The laws of supply and demand are kicking in big time...

 
I wouldn't take one if ya gave it to me for free, but we can discuss that another time. There's a coupla things worth pointing out here. First of all, how pissed off would you be if you just bought one and find out a day later they're selling for ten percent less?
Secondly, there's a basic rule from Economics 101 that says something to the effect that producing more supply that there is demand for your product is a sure-fire way to fuck up your company's balance sheet.
Tesla is now offering big discounts on its Model Y SUV, marking down Model Y prices by $7,500 in some cases. In Q1, the company produced more than 46,000 more cars than it delivered. That equates to roughly $ 230,000,000.00 worth of unsold inventory sitting idle out in the sun.

was a sergeant assigned to the Newark Police Department's Emergency Bureau - the precursor of what would eventually evolve in to what we call SWAT these days. He's pictured here preparing to dive in to the Passaic River to attempt to retrieve a handgun that was supposedly involved in a homicide in the city. This photo ran in the Newark Evening News at the time.

That's the problem with identity politics...

At first I thought to myself 'It's crazy that 
so many people support RFK Jr'...

And then I saw that 4 out of 10 people still support Joe Biden. 
I'm still scraping brain parts off of the ceiling...

And a pack of Marlboros in Nigeria only cost about 40 cents, 
so it ain't the cost that's a factor. Juss' sayin'...

And that's the last of the snow comics for a while...

Someone you know has a birthday
or anniversary coming up.
She's probably love to have these.
