OK! Toyota is ready to fight!👍🏿

Everyone looks at the number of cars that are sold in China each year, and begins to salivate. Their eyes turn to dollar signs!🤑

Then they get in market, and realize how much quality and value you need to pack into a tiny price.🤯

It's harder than spaceflight!

You can't just sell someone a basic, mid-level car for $60,000, and then expect them to put $5 a gallon gas in it every month. That only works on Americans that don't know any better.🤡

You have to sell someone a great car that they never have to put gas in, and that only costs $18,000.

Here is an unbelievable graphic from the webcast showing planned launches and assets deployed on the moon, starting in 2026 with 2 landers!

All for the low low price of $10B across 3-4 years.

A lot is planned for 2027 and 2028. We wonder why?

BTW - the first moon landing using Artemis IV is currently planned for early 2028.
🤔
4/n

This graphic from the webcast has a significantly different timeline and states the dates as starting points for the various phases.

Presented by Carlos Garcia-Galan, program executive, Moon Base. He was Deputy Manager for the lunar Gateway Program, which has now been terminated; parts of the program will now be repurposed for lunar landing missions.

"companies spending money with the adtech companies do see returns" - Not necessarily, as measuring conversion rates is not easy. If you see that without G your visits plummet (as measured by G) you go back to G. Recommended:

I'm not familiar with news specifically, but I assume they don't partner with advertisers directly, but through an ad network, which is in the end owned by Meta or G, who can ~arbitrarily set their prices/payouts?

The (non)sense of online advertising: when the numbers don’t add up

The digital advertising industry, worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually, is often plagued by widespread fraud, dubious metrics, and adblockers. Turns out that in a world of maths and numbers, measuring anything accurately is almost impossible.

As the U.S. sinks into dictatorship -- malevolent rule by corrupt politicians and oligarchs -- the institution I know the best has almost completely failed to recognize, much less counter, the threat. Big Journalism will be remembered for its cowardice and capitulation. https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2026/mar/17/trump-is-aiming-for-dictatorship-thats-the-verdict-of-the-worlds-most-credible-democracy-watchdog

‘Trump is aiming for dictatorship’. That’s the verdict of the world’s most credible democracy watchdog

Sweden’s V-Dem Institute warns that the US is no longer a liberal democracy. And autocracy is creeping across Europe too, says writer Martin Gelin
