☆ Not even Tesla can dodge the EV sales slowdown
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

While EV sales are continuing to grow, they are doing so at a slower pace, research shows. Elon Musk warned a slowdown in sales growth was coming when Tesla reported earnings on Wednesday. The Warren Buffett-backed EV maker, which sells its vehicles in more than 60 countries and recently overtook Tesla on global EV sales, put an early focus on affordable models such as the $10,000 Seagull. EV sales surged 40% year-on-year in the last three months of 2023 —a "strong result by any measure," as the industry research noted. Aran Waid, senior analyst at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said growth in EV sales globally was continuing but that it had "fallen short of automaker expectations."

☆ I almost got banned from American Airlines for ‘skiplagging.’ I was terrified when my boarding pass was flagged and I’ll never do it again.

Cassie Aran bought a hidden-city flight from Skiplagged. An American Airlines agent told Aran she would be banned if she missed the last leg of her flight. For example, I wanted to fly to Washington D.C., so I bought a plane ticket to Boston with a Washington D.C. layover. When I opened it, there was a note on my pass asking me to head to the ticket counter. She also said that if I didn't get on my flight to my final destination, I would be banned from American Airlines altogether.

☆ Turkish bankers fear regulatory burden will reverse profit boom
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-08 | by ( Ebru Tuncay | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

Bankers forecast a very tough 2023 and beyond for earnings and lending, several of them told Reuters. Their share of outstanding loans has fallen to 29%, compared to 46% for state lenders that have increased their dominance in recent years. Other bankers said the regulations and rising costs have interfered with basic credit extension and could lead banks to cut operational costs. Authorities "tied the fate of the banking sector to state lenders with the recent regulations. Still, other sources close to the state lenders said these concerns are exaggerated given exporters, the focus of Erdogan's programme, are easily getting credit.

☆ ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ Review: From Friends to Enemies
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Kyle Smith | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Wounded but funny, quiet but resonant and resistant to anything like a Hollywood formula, “The Banshees of Inisherin” is a strangely profound little comedy. The guns of the Irish Civil War can be heard in the distance, creating puzzlement among the residents of Inisherin. A kind of micro-spoof of the war is about to upend his peaceful little life. Pádraic’s best friend, Colm (played with a balance of lightness and foreboding by the gifted character actor Brendan Gleeson ), has decided to spurn him, irrevocably and without warning. “I just don’t like you no more,” Colm says, and demands that Pádraic never speak to him again.
