Remember how GM said it was gonna make #billions on #subscriptions?

This is how.

If you don't want to pay for in-car subscriptions every month, no problem: Just pay it all upfront. That's the line from General Motors today after news spread that it's making a three-year, $1,500 OnStar connected services subscription a mandatory "option" for new Buick, GMC, and Cadillac Escalade models.

#SUPPLY_CHAIN_UPDATE!

We were #right, the #mainstream_media was #wrong (or they lied).

Generally, #inflation and #shortages lead to #price_controls, government #rationing..

as well as the attempted #confiscation of #supplies from people that prepared ahead of time. (aka #hoarders)

Almost every trade expert and industry insider is admitting that supply chain problems are going to persist into the foreseeable future, and some are starting to also admit (in a roundabout way) that localized production and trade models are the key to survival.

AS #TASTINGTRAFFIC LLC MENTIONED YESTURDAY..

THIS #DROP can be attributed partly to a #crash in the #value of #mining_based #cryptocurrencies like #Bitcoin and #Ethereum...
