GOEV: earlier today it was noted that GOEV surged on news that Walmart will be buying 4,500 Canoos, if I recall correctly. After that news, it was reported that a Canoo erupted in fire. Link here to Bloomberg.
Germany EVs: electricity is now so costly in Germany, only the wealthy can afford these "luxury" cars. Link here.

Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters.
A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.
The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.
British Open:
- the tournament begins Thursday, July 14, 2022
- British Open coverage began yesterday and on golf channels / sports networks coverage will pretty much run 24/7 through the weekend and into Monday next week
- from the looks of the early televising, it appears the only golfer really playing this tournament this year is Tiger Woods.
- he is, of course, the sentimental favorite to win by a dozen strokes.
Only murders in the building: link here. Fourth episode, second season today.
Saw commentary yesterday that with the rise of LIV golf, the PGA needs Tiger more than ever. He is their only viable marketing device.
ReplyDeleteIf Tiger plays (pun) this right, he makes bank as PGA will grovel to have Woods name attached to every property PGA has.
That's probably true. Unfortunately, this will be Tiger's last tournament this weekend. If he has a spectacular weekend he will hang around a bit longer, but will play minimum of PGA tournaments.
DeleteHe has no chance to be in the FedEx championship. He is currently 229 out of 245 players.
