Oh man I got an ad right in the middle of Neal saying "NEEEEEAL'S NUM.. [ad] ..BERS"
Have a wonderful day today ✨️
since Toby wasn’t here to say it, great job today Neal (and Kyle!) 😢
Regarding car tech: Vehicles are the new cell phones.. insofar as every month or so you get an update and your vehicle is different (better) than it was the month before. It's surreal, and I'm here for it!Since owning my Rivian (March 2023) it's gained capabilities, bugs have been fixed, and it's only gotten better. When's the last time you purchased a vehicle that got better over time?? It was already miles ahead of any vehicle I'd owned before it (heck, I owned a 2018 MY Volvo that didn't even have touch screen….)
Instead of just living with the 'problems' you bought your vehicle with and/or it simply depreciating, deprecating, and becoming less relevant over time, you continue to see 'new' better stuff continuously. Cool stuff!
California regulates capped insurance coverage, making insurance unprofitable in the state. Why don't you cover that as a business podcast? Just easier to blame the insurance company rather then incompetence of the California government?!
Thank you Neal & Kyle. Still sending get well wishes to Toby
Does this sound familiar? Dish up government businesses to the Oligarchs. Hello Russia anyone??
Fake news. The insurance companies did that bc the Governor capped insurance. Hadn't seen this podcast in a year and it's impressive how teens in TikTok do a better job than people with degrees at getting facts straights. 🤯
info-tainment?
info that entertains; I like it
Get well tobyyyyy
So… Neither of these two hosts will tell you that a job taken by a robot means a job that you, a human bieng, are no longer needed for. They have not mentioned that while the company saves $ getting the robots & AI to replace humans, they pocket the profit and keep it for themselves. They do not increase your wages. Is everyone in the comments section a billionaire? Because if you arent worth at least $5MM you will not benefit from these "efficiencies".
You will be kicked to the curb and your wages will be replaced. That means no money for food for you and your family. Think clearly and loudly question everything these two men here are leaving out of the conversation. What will happen to employee wages and the money in your pocket?
