  • Not every Tesla is 80k. Model 3s are everywhere in California. Regardless, vandalism isnt the answer. I know so many here that hate driving their Tesla now but still need a car. Their two choices likely are to sell the car for nothing or continue driving it. Not a lot of people can take the hit of selling the car for such a loss and replacing it. Not a lot of people are that privileged to do so including Tesla drivers.

    New Tesla car buyers I do judge though and think those are free game.









  • I think it depends on where you live but mine is ATT Prepaid. I pay $300 a year for 16gb, though I only use <5GB month. I have tried:

    • RedPocket (Verizon) - Depolarized too much for data
    • Google Fi - Might be better now but when it switched from a Sprint and TMobile tower it used to drop the call… I havent tried it in many years
    • Verizon - My favorite but I wanted to stop paying so much $$$ Mint - Cheapest plan I had because of sale ($7/month for 6 months). But TMobile service for me where I am isn’t great so wasn’t worth.
    • Cricket - Loved it but just a little more expensive than ATT Prepaid





  • Masters in Nursing. I had a bachelor’s in something else so it was really for the nursing degree. Cannot be a nurse without a degree. Turned out great for me. California pays RNs very well.

    However, I dont always believe higher education is the answer for everyone. Everyone is different.

    What school really does IMO at the very least is train people for some basics:

    • Follow directions (prompts/assignments)
    • Meet deadlines
    • Communicate (Essays, presentations, etc.)
    • Basic Office skills
    • Capacity to read, process, and learn new information
    • Retain new info (tests)
    • Collaboration (group projects)

    So if someone does well in school, I hope they can do the above well.


  • Another fun trick I learned in sales is that if you’re trying to get someone to purchase something, instead of having them focus on whether or not they should get something, change their question to something else.

    For example, I used to sell phones. Instead of having people try to figure out if they want the newest Samsung or not, I would take the phone in two different colors and ask if they liked it in blue or black instead. Putting it in their hands let’s them imagine having the phone already and the question changes from should I purchase this phone to what color do I want?

    I’m quite sure this can translate to other questions and decisions people ask themselves
