June 14 (Reuters) - Tesla's largest outside investor Vanguard said it voted in favor of CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package, citing the company's performance, contributing to the passage of the record-setting arrangement on Thursday.
In a note seen by Reuters, Vanguard said it had voted against Musk's compensation package when it was first approved by shareholders in 2018 because of its potential size, which might not have been justified by performance.
But "given the strong alignment of executive pay with shareholder returns since 2018 and the benefits the board asserted related to the motivational value for the CEO in preserving the original deal," Vanguard-advised funds voted for the ratification at Tesla's annual meeting, according to the note.

I find this interesting that you are always looking for responses to your questions or a response to a debate item. What is this about? Nobody owes anybody a response, especially on the internet. The internet is not a court room. I see you do this a lot.
I can't even count the number of times people try to engage in debate with myself, I seldom will respond. I have almost no interest in debating people. If I feel strongly on a topic, it my get a response, but most people have unwavering views and debate is just a circle of opinion with usually neither side changing their viewpoint. I enjoy reading opinions, hence being here. I find that I mostly post my BS/opinion on a topic and move on. For instance, your response to this posting is almost 99.9% not going to result in a rebuttal from me.
I think you find a lack of response as a lack of character, however I see two people arguing ON THE INTERNET over the most trival of things, as a lack of character. People see the world through different lenses, right?
If a person believes in an ideology so fervently, why can't they defend it. Leftys can regurgitate the talking points the talking heads on TV told them to believe, but when asked a direct question, they vapor lock.
Can you imagine having such low self esteem that you'd want to be included in a group that said you can be included only if you think and act just like we tell you?
I am done with anything and everything Disney. Just found out that Hulu is a Disney company, I need to cancel that.

That about sums up Gen X.
The last feral generation. Me I am a borderline baby, depending on the chart you look at I could be the last of the boomers, or the first of the X. With the traits of X I think I fall into that group.
When my mother died I sold her house, a house I lived in from 5 to 19. The real estate agent said the bars for the railing of the stairs are too far apart, some kid could get his head stuck in there. I said if he does he will not do it a second time. I was then told I needed to put up a railing across a loft, why there was never one there when I was 5. Well you have to do it now, it is for the children. I said it is for the stupid children.
We learned life through pain, and our friends. Basically just like you said, abandoned by mother at birth and raised in the wild.
We also learned to do things for ourselves, to rely on no one. No one was going to come and save your ass. No one knew where you where, just be home when the street lights came on. My mother had a bell you could hear for miles, after about 10 my range had extended outside of bell range. We wore a key around our neck, latch key kids. Baby sitter, not after 7. We existed on our own. If she was gone I knew how to cook a hot dog.....on a stove....wash up and put the dishes up.
It really was the best time to grow up. But I have a feeling every generation thinks that. But......our experience in growing up did shape how we raised our own children.....at least most of us did. My boy was fairly feral.....and oddly enough he is 26, married, in a house, makes 70k a year and is an adult. You can't say that about a lot of them.
I have no problems with new firearm legislation….especailly determining who can own one.
ALONG AS that legislation also includes
ANYONE and I do mean ANYONE!
Who has ever drank ONE drop of an alcoholic beverage, taken any kind of intoxicating drug or EVER used any PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION that could or would cause the slightest amount of dizziness BE…
FOREVER FORBIDDEN TO OWN OR DRIVE OR USE AN AUTOMOBLE, TRUCK, OR ANY OTHER WHEELED FORM OF TRANSPORTATION.
After all if it saves one child, putting our nation back into the Stone Age will be worth it.

TO the men and women of our national congress and current executive branch that support this level of stupidity.

"This incident raised concerns within the agency about the hiring and screening process for this agent: specifically, whether previous incidents in her work history were overlooked during the hiring process as years of staff shortages had led the agency to lower once stricter standards as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion effort," Comer’s letter to Cheatle continues.

I was good at getting hurt, I think Evel Knievel did that to us. I was a terror on a bicycle. Come home for a band-aid. Mother would be let me see it, it is not that bad....LET ME SEE IT....ok. SCREAM and off to the hospital I would go for more stitches. I learned to go to other folks house for a couple band aids, and wash it off with their hose, or just anyone around. Just turn off the water, it was all cool.
I have told this story before....
Me and a buddy where walking down to the creek with our BB guns. Down the sidewalk by a main road. Two kids 13-14 walking down the streets with rifles. A cop swings into the driveway to the ball field and said what are you kids doing. Ahhh, going down to the creek to shoot some frogs. Ok be careful. We will. Can you imagine the reaction today.
A different world, and without a doubt a better world.
I ran into all kinds of things on my motorcycle. Brushed up against electric fences. Stepped on nails. My grandparents "remedies" were always worse than the illness, so I learned to keep my mouth shut about not feeling well.
I don't think most kids these days would have survived a X'er childhood.
I can only agree with this if we crank the clock back to 1920.....in the ways the death penalty is handed out. Rape, as well as murder, any form of armed criminal action. We also need to bring back mental health. I am cool with that NOT being as it was in 1920, that was a hot mess. But it does need to come back in a very big way. You think you are a cat, off to the rubber room with you.
Starting Jan. 1 next year, those who register to vote in Louisiana will be required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when submitting a voter registration application.
Gov. Jeff Landry signed the requirement into law this week.
Under the current registration process, voters must prove their identity, age and residency — but not citizenship status — with information like a Louisiana driver's license or ID card number or social security number. It's also possible to provide a current photo ID along with documents like a utility bill or a bank statement.

Biden actually says what he thinks of all of us.
History has proven him wrong SO many times
Do Not, I repeat, Do Not bring up mental health. We had at Central Louisiana State Hospital, perhaps the finest Adolescent mental health facility in the nation, maybe the entire world. Time was 1985.. We also had, for better or worse, at least three operating full time, state funded mental health hospitals. I worked with those people at the Adolescent Unit. They had the funds which gave them the time, to help young people RESOLVE their mental health issues. Every young person I referred to that unit was released, sometimes after over a year of care, healthy, having all their issues resolved and became members of our society we were glad to have.
Then came our all knowing, all caring federal government. Oh, we need to keep those people at home where they will be happy. The local mental health clinics can take care of them. And if they can’t, private funded mental health hospitals can more than do the job.
Private facilities depended on private insurance. Private insurance said, will pay for two weeks and then they’re out of here. Give em a pack of meds and wish them (and us) luck. Two weeks for a severely disturbed young man or young woman and some meds used to treat psychosis (which they did not have) wasn’t worth a four day old shit. But that’s ok because we can fall back on the local mental health clinics right????? NOOOOO, the local mental health clinics flatly refused. They only work with people with diagnosed psychotic conditions, such as Bipolar disorder, psychosis, paranoid schizophrenia. Got any other problem, go see your med pro. (Who’s only option was to prescribe meds for, you guessed it, Bipolar, schizophrenia, major depression, which of course does not treat the issues that young people often have.
Where does this lead us to? School shootings, family breakups (what little family the federal welfare mandates have not already destroyed) and basically a royally fucked up society, with very disturbed people running amok.
mental health, fuck it, and fuck the idiots who mandated the destruction of a system that may not have been the best, but at least in some measure, it worked.
You are saying the same thing that I am, just better. It also goes to show that everything the fed sticks its nose in it fucks up. EVERYTHING.
I never considered getting one but might have to reconsider; just like waving a middle finger to some who think they can be our overlords.
Never though about getting one since I can't afford to feed it but got to shoot one at the Texas International Firearms Festival back in 2014.
