@KILLTOPARTY I wonder if this woman would agree to a prenup that said that SHE would have to pay him a comparable percentage if she was the cheater. It would be totally fair. You can't use money as a penalty against a cheater if it doesn't also apply to the less wealthy partner.

@StephenKing Um... she's right. If everyone owns an electric vehicle the electric grid won't be able to keep up with the demand and anybody who knows basic economics 101 knows that this leads to higher prices for energy. Also, the government will use taxes to force people to sell gas cars

@TyphinaRex Isn't it obvious? Placing the store at the airport is a strategy: they get to lower the price by having the items be duty-free but they don't cheapen their brand since this is not perceived by the wealthy patron as a regular discount.

@RnaudBertrand The funny thing, is that even with a 100% tariff, BYD could still sell a cheaper, better quality car than Tesla in the US. I think they got the base price down to $10k. So with a 100% tariff, that's still only $20k

@lvamsgatthebeep If the relationship had been working, then this could be viewed as playful. But when a relationship is already falling apart, this looks more like a passive aggressive way to avoid fixing the problems. And treating the wife's complaints as a joke.
