Isn't their main product weapons?
What? The moment you realize something happened it's past already. Present is a lie.
While this is great, someone who doesnt mind paying a 100k for a car wont mind the extra fees.
Not just that, it removes the.. let's call it 'shame factor'. Some people that would feel bad about driving big, polluting cars in the city now will feel perfectly justified: they are paying extra for the privilege. This will not reduce the number of cars and likely will increase it. It's simply a bad policy. As you said, number of parking spots for big cars should be reduced each year putting greater and greater pressure on the owners to get rid of them.
It absolutely is true. I have a PHD in early XXI century north American showering practices and I know for a fact that 65% of showers in the North East and 66% of showers in the rest of the US look like this, thus, making it a typical American shower. I will admit that there is a debate within my field of research as to how public and hotel showers should be counted but most experts agree with my position that what should be taken into consideration are the shower units, not the number of uses they get per year.
I mean, yes, you're right but nothing about the company changed. So people betting that the stock will go up are basically betting that people will buy it for the dividends.
Come on, it's a prank.
As in Tim Apple pranked them out of 3.5k.
Yep, I'm just saying that 90% of people in Europe will simply go with external AC. Where I live most new apartments simply come with central AC installed and roof top units. But that's in southern Spain, AC is a must.
If you want to really confuse Americans show them European showers. Imagine a shower with fixed pressure only...
Edit: I see people are confused. I meant that typical shower in US doesn't have adjustable pressure:
Window mounted units are still terrible for comfort. External AC unit is like 300 euro + 300 euro for installation. It's not a big investment and you get totally silent unit. In Europe people will use portable units if it's short term and install external one if it's permanent.
On Friday, shares of Meta (META) jumped more than 20% on the news of a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share to be paid out on March 26 to shareholders of record as of February 22.
Let me get this straight: Meta said that for every stock you have month from now you will get $0.50 two months from now and people started buying like crazy. So basically people are betting that they will be able sell the stock right after Feb 22 before it loses more than $0.50? Am I getting this right? This system is so fucked up...
