    I follow a site where one of the economists calls himself "Houses and Holes". And it's true. All the manufacturing has been long lost.

    I sure hope we can restructure to be more than this.

    It's called the "Resources Curse" as governments don't have to invest in their people's education, or anything else really, just dig stuff up and ship it out.

    Thanks I hadn't heard that term.

    And all the capital instead of going to business to create productive enterprise gets funnelled straight into the property market. I did a semester of economics at uni, and the idea of bank lending was supposed to be to allow businesses to invest and create jobs and wealth. Meanwhile...

    Thank goodness for that, I was starting to think you were an economist, and can overlook a youthful indiscretion. Those graphs are a mirror image of each other so definitely related. Makes sense with a fixed pool of money.

    Sorry about the AI narration and the mis-pronounciations that mandates.

    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    My deity of choice. Fear Uncertainty Doubt. FUD

    BYD have been transferring from having EAGERS from managing their brand to self managing it. Bit of confusion during the switch over. Frankly it astonishes me how brands manage such large volumes of cars. You know these ships can sometimes have like 5000 cars on them right? It takes time to work through delivering them. Every car maker struggles with this. There are car storage areas all over the place. BYD paying the water park as a temporary area. Seems like a fair idea to me.

    Have a look at the port of brisbane. Cars up the wazoo.

    Google Maps

    This is one of the paid facilities that manufacturers use.

    Yes, October was a quieter month - that's fairly common for both BYD and Tesla, they have big and small months.

    Just a moment...

    Here a article on the situation.

    EDIT: I'm no friend of BYD - but this FUD is just what it says on the box. Rubbish. The world is going to keep spinning. The are just cars with a battery.
