$1.4bn is a lot to fall through the cracks, even for Tesla

"attention is returning to the group’s underlying numbers, now that its fully diluted #StockMarket valuation has crashed from $1.7tn to below $800bn.
Such anomalies can be red flags, potentially indicative of weak internal controls. Aggressive classification of operating expenses as investment can be used to artificially boost reported profits."

Tesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing
https://electrek.co/2025/03/19/tesla-tsla-accounting-raises-red-flags-as-report-shows-1-4-billion-missing/
"Many #Tesla shorts and detractors have questioned Tesla’s #accounting for years...
Today, the #FinancialTimes has released a new report pointing to a $1.4 billion gap in assets...
The report also points to other red flags...
but with #Trump and #Musk kneecapping the #SEC, repercussions are unlikely."

Tonnes of microplastics infiltrate Australia’s agricultural soils each year
How microplastics affects soil and food health
"We found every kilogram of compost contains between 1,500 and 16,000 microplastic particles. In weight, this equates to between 7 and 760 milligrams of microplastics per kilogram of compost. "
"In Australia, about 26% of compost produced at organic waste processing facilities is used in agriculture. So, we estimate that between 2.7 and 206 tonnes of microplastics is being transported to Australian agricultural land from compost each year."
"The absence of clear guidelines leaves composting facilities, waste processors, and end users vulnerable to unintended plastic pollution."

There is a country smaller than Cuba that is the second largest exporter of food in the World.
It has Universities, banks, homes and farms powered by electricity, day-cares, transit systems, electric trains, well lit restaurants, apartment towers, research companies, boat builders, bed makers. And exports more flowers than any other nation.
And it uses less electricity than bitcoin. Which produces nothing.
Just wondering.
Who are the true 
heads? Those that do not pick up after their dog and allow possible pathogens to enter the environment or those who pick up after their dog but leave the bag thus adding plastic to the environment and eventually adding pathogens to the environment.
Picking up poop protects your four legged companion and those of others. It is being health conscience and neighborly.
A dog person always has several bags in their pocket. For themselves and for other dog people who forgot theirs.
There are solutions. I really like the Dicky Bag. dickybag.com
