Stats show that Teslas using FSD are 7x less likely to be involved in an accident than Teslas driven by humans. What you should be avoiding is the cars driven by humans who are staring at their phone texting and watching TikTok while driving 75 mph on the highway. Also, it's a refrigerator with...

He's more moving towards autonomous AI powered things. There is still an intention to have models of vehicles that customers purchase, they just might not have a steering wheel and pedals. I will say that I've been incredibly impressed with my cybertruck supervised full self driving. It isn't...

The stock market and investing was much different in the 1950s and 1960s than today. Walt would have a lot more trouble now with activist investors and quarterly pressure.

I'm a Tesla customer and I don't feel disrespected. I'm assuming you are referring to something outside of business and that discussion would certainly violate forum rules.

And that is the problem. Stockholders care about the near term with an established company. Especially with a conglomerate like Disney.

No. What I'm saying is leadership answers to shareholders. Josh doesn't hold enough stock to have the power to do what he wants to. Walt had power to do things the way he wanted to like Elon Musk does with Tesla.

Just when I thought that there was no hope for humanity, I saw this!

That is the true definition of a hero. Somebody knowingly putting themselves in harms way to protect others. I hope he is rewarded for what he did. He deserves some kind of honor. I'm glad he ended up OK and will just end up with a scar to remember the experience by.

But he doesn't have the power to do what he wants to do because he needs to answer to the shareholders on stock price on every quarterly call. He was also born after Walt died and was a kid during the early days of WDW so he doesn't really have a direct connection.

I think the best, most realistic (although still unlikely) hope is that they spin off Parks and Resorts into their own company. Then, MAYBE, they would operate them in a way to bring them back near the actual "Disney Standard" that goes beyond marketing BS.

From watching several "rise and fall of..." videos by Michael Girdley on youtube, I realized that the parks will never return to what we want them to/Walt's vision. Disney has become too big of a corporation and nobody in power has any connection to Walt or the founding philosophies. The only...

They can say they were referring to Spring in Brazil and open in the Fall at WDW.

The verse from "The Gambler" (made famous by Kenny Rogers) that is the most accurate: Every gambler knows That the secret to surviving Is knowing what to throw away Knowing what to keep 'Cause every hand's a winner And every hand's a loser And the best that you can hope for Is to die in your sleep

At what point do "recession indicators" become just a vague prediction that there will be a recession at some point in the future? It's highly unlikely to go from over 4% GDP growth to contraction in the very short term. Regarding the banks and bailouts, they are almost certainly right. The...
