• Consumers Optimistic About EVs, Per BMW Group Survey by Tanya Gazdik (Marketing Daily on 06/12/2025)
  

  Hi Wynn, Thanks for reading! Research (from a multitude of sources) shows that most EV owners end up putting in a level 2 home charger. But even with simply a 120 volt household outlet, you could easily add 75 miles of range overnight.  Folks can do that even out of apartment or condo windows with extension cords.

  Hi again, Jeep has it posted as a Story on Instagram. If you go to their Insta page and click the Jeep profile logo, the post comes right up. Unfortunately there's no way for me to embed it in my story. But it is there! :)

• Automakers Drive Forward With Pride, LGBTQ+ Efforts by Tanya Gazdik (Marketing Daily on 06/11/2025)
  

  Hi Mike, thanks for catching that the link was old. I replaced it with the quote from Stellantis. They have not yet posted about it on Instagram this year, but maybe that's by design, given the current political climate. I have reached out to them again to ask about it.  

• The Whole US-Canada Thing, 'IMHO' by Gord Hotchkiss (Media Insider on 05/06/2025)
  

  Great column, Gord, and I share your pain. As a Detroiter, I'm back and forth across the border with Windsor, Ontario quite frequently and I have a lot of Canadian friends. Our common purpose is saving dogs from high-kill shelters in the southern U.S. and transporting them up to rescue groups in London, Toronto, Ottawa and other parts of Ontario. I crossed with great trepidation a few weeks ago but thankfully everyone in the commercial office (we pay taxes on the dogs -- they are considered "goods") and at my favorite fish and chips joint were very pleasant. I keep telling mysellf "this too shall pass," but it's distressing at the moment to see U.S. relationships with the rest of the world degrade overnight.

• Report From Ukraine by Dave Morgan (Media Insider on 02/20/2025)

• Will American Women Ever Get A Mandate? Maybe 'Martha' Can Show Us by Barbara Lippert (Mad Blog on 11/07/2024)
  

  Barbara, beatufiul column, thank you.  I watched the Netflix documentary last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. P.S. Don't listen to the trolls, Martha certainly doesn't, and nor do I. Life is too short.

  Hey Tom, thanks for reading. I'm not sure what you are referencing. I just checked Motley Fool and the TSC common stick price has actually dropped $5 a share since the anti-DEI announcement, $262.53 on July 5 vs. $267.55 on June 27.
