Wall Street Mav@WallStreetMav
It was only July 28, 2024 we reached $35 trillion for the US national debt. Now about 100 days later we are at $36 trillion in debt. Interest on the national is on pace for $1.4 trillion for the 2025 fiscal year. About 25% of US govt revenue will go to pay interest on the debt.

According to Grok...
The UK has 44 ministerial and non-ministerial departments, along with 422 agencies and other public bodies, amounting to a total of 466 government entities. For every 100 people in the UK, approximately 17.5 are employed by the government.
The US has 15 executive departments, but if we also count the numerous federal agencies and other governmental bodies, the number increases significantly beyond the executive departments. For every 100 people in the US, around 2 are employed by the federal government excluding military personnel.

Delighted to be singing the praises of @elonmusk on the BBC today...
We need to follow Trump's lead - the size of the state must be drastically slashed.
When Reform wins the election in 2029, we are going to have the biggest quango busting session that's ever been seen.

53% of the headcount of the NHS are not front line staff.

Professor Karol Sikora@ProfKarolSikora
Up to £139,882 per year for an 'Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion' within the NHS. This level of funding simply cannot be justified. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I believe that this money should be spent on frontline staff - not obstructive diversity bureaucrats.

the TL:DR of the paper:
Tesla, the leader in the electric vehicle market, has historically leveraged technical superiority, outstanding ROI, and a strong brand reputation to attract customers while maintaining a premium pricing strategy. However, a significant shift occurred in February 2022 with the first significant price cuts for the Model 3 and Y. Tesla then embarked on a practice of frequent and unannounced price cuts across their vehicle lineup (with fewer and smaller occasional price rises). This practice of volatile price cuts continues to this day. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of this recent approach, focusing on its impact on consumer behavior, market dynamics, and resale value.
Drawing on economic concepts like price elasticity, intertemporal elasticity, and reference price effects, this paper argues that Tesla’s strategy might have unintended consequences. Frequent price adjustments could trigger loss aversion among early adopters, disrupt consumer reference points for value perception, and create uncertainty in the market, potentially hindering demand in the long run. Additionally, the analysis explores how Tesla’s approach compares to established pricing strategies in the consumer electronics space, highlighting potential limitations and alternative approaches for fostering brand value and customer loyalty. This paper is a layman’s rumination of pricing strategies in dynamic markets and their long-term impact on consumer behavior and brand perception.

During the @tesla earnings call yesterday, I was disappointed that no Wall Street analyst quizzed @elon about the efficacy of Tesla price cuts in driving demand. The questions regarding the pricing strategy has been percolating for some time in my head and I decided to write it up on medium .link.medium.com/xhFHlnsO3Ib
