  • An assessment of the global electric vehicle market and Ford merited one lukewarm, brief sentence. At the time, Farley was the Executive Vice President and President of Global Markets. If that sounds like a job that would require paying close attention to China’s reality and increasing competitiveness, it is. If that sounds like a job that should understand disruptive innovation’s death knell for firms like Ford, it is. If that sounds like a job that should have been creating strategy to deal with the reality of China’s emerging electric vehicle juggernaut, it is.

    Auto industry mismanagement is redundant.







  • “That they even asked this question is evidence of the bias — the agenda — in their poll. Who made age an ‘issue’? The credulous Times falling into the right-wing’s projection. This is not journalism. Shameful," Jeff Jarvis posted on Threads. He’s currently the Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation at the CUNY Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, Darcy pointed out.

    Complaints grew more recently after the Times paraphrased Trump’s rambling non-answer while speaking to The Economic Club of New York. In the report, the Times reshaped his language to make sense of what he said. The reality of the comments was that none of it made sense, according to critics.

    They were accused of “sane-washing” Trump’s comments.

    Fascinating and predictable that the Times (or anyone else) hasn’t mentioned it. Linked posts show pictures etc.





  • "Now, they’re scheduled to meet on Friday. And they have over a dozen new rules and new proposed agenda items. We’re less than 50 days out of an election. So Secretary of State Raffensperger’s lawyer sent a pretty scathing letter to the State Election Board saying, you really shouldn’t change these rules."

    The bottom line, he added, is that “we’ll see what happens Friday with the State Election Board in Georgia. But when it comes to concerns about the new laws, that’s where we see the most action, at least right now.”

    Emphasis (?) added





  • The city received permission from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to move the Confederate monument, as required. But Rep. Stacey Hobgood-Wilkes of Picayune said the fire station site is inappropriate.

    “We are prepared to pursue such avenues that may be necessary to ensure that the statue is relocated to a more suitable and appropriate location,” she wrote, suggesting a Confederate cemetery closer to the courthouse square as an alternative. She said the Ladies Cemetery Association is willing to deed a parcel to the city to make it happen.

    Of the Mississippi Hobgood-Wilkes? Ohhh! That Ladies Cemetery Association. Not the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Sure.
