Deleterious

That was an odd qualifying session.

They should announce it the same day they announce the punishment for Bridges.

Haas has some big upgrades this weekend. Magnussen gets them this weekend and Mick will at a later race.

I always felt these two got along better than the media wanted them to. Damn near everyone ever associated with F1 had some social media post today about Seb. Almost all saying what a great person he is.

Every time I read that Tweet I find something else wrong with it.

Apple continues to thrive and best quarterly estimates. Good job Tim Apple. Amazon beat revenue but posted a $2B loss. Their stock is up 12% after hours.

A court with Gore's signature in teal.

72 and 84 month borrowing has become more popular the past 10 years or so. I wonder how much higher that $700 average would be without those.

For those saying the WH changed the definition of a recession.

New fans like myself barely realize Seb was a 4 time WDC. He seems like a smart guy. I would love it if Ferrari found a way to involve him with the team management.

Just took a look at apartment prices. A very basic one bedroom in Battle Creek is now $1000 a month. Before COVID it was about $700.

The most amazing thing about the gdp news was analysts predicted +0.3%. Maybe they are the same idiots that thought +0.1% rise in consumer spending was good in a time of 9% inflation.

Sebastian Vettel announced he will retire at the end of the season.

So Porsche now has access to the Honda designed engine. Kind of interesting.

Yes the fed rate should be much closer to the inflation rate. For the most part, the fed rate has been higher than inflation. At least up until we lost our minds in 2008.

Not enough. But I gave up on the feds doing the right thing long ago

I guess a couple of Fed members said 100bps is basically off the table. The market loves whatever is about to happen. Green everywhere.

Red Bull is already one of the best run teams on the grid. Porsche has a very successful racing program in other classes. A lot of potential there. The dumb American in me would love to see Ford or Chevy partner with Williams like this.

Just wow. Leak by antitrust authorities: Porsche takes over 50 percent of Red Bull!

Lamborghini makes tractors. Does Ferrari make boats? BTW, the Lamborghini tractors look pretty cool. https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/tractors/open-field/3968-mach-vrt
