>Sysco
I will write off a restaurant completely if I see Sysco truck delivering there. I can get my own microwave meals.

People keep waiting for the crash.
The sad reality is. Prices aren't ever going back to what they were.

Reply to comment by random-incident in Turkey ratifies Finland’s NATO membership by For_All_Humanity
The central idea of the NATO alliance is that all nations will come to the aid of any nation within the group that is attacked. The alliance will break down if individual nations are free to choose whether they'll actually do so.
Turkey would be responsible for defending Sweden in such a scenario, thus they have a voice in whether they have to be put in such a situation in the first place.

$20k?
These days that's like a 2014 Escape with 90,000 miles.

The demand was too high. It'll take a decade before they're ready to roll out cheaper trim versions.
No matter how many Tesla stans appear to say otherwise, people want this truck and will pay.

Not for long. That was the economy high on postpandemic low unemployment, people spending as post pandemic therapy, and all those funds from the government aid.
We are heading straight into a recession, inflation is still hammering the middle class, we have global food and supply issues still, threats of war accelerating in Europe, the chicken industry getting brutalized by bird flu, and a generation that actually believes in and actually takes climate change seriously (rather forgo a new car altogether rather than get slammed by a big corpo for a rediculouly priced EV)..while said generation keeps geting slapped in the face by the points made above, while also having to soon have their studen loan payments come due. Also...the banks, big investors see the writing on the wall, which is why so many of these banks are going bust.
Let's face it, the high of capitalism is wearing off. As a collective society, the West has to keep doing more and more desperate things to keep the economy rolling at full consumption until the planet dies mode. Ecosystems are failing on a global scale and food is becoming more and more insecure.
Suicide and crime, and depression, and hate, and desperation are all at all-time highs... this also does not make for a good driver of the economy. Many people who can, are starting to tighten up their belts in preparation for a big social or economic storm. Those not doing so tend to be living in a hopium bubble in the name of protecting their mental health or have an income that creates its own information bubble.
The pool of those who have the means to spend obscene amounts of money on an insultingly priced EV truck will soon get spent.

Never forget that this is the same company that produced the Ford Pinto and decided against putting a $11 part that would have saved lives and it was cheaper to just pay the lawsuit settlements.

This is correct. Savannah is a very drink-y city.
