Shoot us a Text.Episode #1078: Today we're talking stormy shareholder meetings at Nissan, the EV factory tours drawing crowds in China, and the Gen Z men getting caught outsourcing their work to AI.Show Notes with links:Nissan's new CEO Ivan Espinosa faced intense scrutiny from investors at his first annual shareholders' meeting as he moves forward with a bold restructuring plan and ends Renault's board influence.Espinosa replaces ousted CEO Makoto Uchida, part of a March leadership overhaul aimed at reviving a struggling Nissan.Longtime partner Renault lost direct influence as its board reps, including Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard, were removed—marking a clear shift toward Nissan independence.Shareholders grilled Espinosa on governance, executive pay, and the automaker's U.S. and Japan strategy.Nissan plans to cut 20,000 jobs, shut 7 factories, and save ¥500B ($3.46B) by March 2028.It projects a ¥200B ($1.38B) Q1 loss, including ¥450B ($3B) in expected U.S. tariff hits.One attendee described the Q&A as “stormy,” saying Espinosa was “smooth and fluent… but equivocated without substance.”EV factory tours have become a cultural sensation in China, with tens of thousands scrambling each month for a glimpse behind the robotic curtain of brands like Xiaomi and Nio.Xiaomi Auto's factory receives over 27,000 applications per night for limited tour slots, offering racetrack test drives and now souvenirs.Nio drew 130,000 visitors last year; several other automakers are jumping on board.What began as three monthly tours at Xiaomi has expanded to weekday and weekend offerings for over 1,100 visitors.Visitors describe vast facilities with “only a handful of workers” as robots handle most of the labor.“It offers a chance to not only see the production line up close, but also experience the human side of the brand,” said analyst Freya Zhang.A new survey reveals that while AI boosts Gen Z productivity, a surprising number—especially men—are bending the rules by passing off AI work as their own.40% of Gen Z men admitted to submitting AI-generated work as their own; only 20% of women did the same.Nearly 1 in 3 Gen Z workers have knowingly broken company policy using AI and 30% say they've created fake work with AI to appear more productive.42% of Gen Z men say they worry AI could replace them at work—compared to just 33% of women.23% of men said they couldn't do their job without AI; only 14% of women felt that way.Eva Chan, career expert at Resume Genius, “The concern is workers start outsourcing not just tasks, but their judgment, confidence, and even their voice.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

[EP 25-109] Have you considered all the things that President Trump and his team are addressing? It's a lot to take in. Tariffs and dealing with our northern and southern neighbors. Here is what the president said about Canada.Pres Trump on Canada Ripped off for years. We're not going to bend. Subjected to cost we should have been subjected to. $200B a year to subsidize them. We don't need anything they produce. We do it because we want to be helpful.   You know my feelings on Canada. I don't want a 51st state that is as leftist as Canada. But the fact is, we don't need them. And if that pisses off Canadians, then so be it. They wouldn't be the first country who hates Americans, would they? Moreover, I don't care if we have relations with Canada in any way other than we understand they border us. We wouldn't allow Russia or China to invade via their border. Strategically, that's all they are…next to us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

[EP 25-082] What would it take to outrage you about government waste? I think it's much like illegal immigration in that if it's not directly impacting you, you don't care.What Leftism has done is to make people care. Ukraine is a perfect example where we have sent $200B to Ukraine and can't account for much of the money. Now what DOGE is making these people be accountable for spending, taxpayers are taking notice. And the reveals have been shocking.There is no area of government where waste fraud and abuse haven't shocked the senses. But look at the personal level… DOGE discovered a man in LA with 34 different names, addresses and SS number collecting $1,168,646 per year.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

(AURN News) — You could possibly receive a stimulus check from money saved through federal spending cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). President Donald Trump endorsed the initiative while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One. "I love it, a twenty percent dividend, so to speak, for the money that we're saving by going after the waste and fraud and abuse and all the other things that are happening. I think it's a great idea," Trump said.  So how much could you receive? “Could be a lot... I mean, if it's twenty percent, it would give back a lot of money to the taxpayer, and also would give an incentive for the taxpayer to go out and report things to us where we can save money." DOGE, headed by Elon Musk, revealed significant wasteful spending in a recent post on X. "Schools have spent nearly $200B of COVID-Relief funds with little oversight or impact on students," the department posted. "$393K to rent out a Major League Baseball stadium, $86K in Caesars Palace hotel rooms, $60k in swimming pool passes, and even an ice cream truck. All of this money was drawn with zero documentation." The proposal comes as part of DOGE's broader mission to identify and eliminate what it calls inefficient federal spending. The department continues to review expenditures across government agencies to identify additional areas for potential cost savings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There's not much to discuss at the local level here in San Diego or Poway, so I thought I would comment on some of the bigger national stories. We will discuss Donald Trump, Trump's attempt to partner with the Libertarian Party, breaking down political myths, and a review of our vacation in Ireland. Got a comment or question? Type it in the live chat on Facebook, X or YouTube. It's Wednesday, June 12, 2024. This is what John Riley thinks. Donald Trump and the Libertarian Party The headlines in the media are about the rowdy libertarians booing Trump. But that's just the tip of the iceberg in what made this event so nuts. Libertarians were trying to negotiate with a con man. They were hoping that by supporting Trump, Trump would in turn support some of their causes. There can be no advancement of liberty when dealing with an authoritarian con man. It's like Chamberlain trying to appease Hitler. It's like negotiating with terrorists. Breaking Down Political Myths: Trump lowered taxes for the middle class! Trump raised tariffs. Trump raised income taxes by limiting SALT deductions. Trump wants to raise tariffs much, much more. Don't tell me Trump lowered your taxes. GOP says, “Prices have now risen by 20.1 percent since Biden took office.” Prices will rise even more when Trump radically increases tariffs. Heather Cox Richardson: Just a reminder that what has driven us into debt is not Social Security and Medicare, but rather the George W. Bush tax cuts and the Trump tax cuts, both of which disproportionately benefited the wealthy and corporations.Even with those tax cuts, revenue is up. The problem with debt is mostly a spending problem. With rare exception, they run deficits nearly every year, even before those tax cuts. Trump and Bush tax cuts impacted revenue about $200B/yr. each, yet the deficit is nearly $2T. Biden: Time for billionaires to pay their “fair share”!Never defined, never explained, just means more. What is a fair share? Ireland Vacation Highlights Our Ireland vacation was splendid. Beautiful countryside villages and small fishing harbors. Mizen Head, Garnish Island, Cliffs of Moher, Kinsale Scilly Walk were highlights in Ireland. #SanDiego #poway #trump #gop #democrats #joebiden #donaldtrump #maga #angelamcardle #davesmith #misescaucus #lp #libertarianparty #russulbricht #edwardsnowden #julianassange #tariffs #incometax #inflation #nationaldebt #taxcuts #gwb #heathercoxrichardson #fairshare #berniesanders #kamalaharris #elizabethwarren #ireland #guiness #stpatrickscathedral #kinsale #fortcharles #scillywalk #mizenhead #garnishisland #eyeries #glengariff #cliffsofmoher #ronpaul #flattax Thank you to our livestream participants in the Community Forum.

Estimates are that $200B of goods have already been diverted away from the region surrounding Yemen in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. The disruptions in travel through the Suez Canal have cascading effects that are felt worldwide, as it puts additional pressure on the supply chain. There is fear of an event drawing Iran into some kind of conflict in the region, which would see the Straight of Hormuz come under the watchful eye of the Iranian government, further adding to shipping issues impacting the oil and LNG exports coming out of that geographic region. It is also worth noting that the expansion of BRICS into this region works to solidify China's connections through the Belt & Road Initiative, while also locking down and securing the shipping lanes to make sure that the oil can continue to leave the region through the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.

In luxury, there's Hermès… and there's everyone else. Stewarded by one French family over six generations, Hermès sells the absolute pinnacle of the French luxury dream. Loyal clients will wait years simply for the opportunity to buy one of the company's flagship Birkin or Kelly bags. Unlike every other luxury brand, Hermès:Doesn't increase supply to meet demand (hence the waitlists)Doesn't loudly brand their products (IYKYK)Doesn't do celebrity endorsements (stars buy their bags just like everyone else)Doesn't even have a marketing department! (they barely advertise at all)And yet everyone knows who they are and what they represent. But, despite all their iconoclasm, this is not a company that's stood still for six generations. Unbeknownst to most, Hermès has completely reinvented itself at least three times in its 187-year history. Including most recently (and most dramatically) by the family's current leaders, who responded to LVMH and Bernard Arnault's 2010 takeover attempt by pursuing a radical strategy — scaling hand craftsmanship.
