Feds is spending like they will not run out of money. The private jail stocks are doing as good as they can be. ICE will not stop and these have almost tripled because of newer policy. If you can find out who is building White House Ball room and Triumph tower and if they are public.
Afterwards they're using it as an ICE detention facility
Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) had a killer Q1 with all this geopolitical uncertainty, but the market isn’t convinced. I don’t think uncertainty over oil prices or interest rates is going to pass anytime soon, which grow volumes of derivatives. They’re also in AI in different ways with all the data they’re collecting. If it’s not going to moon, I can guarantee with 100 % certainty it’s also not going anywhere. If you almost literally own Wall Street (they own NYSE) you’re kinda set on the risk side. It’s not like big companies are going to buy their oil using some startup website.

Honestly though Aaon RTUs are dogshit We have two at one of my hubs and they are constantly needing repair or hard reset Trane, Liebert, and ICE wall mounts make up the our remaining HVAC units and they run solid
Cancelled my surprise trip to las vegas for my wife. Her dream was to eat at Hells kitchen and i had everything planned for our anniversary, the second i heard ICE runs airports now i cancelled immediately.
ICE won't let anyone into the U.S. 😭 Also, now no one wants to go anyways because of it.
I charge at home while I sleep ... Plugging in the car is no different than plugging in an iPhone. I waste no time on charging in my day-to-day life. Sure, charging does take longer than filling up on a road trip, but after I've driven 200 miles ... I likely need to pee, might want to eat, and it's certainly healthier to take a break to walk around for 15 minutes anyway. The amount of time I need to walk to a rest area, pee, and come back, is likely enough to get me enough charge to get to my destination in most road trip situations - it's very very rare to drive >300 miles in a day. And even for those cases ... It's not healthy to sit on your ass for multiple hours on end - so the 'advantage' for faster refueling on road trips is honestly pretty minimal in reality... The break is better. In my house, we have both an ICE (6 speed manual sports car), and a Tesla EV. Both my wife and I prefer the EV for long road trips, and really only use the ICE for fun local trips.
>Edit: it also gave it tailpipes so it’s not perfect lol and the last guy had a grille, AI's are stupid plagiarism machines, you asked it to make it look like a Ferrari and so it copied what Ferrari's look like, and before the Luce all Ferrari's had ICE engines.
Not saying you automatically can with every chassis, but lots of manufacturers do (e.g. the Puegot 302e). It does often mean that you lose a lot of space inside as the chassis is designed for an ICE set up
Electric cars are to ICE cars what quartz watches are to mechanical ones. The sort of folks spending $$$ on already very finicky and unnecessary auto like Ferrari / Lamborghini etc aren’t doing so because they want a generic experience that runs the same regardless if it’s a golf cart or a 5,000,000 USD one-of, they’re doing it because they want finesse and craftsmanship and something truly extraordinary from an engineering standpoint. Ferrari especially attracts a certain type of buyer, thinking this demographic would ever be excited or engage in an EV model is just marketing ineptitude IMO. Idk if they got high on their own supply or if they’re just stupid but this was absolutely not the direction this company should be pursuing.
I saw a theory that Ferrari is basically telling the EU, see we tried to make an EV but it just didn’t sell well. No idea why! We are Ferrari, we must sell ICE cars. Forza Ferrari! ❤️🐎
Yip, I used to follow the Minnesota Timberwolves, I had no choice but to block it after the ICE stuff, it went full rampage, the only time a player was even mentioned was to "we need to waive this guy he hasn't spoken out which means he's a fascist "
As long as you don't want the fastest sports cars, then you can avoid EVs. If you're leaning luxury then ICE still has it. Just expect to be smoked by a Tesla when you puff up at a red light lol.
ICE and military spending out of control, its gonna be way worse.

I once got to visit the viewing gallery of the International Petroleum Exchange in London (now fully electronic ICE Futures). There were three rings of open outcry trading, it looked pretty much like this and I had literally no clue what was going on.
I have owned Tesla's since 2018, I've had multiple models (prior to that I've owned many ICE vehicles all the way back to 1998). I currently have a Model S and X, both have unlimited lifetime free supercharging and FSD. I have also had multiple friends and a family member buy a Tesla after being in mine. Neither myself or anyone I know bought these vehicles as a political statement in either direction, we just like the cars. Objectively speaking I have used every iteration of autopilot and FSD in these vehicles for the past 7+ years, and I can tell you with certainty FSD 14 with AI4 hardware is incredible. I have at least a couple thousand miles using various versions of FSD, both on long trips and in everyday driving, and while V12 and prior were decent and did an OK job, V13 was a massive step change better and V14 became even more human-like in it's driving behavior, and allowed for you to 100% of the driving from getting in to parking at wherever the destination is. Is it perfect? No, you will intervene sometimes because you don't like decisions it's making, in terms of lanes, or navigation or parking. Do you feel safe when using it? Yes. My wife was afraid to use it until V13 because it was a bit unnerving for her, now she uses it all the time because it feels natural. My 70+ year old inlaws have a Model Y and they also use FSD 14 and love it, and given how they normally drive (especially at night) I personally think they're safer driving with FSD. I will probably still be downvoted or labeled biased, but that's at least my attempt at giving you and earnest perspective on it.
I don't know why they don't understand this. So you are heading to work one day and ICE pulls you over in your car. You show them your driver's license and say it is fake. Then they throw you in a camp. "But I am a US citizen" "No you aren't" "But I can prove it!" "No you can't" "I know my rights! I have the right to due process!" "We said you are not a citizen, and therefore you have no due process." "But I" "No" Gets shipped out of the country.
Dude, even us people outside of the U.S. can see it crumbling. Surging cost of living in fuel, food and hospital bills. ICE everywhere scaring this shit out of innocent people, the place is hell on earth, it's just your very thick rose tinted glasses that obscure the flames of reality.
Have to wonder if anyone can apply and they won’t even check it and everyone just gets money for applying. Look at how they do ICE reviews. These are not smart people.
Is the MIB just the space version of ICE If you watch the movie, Agent K and Agent J are literally going around harassing foreign citizens and asking them for their legal paperwork
Isn't ICE making bets on which people are going to kill themselves next? So yeah, if these pieces of shit are betting on human lives, then it makes sense they're going out of their way to make life extra hellish on their "bet" so they can win. America is dead. Trump and the Republicans and Conservatives in this country murdered it. We will never recover from this like Germany did because the people in charge who are doing this do not thing they are doing anything wrong. They will never apologize. They will never say sorry.
Statistics show self driving is much safer compared to humans driving...that also goes for car fires. Much more common in ICE cars.
I agree that when he talks about these sci-fi stuff it seems impossible. He's been doing this since the beginning. He talked about landing and reusing rocket boosters, providing Internet from space (like Google's balloon but better), EVs that can replace your ICE car that is faster, safer, and can be your daily driver, a car that can drive itself, a person controlling things with just their brain, and transition to a pure sustainable source of energy. He and the people he inspired that works with him got these mostly done now. The things he's talking about now like robots, data centers in space, robot cars for everyone, Internet for everyone, universal high income, etc. seems impossible, but they deliver something close, we are still better.. I don't agree with him as a person with his antics in politics, the cave-rescue shenanigans, impregnating a lot of women and not marrying them and stuff. But as a software engineer and someone who works in tech, he's doing really good and I'm excited to see how far we can progress in my lifetime.
You wanna chuckle? The whole ICE warehouse thing was just a real estate scheme to defraud the US government. Fuck they are good.
Some of the concerns for the charging infrastructure haven't kept up with reality, Most population centers are well equipped to handle demand particularly since Tesla stations have been made available. Most owners charge at home and many larger gas stations, public facilities, hotels and apartment completes have been adding charging stations. The political climate has downplaying the benefits and demand has suffered. Europe has been able to extend their energy concerns because of their continued alternative investments. Granted that won't last long but it does demonstrate that under the right leadership alternative energy could dramatically accelerate here as well. The downsides are still there. An EV is more expensive than a similar ICE particularly since the loss of the credits. But the cost of ownership is a small fraction of and ICE or even a hybrid which more than offsets the price differential. The manufacturing complexity and resulting costs of an EV, other than battery costs are much lower than an ICE. One of the larger challenges we have today is energy. The current politics is making a case for fossil fuels but its just a matter of time before the realization returns that it needs to be supported by alternatives. If I look at some of the moves over the last week I am planning to jump back in,
Regardless of the outcome, a lot of people stopped (myself included) stopped shopping at Home Depot because of their collaboration with ICE. If they maintained revenue over time, it's likely because prices have become inflated due to bad fiscal policy and Americans continuing to spend like there's no recession coming. I'll shop at a local hardware store, or if I need to, Lowe's.
Regenerative braking? You don't actually make unless you have solved perpetual motion, but it's less wasteful than with ICE
"We have to believe it's possible" he said, with his back against the wall, staring down a line of ICE agents with rifles aimed at his chest. Yeah man... I mean, technically anything's possible. But I think fascism's come home to roost. You guy's kinda missed your chance to do anything about it when you let January 6th go completely unpunished.
Yeah that’s when I threaten ICE on them
sure, but he can send in the marines or bomb whatever is left of their oil producing capacity. Besides, the longer everyone is talking about Iran the longer they don't talk about the Epstein files or the latest murders conducted by ICE agents.
You think having ICE parked outside home depot may hurt sales? 🤔
Either to the moon or intergalactic ICE ie deep freeze (so really bad.)
this why regulatory capture is a bad thing. SEC, FCC, EPA, CDC, FBI, CIA, DHS, ICE, ATF (most likely by merger with FBI)
With all this volatility in the energy market and rates being anyone’s guess under the new Fed, I feel like ICE’s great Q1 might turn into a great year, assuming we don’t see a full on recession. Hard for me to see oil futures not being used in a geopolitical situation like this. Also their mortgage business is finding its feet.
He is not a bit rough about the edges. He is mean, arrogant and beyond incompetent. He started a war with Iran because HE said that Iran has nuclear weapons. Yeah right, and Irak had weapons of mass destruction, according to Bush. He took out the food stamps, health care and increased the funding for ICE and Homeland Security in a while the American public is struggling. He is running the economy the same way he ran his casinos…we all know the outcome.

ICE MAN isn’t Just a meme
they will probably delete as ai so copy here to have data # The current unemployment rate is misleading. Temp help employment is down 21.4%. This signal has preceded every US recession since 1990. Here is what the data actually shows. TLDR and Sources at the End The headline U-3 unemployment rate is 4.3% as of April 2026 (FRED: UNRATE), and most financial headlines call it a "strong labor market." It is not. The number is technically accurate but economically misleading in ways that matter for policy, markets, and anyone trying to figure out where we actually are in the cycle. This post breaks down what U-3 misses, why the current distortions are severe, and what to look at instead. HOW U-3 ACTUALLY WORKS To be counted as unemployed in U-3, you must meet three conditions simultaneously: you do not have a job, you have actively looked for work in the past 4 weeks, and you are available to start a job. If you stop looking (because you are discouraged, or went back to school, or are driving rideshare to make rent), you are removed from both the numerator and the denominator. You cease to exist in the statistic. The BLS also publishes U-6, which includes discouraged workers, marginally attached workers, and involuntary part-time workers (people who want full-time work but can only find part-time). U-6 currently sits at 8.2% (FRED: U6RATE, April 2026), nearly double the U-3 figure. The gap between U-3 and U-6 has widened to 3.9 percentage points. A widening U-3 to U-6 spread is a classic late-cycle signal: employers cut hours and shift workers to part-time before they start cutting headcount outright. Note: the gap was wider during the 2008-2009 crisis (over 7 points) and briefly during COVID. The current 3.9 point gap is elevated relative to mid-cycle norms, not an all-time extreme. This design limitation has always existed. In normal times the gap between U-3 and economic reality is modest. Right now it is not. WHY THIS CYCLE IS WORSE Several factors are artificially compressing the headline number beyond what the standard U-3 limitation would produce: 1. The temp help collapse Temporary help employment (FRED: TEMPHELPS) peaked at 3,161,400 in March 2022 and has fallen to 2,485,100 as of April 2026. That is a decline of 676,300 jobs, or 21.4 percent. Temp help is widely considered among the best leading indicators of recession by economic researchers. It peaks 6 to 18 months before every downturn because businesses cut temps first, then part-timers, then full-timers. The current decline has been underway for over two years and has not reversed. For context: during the 2008 financial crisis, temp help fell 33.9 percent from peak (May 2006: 2,654.3K) to trough (June 2009: 1,753.8K). The current decline is about two-thirds of that magnitude. (Source: FRED TEMPHELPS, author calculation.) This is a red signal that the headline unemployment rate completely misses. Also, many former temp workers do not show up as "unemployed" in U-3. They drift into gig work or drop out of the labor force entirely. The temp collapse signals real labor market deterioration that U-3 masks by design. 2. Labor force shrinkage When people leave the labor force entirely, they are no longer counted in the unemployment rate. Since January 2025, immigration enforcement has removed a significant number of people from the BLS survey frame. DHS reports more than 675,000 formal deportations in President Trump's first year, plus an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations, totaling nearly 3 million people who left the country (DHS press release, January 20, 2026). The lower-bound ICE-only formal removal count is 442,637 for fiscal year 2025 per ICE data reported by Axios (April 2026). Important disclaimer on these numbers: independent trackers show substantially lower figures. TRAC at Syracuse University reports 290,603 formal ICE removals from January 2025 through November 2025, only 7 percent above FY2024 levels under Biden. The DHS self-deportation estimate of 2.2 million cannot be independently verified and the methodology for it has not been publicly disclosed. The true labor force impact from immigration enforcement is somewhere in this wide range, and readers should treat all figures as disputed. This mechanically lowers the unemployment rate because a shrinking labor force denominator masks any simultaneous layoffs. If you remove people from the labor force, unemployment falls even if zero new jobs are created. This is arithmetic, not politics. The exact impact on U-3 is impossible to calculate because we do not know the employment status of every person who left. But the direction is unambiguous: hundreds of thousands of working-age adults have exited the survey frame. That compresses the unemployment rate independently of actual labor market health. The overall labor force participation rate sits at 67.0 percent (FRED: LNS11300001, April 2026). The prime-age (25-54) participation rate is 83.8 percent (FRED: LNS11300060), which appears healthy. But the composition underneath matters: the participation rate is propped up by women and older workers staying in the workforce longer, often out of financial necessity rather than genuine labor demand. This masks softening at the margins where recessions start. 3. The gig economy classification problem Millions of drivers, delivery workers, and freelancers count as "employed" in the BLS household survey even when their net earnings fall below minimum wage after expenses. The BLS does not capture declining hourly earnings among the self-employed in the unemployment rate. You can drive 50 hours a week for a rideshare platform, net well under minimum wage after gas and vehicle costs, and you are "employed" under U-3. The quality of employment has deteriorated in ways the headline number cannot detect. 4. The quits rate has collapsed The JOLTS quits rate (FRED: JTSQUR) peaked at 3.0 percent in November 2021 and has fallen to 2.0 percent as of March 2026. People do not voluntarily leave jobs when they cannot find better ones. A falling quits rate signals low labor market confidence, but it does not affect the unemployment rate at all. This is one of the cleanest tells: a healthy labor market has churn. Workers leave for better pay. A scared labor market has people clinging to whatever they have. The quits rate is telling you the latter. 5. Real wages are under pressure for most people Average hourly earnings for all private employees grew from $36.12 in April 2025 to $37.41 in April 2026, a nominal gain of 3.6 percent (FRED: CES0500000003). That sounds adequate until you adjust for actual inflation faced by the bottom 60 percent of earners. The CPI basket weighting understates housing and food costs for lower-income households, meaning real wage growth for most workers is flat to slightly negative. People are employed but not gaining ground. This is a labor market quality signal U-3 cannot capture. Disclaimer: real wage analysis depends heavily on which inflation measure you use. By headline CPI, workers may show modest real gains. By a bottom-60-percent weighted basket, the picture is worse. There is no single definitively correct measure. 6. The personal saving rate has cratered The personal saving rate (FRED: PSAVERT) has fallen to 3.6 percent as of March 2026. This is down from 4.5 percent in January 2026 and well below the long-term average. Consumers have exhausted pandemic-era savings and are now running on fumes. Combined with $5.14 trillion in consumer credit outstanding (FRED: TOTALSL, March 2026), households have very little buffer. A labor shock would cascade quickly into defaults. note on credit card delinquencies: the rate has actually declined from its 3.22 percent peak in Q2 2024 to 2.94 percent in Q4 2025 (FRED: DRCCLACBS, latest available). This is an improving trend, not a deteriorating one. However, 2.94 percent remains elevated compared to the 1.53 percent COVID-era low in 2021 and is in line with 2019 pre-pandemic levels. Credit card stress has not gotten worse recently, but it has not normalized either. This indicator is not flashing red right now, but the savings buffer is so thin that any deterioration here would hit fast.
It’s so far in the future it’s already doing surveillance that ICE uses. Lyft has a ways to go before they reach that point. They should stick to exploiting drivers
Gross margin dropped like a rock after the ICE raid.
ICE should be onto Satya for msft performance lmao
Rooting for the Spurs to win the NBA trophy. I need to see Wemy next to Donald Pump. Then I need Donald Pump to crack some joke about ICE in front of Wemy and then see everyone on RDDT to go ape shit.
well thats ok. but u prob mean to be trading /BZ or whatever ICE brent is if we're being real
cuz its a retarded ETF of the front month CME futures contract that isnt even the right contract representing the equivalent of the real london ICE contract that's the most relevant oil contract for the war
They have the factory already set up for production. Cars coming off the line now… For legal / regulation I have a feeling Musk makes a call to Trump for a sweeping nation wide policy on FSD. For logistics you just cyber cabs to private parties and they maintain it all as mentioned. The cars go drive around while you’re at work, you park it in your garage and charge it at home each night. Operating an EV is soooo much cheaper than ICE car. And to not have to pay a driver now? I don’t see how a regular uber could compete
And Obama got us into Syria, Hillary responsible for Libya, Bill for Yugoslavia, etc. Cheney definitely started the whole regime change thing and those are pretty much the same people pulling Trumps strings. Its crazy how everyone is giving him credit for starting the war when in reality he probably had like 5 options presented to him, with a tl;dr summary at the end and he obviously choose, "Help stop nuclear threat, prevent exisistential threat, peace prize fr this time, unite country like 9/11, save the Iranians from evil regime, guaranteed 90 day distraction from Epstien and ICE detention centers, cons: the dow might go down and gas could go up unless leadership is correct" Thank God he didn't understand what a false flag was and told them if they ever mention anything about changing flags again they'd end up like Kristi & Pam.
Doesn't matter if you have SPY though Also lol if you have an ICE car. Also lol if you live somewhere where you have to drive 20 minutes to see the first grocery store or restaurant
There just isn't enough people to build things for that much. Unless theyr retrain people at the same speed ICE trained MAGA militia, there is not enough electricians, HVAC techs and people in general construction to spend that much. Or maybe the plan is to buy chips and store them in warehouses like they have been doing since 2 years.
Palantir/ICE (drake no thank you meme) Israel involved in anything (drake yes please meme)
So, can other countries cancel contracts with US tech companies who collaborate with ICE or is this just selective outrage?
Early in the days, the tacos were premium SoCal tacos. Very good. But ICE had them deported. The last 2 were easily taco bell quality taco. bland, not much substance, indigestion. Once Wendy's announces tacos on their menu is when we've reached the end of **TT**.
Actually there's a lot of Chinese cars at least in some EU countries, both EV and ICE ones
ICE categorized under federal
I spent the entire day reporting bers to ICE
They’re talking about ICE and yes they’re counting contract jobs as real ones
50,000 of those positions were for ICE cops. Seriously, how much of that was from increased Fed government employment and workers four our industrial prison projects?
TSLA pivoting into ICE or what gives?
>I don’t think until EV adoption starts moving in the direction of being readily affordable for the average buyer and/or the primary means for powering infrastructure vehicles, I’m not sure it’s the right time to jump ship on oil. Depends what market you're tailing about. If you're looking at the USA they're lagging far behind the rest of the developed nations, because politics. Europe and China are racing ahead and the nails are already being banged in the coffin of explodey liquid vehicles. Affordable EVs are already here, they're just tariffed out of the US market. Earlier this year the balance flipped and legacy ICE cars are now more expensive on average in Europe than EVs, and that's before you get to running costs which are vastly higher and likely to continue to be while the resident clown in the WH continues to indiscriminately bomb shit.
Is that an ICE agent 😂
“hello this is the leader of FBI, we have warrant for your arrest UNLESS you transfer all your SOXL to us… no we will not accept target gift cards- …wait, what do you mean the CEO of ICE already called you about this?”
You know Obama loved ICE right? He deported wayyy more than Trump
