While the exact nature of the issue has not been publicly disclosed, speculation within the space community suggests that it could involve [Possible issue speculation, e.g., a problem with the propulsion system or a communication failure].

What the hell is this nonsense? The article is so generically written like someone prompted an AI to write a template article to speculate.

No, the one Meta hired just wrote the cybersecurity sections.

And aren't for sale in the USA. If they were Tesla would have lost that 50% a few years ago.

That said overall EVs are taking up a larger part of the overall market, so this is just a headline number. This was always going to happen as the other manufacturers started making competitive EVs.

From the Bloomberg article I read on this, 1 million barrels is a blip and won't meaningfully impact prices. The east coast consumes 3 million barrels PER DAY in the month of June.

Also, this action was mandated to happen by congress in a funding bill from March, mostly because the cost of maintaining gasoline reserves is much higher ($13/barrel/yr) than maintaining crude oil reserves ($0.30/barrel/yr).

What their actions and intentions have been, and what they are actually capable of, are two different things. There is nothing contradictory here.

What's confusing is these articles are written to sound like these things have happened when really it's just a quote from some rando who says these things are likely to happen. The court itself has not ruled on or rejected the paperwork yet. If you can find an article after 4/4/24 that says otherwise I'd love to see it.

A court ruled it's not valid.

Has this happened yet? all I've seen so far is the court asked the insurance co for more information, but no outright ruling on the validity.

OP's account is @v4bttcza@sh.itjust.works. You can post on pretty much any federated instance as long as you have a valid federated account. I'm replying to you from an account on an mbin instance.

Gerrymandering has nothing to do with the presidential election.
