This 25% statement does not correlate with EV sales nearly as much as it relates to the last few years of pandemic related detriment. There wasn't cars to sell for the last two years.

Article also says they βrange from Newfoundland to North Carolina.β
Apparently they need to adjust that range a bit.

This is about as uplifting as it gets in Florida today.

Wait. The Bearded Clam is a reference to an actual thing?

Yes, except it's not 40% taken off. $12 million is the actual winnings, and they will invest it for you and payout over 30 years at somewhere between 6 and 8 percent, depending on the current market. The advertised jackpot is a transparent lie.

The clam is about six inches. Article says most are 2.8 to 4.3 inches.
So, much bigger than your average clam, but not going to be climbing the Empire State Building any time soon.

It's a giant example of its species, not giant in general. Like imagine if a squirrel was twice as large as other squirrels. It's still a small critter, but it's a huge squirrel.

Yeah, production got screwed up the last few years. Lots of unemployment, etc. Fewer car sales overall, but a larger portion of them becoming EVs.

There was that chip shortage during COVID that really affected supply chains.

Someone help me with that math. If 1 in 7 is an EV, how did gas car sales drop 25%?
Fewer new cars being bought?
