It's Great To Be Lucky

OTOH, it helps to make your own luck--per Red State:


​Last month:

Nancy Pelosi and/or her husband purchased 25 call options of Tesla Inc. stake price of $500 with an expiration of March 18,​ ​2022, paying between $500,000 and $1,000,000 for the options.

They’ve gone up from $640.34 over this time to $890 as of today, which means they’re worth $1.12 million, according to Money Control.​

​Today:

​President Biden on Monday pledged to transition the U.S. Government vehicle fleet with electric vehicles as part of his “Buy American” executive order aimed at refocusing federal procurement on domestic-made products.

“The federal government also owns an enormous fleet of vehicles, which we’re going to replace with clean, electric vehicles made right here in America by American workers, creating millions of jobs — a million autoworker jobs in clean energy — and vehicles that are net-zero emissions,” Biden said during a speech announcing the initiative.
 
Shares of electric-vehicle makers Workhorse and Lordstown were up as much as 10 percent in early pre-market trading Tuesday, Tesla was also higher.


​Think she knew something was coming?​

  1. I wonder what Senator Burr thinks of this? I have little sympathy for him even though I've known him, sort of, his dad was my pastor when I was a kid, for a long time. He had to give up his position as chairman of the SSCI. Shouldn't Pelosi yield to Steny Hoyer?

  3. Saw this afternoon where Kerry says oil and gas workers can now learn how to make solar panels. What a slap in the face.

    1. Some subordinate musta told him, For God's sake, don't tell them to learn to code!

    2. With John Kerry, it has always been about John 'Pass the Puck' Kerry.

      For some interesting insights, read Geoffrey Douglas's 'The Classmates'.

    3. How very Marie-Antoinette of him. If they can't find oil and gas jobs, let them work on solar panels.

      His fate will be similar, if history has any sense of humor.

    4. Kerry really is a stiff. I was waiting for that coding line… And on a snarky note, with their bad embalming jobs, he and Barbara Ferrer, Los Angeles County’s health officer aka warden, could be stars on Tales from the Crypt or The Addams Family. Cover photo for Mortuary Life?

    5. John Kerry with career advice. Mike Bloomberg teaches farming. How lucky we are to have such mental giants to wield the power of life and death.

    6. John Kerry believes in climate change regulation. For you and not for him.

  4. There's no way members of Congress should be trading individual stocks while in office. Period. No way.

    1. What? What's the incentive for being in Congress, then? With no incentive, we'd lose most of our most talented public servants!

    2. They can trade on their experience and contacts after they leave Congress. That's how its actually supposed to be done.

    3. I neglected to add the /s tag.

    4. Well, for starters, "I'm a San Francisco Princess and have discovered I'm holding millions of dollars with your name on it," just doesn't have the same zing as, "Orange Man Bad," as an opener for a fundraising e-mail.

      Grifters gotta grift.
