Donald Trump, Meme StockAfter the stock-market frenzy that ensued when Trump Media & Technology Group started trading on Tuesday (under the ticker symbol DJT), one thing is almost certainly true: Donald Trump is now the chairman of the most overvalued company on Nasdaq.  Trump Media had a grand total of $3.4 million in revenue in the first nine months of 2023, against more than $10 million in operating losses. Its only product is Truth Social, Trump’s right-wing Twitter clone, which has a tiny user base, few advertisers, and no real prospect of challenging the dominant players in the social-media space. And yet, as of market close on Tuesday, Trump Media was valued at almost $8 billion, making it worth more on paper than The New York Times.Trump Media is, in other words, a meme stock. Like GameStop and AMC before it, it trades not on fundamentals, but on emotion. Exploiting that…

Simplifying Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports for Truckers  A common misunderstanding among truckers and those in the commercial driving industry is the assumption that a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) is required for every pre-trip inspection. However, the actual regulations are more specific and less demanding, focusing primarily on post-trip inspections. Pre-Trip and Post-Trip Inspections According to industry standards, a pre-trip inspection must be conducted before every journey to ensure the vehicle is in good operating condition.

In such cases, the driver must immediately report the issue to their employer but is not required to file a DVIR. The critical aspect of the DVIR comes into play during the post-trip inspection, which is required at the end of each day’s operations. If…
