Many US states have laws that stop or control car makers from selling directly to customers. These laws were made to protect car dealerships from unfair competition from manufacturers. The dealer model has existed since the early history of the auto industry. When you factory order, you get exactly what you want, in the color you want, and the dealer doesn't have any finance charges -- which may reduce the cost to you. The downside to ordering is that incentives and rebates are good only on the day of delivery, unless stated otherwise (in writing) by the dealer.

Japan's obesity rate is low due to a combination of factors, including diet, physical activity, and cultural norms. According to the CDC, nearly 40% of the U.S. adult population is obese. This means more than 100 million American adults are obese, while 20 million adults have severe obesity. The new data also showed, severe obesity is higher among women compared to men.
There's no market for Ozempic over there!

People might not seem to care about climate change due to a combination of factors including: a lack of personal experience with its immediate impacts, skepticism about the science, feeling overwhelmed by the scale of the problem, denial as a coping mechanism, a belief that individual actions won't make a difference, and concerns about economic disruption from potential mitigation efforts; essentially, the issue can feel distant, complex, and potentially too large to tackle individually.

The benefit of compound interest is even more pronounced the longer you invest. The earlier you start saving or investing, the more time compounding has to work its magic. Regular contributions will increase your future value even more. This means, not only will you earn money on the principal amount in your account, but you will also earn interest on the accrued interest you've already earned. The idea of compound interest (as compared to simple interest) is fundamental to investing because it can ultimately lead to a greater return in your account.
Understanding compound interest can help you make better investment decisions. Compound interest can help you reach your financial goals, such as saving for retirement, a child's education, or a vacation.
