GM doesn't innovate, it will just replicate the offering from the other manufacturer & buy Tesla when their product is ready.
They can't afford Tesla anymore and I doubt it is for sale.

GM used to be world beater for 70 years or so, but their focus on share buybacks since the early 2000s has really taken too much capital out to invest strategically.

German health insurances refuse to cover cannabis for severely ill patients, saying that its efficacy is not sufficiently proven.

Meanwhile, many insurances cover homeopathic therapies.  :wacko:

We have this at the underground passage at Karlsplatz subway station:





(There are also various digital trackers - numbers of schnitzels eaten in Vienna, world population, victims of land mines, days till Tchernobyl is inhabitable again, worldwide defense expenses, number of books borrowed from the Vienna libraries ...).

There are Mexicans crawling all over my house and hitting it with hammers.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
