Multi-Billion Dollar Boondoggle: Biden Admin Plan For Electric Mail Trucks Flops Massively

Multi-Billion Dollar Boondoggle: Biden Admin Plan For Electric Mail Trucks Flops Massively

Multi-Billion Dollar Boondoggle: Biden Admin Plan For Electric Mail Trucks Flops Massively A Biden administration effort to electrify the U.S. Postal Service has produced just 250 electric mail trucks in over two years—far behind schedule and slammed by Republicans as a multibillion-dollar "boondoggle."The nearly $10 billion project aimed to roll out 35,000 battery-powered USPS vehicles by September 2028, with $3 billion funded through President Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), according to the NY Post.But despite $1.7 billion already spent, only a small portion of the fleet exists, prompting Republicans to push for canceling the remaining $1.3 billion in funding.“Biden’s multi-billion-dollar EV fleet for the USPS is lost in the mail and more than $1 billion is postmarked to order more,” said Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa).“I am working to cancel the order and return the money to the sender, the American people.”Wisconsin-based Oshkosh was awarded $2.6 billion to build the trucks. Yet as of late 2024, just 93 had been delivered—far short of the 3,000 expected. Production has been plagued by engineering issues, including airbag calibration failures and leaks so bad water poured out of the trucks.“This is the bottom line: We don’t know how to make a damn truck,” one insider told The Washington Post.The Post wrote late last week that a 2022 attempt by an Oshkosh executive to warn USPS about the problems was blocked by superiors. Former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy reportedly distanced himself from the delays.“I’m in the parcel delivery business, not the vehicle manufacturing business,” he told colleagues.By mid-2025, Oshkosh’s factory was producing only one truck per day—far below its projection of 80. The cost per vehicle: $77,692 for 28,195 units. USPS says it has ordered 51,500 Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs), including 35,000 battery electric models. To date, just over 250 electric NGDVs have been delivered.USPS also ordered 9,250 Ford E-Transit EVs, nearly 8,000 of which have arrived.“Modernization of the Postal Service’s delivery fleet is part of the organization’s $40 billion investment strategy,” a USPS rep said.The new trucks are meant to replace aging Grumman Long Life Vehicles from 1987, which are noisy, costly, inefficient, and known to catch fire.Despite Biden’s goal for a fully electric USPS fleet by 2026, the project has stalled. In a February 2025 report, the Government Accountability Office listed USPS as “high risk,” citing its inability to fund its services.USPS lost $9.5 billion in fiscal year 2024. Former President Donald Trump proposed merging it with the Department of Commerce.“[USPS has] been just a tremendous loser for this country... We want to have a post office that works well and doesn’t lose massive amounts of money,” he said.Now, new Postmaster General David Steiner, appointed in July 2025, inherits the troubled program just as USPS approaches its 250th anniversary.

Jeep maker Stellantis expects first-half net loss of $2.7 billion as tariffs bite

As pitches from founders come flooding in, one investor has revealed how VCs use a historic “law” to identify the best investments.“The power law in venture capital basically means that a small number of investments generate the vast majority of returns. So essentially, one or two massive winners outweigh all other investments combined,” Peter Specht, general partner at European VC firm Creandum, told CNBC Make It in an interview.He described it as “significant in decision-making for VCs.”The power law originates from the work of late-19th-century Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. He noticed that 20% of the pea pods in his garden produced 80% of the peas, and applied this observation to economic conditions and wealth disparity.Specht explained that, as VCs often finance ideas that are risky and innovative, they know that some of these startups will fail. But the returns from the companies that succeed can become “massive winners,” which “outweigh all other losses or smaller exits,” he said.“From a return perspective, you want to really hit the outliers. We want the Spotifys, the Revoluts, the Klarnas,” he said.“Outcomes at that size, or that scale, return more capital to investors and founders than five, billion-dollar exits. A $50 billion exit is way bigger than five $1 billion exits.”‘Pitch why it can become so big’Although the route to securing venture capital in Europe is improving, there’s still some way to go, according to Atomico’s State of European Tech Report 2024.In fact, the average seed round — the first official round of fundraising — in Europe was $1.4 million last year, compared to $3 million in the U.S., Atomico found. It’s even harder at the growth stage, with American startups twice as likely to raise funding rounds of more than $15 million.Some 60% of respondents told Atomico in 2024 that it was harder to raise external finance compared to the previous year.Specht said one key way to convince VCs that you’re building the next Spotify or Revolut is to show that your company has “outsized-outcome potential.”“You need to pitch why it can become so big, why it can become a category-defining company,” he said.This includes explaining how you’re tackling the market and how the product can expand over time. At the seed stage, having an early product or pilot users with positive feedback can help.If you don’t have the product yet, there needs to be evidence that the product is filling a gap in the market and is offering a genuine solution to customers.VCs also look for “exceptionally strong and ambitious founders,” Specht said, adding that he wants to understand their motivation and drive.“One thing we obviously ... like to see is if founders have a spike in a particular area, or a skill, and shown excellence in that,” he said.This could be work-related, such as having technical or leadership capabilities, or even excelling in sports or studies.‘Visionary storytelling’Given the gap between fundraising in Europe and the U.S., Harry Stebbings, the founder of 20VC, identified a difference in the way founders pitch.American founders tend to be more bold and ambitious, Stebbings said, compared to their counterparts across the Atlantic.“I don’t think Europeans are as good fundraisers [as Americans]. We need to tell better stories. We need to market ourselves better. We are too self-deprecating,” he told CNBC Make It.Some founders have even been “badly” advised to include “exit slides” in their pitches, Stebbings added. “That makes me feel sick, like I’m planning my divorce when I get married.”While Specht disagrees that European founders lack ambition, he thinks that startups in the region could tell better stories.“We have people and founders that dream really big and want to build massive companies,” he said. “In the general culture between Europe and the U.S., I think U.S. founders and Americans are pretty good in storytelling and also pretty good salespeople.”“There, we can focus on being even more bold, having an even more refined and visionary storytelling,” Specht added.

U.S. Treasury yields inch lower as investors weigh the state of the U.S. economy

U.S. Treasury yields were lower on Monday as investors weighed the state of the U.S. economy and considered the latest trade developments.At 5:33 a.m. ET, the 10-year Treasury yield was over 5 basis points lower at 4.379%. The 2-year yield was more than 2 basis points lower at 3.85%. The 30-year yield was also over 4 basis points lower at 4.95%.One basis point is equal to 0.01% and yields and prices move in opposite directions.It’s quiet on the economic data front this week, but investors will await the leading indicators reading for June on Monday, slated to be released at 10 a.m. ET.They will keep an eye on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech on Tuesday morning, existing home sales data for June on Wednesday, weekly initial jobless claims on Thursday, and durable goods orders on Friday.The Fed is currently in a blackout period — a policy that limits Fed officials from speaking publicly ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting next week where monetary policy decisions will be made, including interest rate cuts. The blackout period began on Saturday.Investors are also monitoring the latest trade news. Over the weekend, the White House reiterated that countries must begin paying tariffs from Aug. 1. On Sunday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said it’s a “hard deadline,” but said countries can still negotiate the tariffs after that date.“Nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1, but they’re going to start paying the tariffs on August 1,” Lutnick said.

NYU Professor Warns Companies Against Moving Cash Into Bitcoin — Unless You're Strategy, PayPal, Or A Meme Stock: 'This Is A Bad Idea'

NYU finance professor Aswath Damodaran is urging caution regarding corporate Bitcoin holdings, which have gained traction in recent years, with just four notable exceptions. Check out the current price of MSTR stock here.What Happened: On Saturday, in a post on X, Damodaran said that while the strategy has gained traction thanks to Strategy Inc.'s (NASDAQ:MSTR) outsized bets and Michael Saylor's cult-like status, it's fundamentally flawed for most firms.“In the last few years, Strategy has become a Bitcoin SPAC, with investors attributing savant-like status to Michael Saylor,” he says, noting that this has led more companies to shift their cash holdings into Bitcoin, which he views as “a bad idea, but there are four carveouts.”See Also: Stock Of The Day – Breakout Time For MicroStrategy?The renowned valuation expert outlines the exceptions for when, if ever, Bitcoin should be included on a corporate balance sheet. The first is companies whose leadership is especially skilled in trading the digital currency, “much better at timing trades than the average investor.”However, Damodaran warns that “the peril is that perception is not always reality,” highlighting the risks of misplacing trust in a CEO’s trading acumen in volatile markets like crypto. The second exception includes firms that use Bitcoin for day-to-day operations. “The bitcoin holdings should be proportional to bitcoin transactions, and operate more like working capital than investing bet,” he says, pointing ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

CNBC Daily Open: The silver lining of positive earnings could be too blinding

The U.K. finds itself in something of a sweet spot when it comes to trade, given it has deals with both the U.S. and European Union. That’s a turnaround after the uncertainty that followed the 2016 Brexit referendum, which prompted businesses to shift operations to mainland Europe and exports to fall. President Donald Trump’s threatened 30% tariffs on the EU might drive some businesses to reconsider the U.K.Jason Alden | Bloomberg Creative Photos | Getty ImagesA European Union (EU) flies alongside a British Union flag, also known as a Union Jack in London.In 2016, the U.K.’s vote to leave the EU prompted many businesses to shift operations to the European continent, taking investment and headcount with them.Fast forward to 2025, and the specter of U.S. President Donald Trump’s 30% trade tariffs on the EU, which will kick in on Aug.1 unless a trade deal is reached, could bring them back.“The U.K. could be a big indirect winner” if the threatened U.S. duties on the EU become a reality, according to Alex Altmann, partner and head of the German desk at London-based accountancy and business advisory firm Lubbock Fine.“If the tariff rate for the EU finally ends up anywhere near this 30% level then the U.K.’s much lower U.S. tariffs would offer a major incentive for EU companies to shift some of their manufacturing to the U.K. or to expand their existing U.K. facilities,” he noted in emailed comments. Chris Ratcliffe | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesA Range Rover Sport SUV on the production line at car manufacturing plant in Solihull, U.K.“The U.K. has a lot of spare manufacturing capacity after Brexit. A big gap between U.K. and EU tariffs would be a major opportunity for the U.K. to regain some of its lost status as a key European manufacturing hub,” added Altmann, who is also the vice president of the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany.As things stand, the U.K. has already struck a trade deal with the U.S. that reduces duties on cars to 10% and grants it the lowest duty on steel imports. London also has a “reset” deal with the EU, after the Labour government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer — who was opposed to Brexit — carved out a trade agreement following years of post-referendum acrimony.The post-Brexit trade landscapeThe sweet spot the U.K. now finds itself in comes after several years of uncertainty and angst for businesses, as they’ve tried to navigate a post-Brexit world of more red tape and barriers to export.That’s been an ongoing gripe for exporters, given that the 27-country EU remained the U.K.’s largest trading partner after Brexit was finally enacted in 2020. The EU accounted for more than 50% of Britain’s foreign trade in goods in 2024, according to the European Commission.Read moreTrump’s 50% steel tariffs hit the world but UK spared full blowTrump says U.S. has struck ‘comprehensive’ deal with UKUK and European Union agree to post-Brexit reset dealA number of big businesses, and particularly financial services firms such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, sought to avoid the transnational regulatory complexities of the post-Brexit landscape by relocating operations and assets to other financial hubs in the EU, such as Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. The exodus was ultimately not as dramatic as was initially feared.Supporters and critics argue over the merits and disadvantages of Brexit and the divorce from the EU’s single market and customs union, as well as the free movement of goods and people that came with EU membership. Yet most economists agree that Brexit dented U.K. exports, jobs and economic growth.The Office for Budget Responsibility, the U.K.’s independent forecaster, estimates that exports and imports will be around 15% lower in the long run, compared to if the U.K. had remained in the EU. Although economists argue over the impact on the wider economy, it’s generally agreed that the U.K.’s GDP is around 5% lower than it would have been, had Britain not voted to leave the bloc.Tariffs windfall? Not so fastWhile the U.K. is reveling in its newfound harmony with its American and European business partners, the extent of any windfall that comes as a result of the EU’s trading pain with the U.S. remains to be seen.It remains unclear whether Trump’s planned 30% tariff on the bloc will actually go ahead on Aug.1. The U.S. president’s mercurial nature means the ultimate levy rate could go higher — he previously threatened a 50% tariff — or lower, toward the baseline 10% level that the EU is pursuing.Not everyone agrees that the U.K. could benefit from trade misfortunes that befall the EU, whatever the outcome of last-ditch talks between Brussels and Washington.“First of all, the 30% tariffs for the EU, they’re not a given,” Carsten Nickel, managing director at Teneo, told CNBC last week, pointing out that any potential post-tariffs shift in business investment from Europe back to the U.K. would be unlikely to happen quickly.Jonathan Ernst | ReutersPresident Donald Trump attends a bilateral meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during the 50th World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, January 21, 2020. “If we were to talk about moving production facilities from Europe to the U.K. because the U.K. has a deal with the U.S. — the time horizon for that is a multi-year, if not decade-long, kind of time horizon,” he said.In addition, Nickel noted that the U.K.’s strength remained in financial services rather than in manufacturing, which remains more prevalent in export-oriented countries like Germany and Italy.“The reality is that the U.K.’s comparative advantage is not in high-end manufacturing ... so the idea that you’re going with this stuff that you’re currently producing in, say, Germany and Switzerland, and you’re moving that to the U.K. tomorrow ... it’s just not a decision that that a business leader in Europe can take just like that,” Nickel said.

Alaska Airlines and its regional subsidiary Horizon Air requested a ground stop to all flights Sunday night due to a computer system outage.The request to federal authorities kept Alaska and Horizon flights out of the air until the FAA said the stop was lifted after 2 a.m. ET.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve the issues,” read a message on the airline’s website.Even as the problem is now resolved, it could have a lasting effect and cause delays to the airlines’ schedules through Monday.“There will be residual impacts to our operation throughout the evening,” Alaska said in its earlier statement.Alaska and Horizon Air ticket holders were asked to check the statuses of their flights before they arrived at their departure points.AirlinesJun 24Systemic failures led to a door plug flying off a Boeing 737 Max, NTSB saysnewsJun 3Alaska Airlines to make Europe debut with Rome flights next yearnewsApr 23Alaska Airlines warns of slower demand as second-quarter profit outlook falls shortIt was one year ago nearly to the day that the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike’s sensor configuration update to its widely used platform triggered a system crash that affected airlines, medical facilities, businesses and police forces around the globe, with Microsoft computers showing “blue screens of death.”The exact cause of Sunday’s Alaska outage was not immediately clear.Patrick Smith contributed.

Run, Kamala, Run! (But Would She Lose?)

Run, Kamala, Run! (But Would She Lose?)

Run, Kamala, Run! (But Would She Lose?) Authored by Arthur Schaper via American Greatness,Former District Attorney, California Attorney General, US Senator, and Vice President Kamala Harris will make her big announcement this summer. Not about seeking a second, er, third bid for the White House in 2028. It’s all about 2026. Will she or won’t she run for California governor?California Democratic Party brass are weighing whether to give her another chance. Newsom’s polling keeps going down, while Kamala has seen a bump. Unlike the rest of the country, Californians are willing to work with the woke, broke, or joke of a Democratic Party. Trump Derangement Syndrome also lingers on in the Left Coast, and we won’t know whether Los Angeles (or even San Francisco) has learned their lessons. Voting for Kamala is one way to stick it to Trump and his agenda.One would think that California is moving in the right direction, though. I have mocked Newsom’s not-so-subtle intentions for president, and even in California, there has been increased movement to the right in terms of common sense on crime. Better people are getting elected locally, but California’s district attorneys, sheriffs, and mayors are non-partisan offices. Statewide constitutional offices, however, still carry the party label, so voters draw partisan conclusions. Californians have not welcomed the Republican brand yet, although there is improvement. For 2026, one poll suggested that 48% of Californians were willing to elect a Republican for governor.Only 48%, though? It’s a terrible thought to consider, but have Californians not suffered enough? What is the matter with this state? Maryland, Massachusetts, and even Vermont have elected Republican governors in the last ten years. Are they still feeling burned because of Schwarzenegger? He didn’t live up to all the conservative hype, but he did some good.Maybe voters are still suffering the hangover from Governor Pete Wilson and Prop 187 in 1994, which ruined everything for Republicans. However, President Trump has adopted a Pete Wilson-style stance on stopping illegal immigration, and he is following through on those commitments and getting higher approval ratings. Trump lost California to Harris, but she didn’t crack 60%. Californians are tired of illegal immigration, crime, corruption, $8 a gallon gas, boys in girls’ sports, and the public-school perversion, too.There is a chance for a Republican to break through.Will Kamala Harris do the full Richard Nixon? He ran for president in 1960 and lost; then he ran for governor in 1962 and lost again. Harris lost her primary bid in 2020, lost the general election bid in 2024, and will possibly lose in 2026. Republicans have a shot at the Sacramento top spot.The self-assured gaslighting from Democrats is heartening for our cause. Congressman Ro Khanna (D-East Bay somewhere crazy) suggested that Harris can fix the problems piling up in California.Sure, Ro.Harris’ speeches are nothing but a pile-up of platitudes and pablum. She burned through $2 billion of campaign funds, lost all swing states, and even the popular vote (not that it matters, since we are a republic, not a democracy). During the 2024 campaign, I was struck by the number of California Democratic incumbents who were debating their Republican challengers, even in my little assembly district in the South Bay. Adam Schiff debated Steve Garvey for the US Senate, too, though the polling indicated that Schiff was going to shiv the voters with his win in the US Senate. Why did they all debate?Kamala was dragging down the ticket, based on the Democrats’ own internal 2024 polling. Some reports exposed that she was never ahead of Trump, despite the initial reported polling bump when she bumped Joe Biden off the ballot. Could she strike out again and drag the Democratic ticket across the Golden State? The left-wing Resistance has reared its confused head, and they want to stick it to Trump and the Republicans. However, if Trump’s positive numbers hold and he fulfills key promises on border security, crime, and the economy, the lingering failures of the Biden regime could sting and stink up Kamala’s campaign.One thing’s for sure: if she jumps in, she all but clears the field on the Democratic side. Harris’s biggest Democratic challenger is former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who has burned bridges with the California Democratic establishment because she challenged Feinstein while she was still alive. Porter has pissed off the progressives as a performative politician rather than a purposeful policymaker since she claimed “rigged elections” against Adam Schiff during the 2024 US Senate primary, echoing the “MAGA talking points” about Election 2020. The intersectionality factors are clearly in Harris’s favor: she’s female, black, Asian-Indian (depending on which cameras are rolling), and has no redeeming leadership qualities whatsoever, i.e., the perfect diversity hire.Republicans must coalesce around one candidate as well. So far, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has announced having won two county-wide races, taking a stand on statewide issues, standing up for parental rights, and enacting shall-issue for concealed carry weapons permits in his county. Steve Hilton, a Fox News pundit with broad appeal and media savvy, has also jumped into the race. For Republicans to capitalize on this opportunity, they need to focus on key issues that have propelled recent conservative victories across the state. In 2020, voters rejected efforts to repeal Prop 209, which had ended affirmative action in hiring and college admissions. Voters have rejected school bonds and minimum wage hikes, yet supported a restored crackdown on crime. Republicans should not run from Trump, but they can’t coast on him either. They should tie every negative from the Biden regime to Kamala’s incompetence. Word has it that since some high-up Democrats like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi loathe the woman, key Democratic Party leaders won’t roll out the red—or rather blue—carpet for her campaign, either. James Carville said it best: “These fundraisers are burnt,” and they won’t want to burn more of their hard-earned campaign cash on crappy Kamala.All of this can help the GOP retake the California governor’s mansion. But will it be enough? Tyler DurdenSun, 07/20/2025 - 22:10

U.S. firms scramble to secure rare-earth magnets — imports from China surge 660%

U.S. stock futures moved higher early Monday as investors tracked the latest developments in trade and awaited the start of big tech earnings this week.Dow Jones Industrial Average futures added 117 points, or 0.26%. S&P 500 futures rose 0.24%, while Nasdaq 100 futures increased by 0.29%.Trade was once again in focus as the White House reiterated its position on tariffs. On Sunday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Aug. 1 the “hard deadline” for countries to start paying tariffs, though he also added that “nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1.”Wall Street is coming off a winning week for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, both of which continued to notch all-time highs. The S&P 500 ended the week higher by 0.6%, while the Nasdaq climbed 1.5%. The Dow ended the week slightly lower.The moves come on the heels of a solid start to earnings season. Of the 59 S&P 500 companies that have reported thus far, more than 86% have topped expectations, according to FactSet data.The major averages could receive a boost in the week ahead if Alphabet and Tesla — the first of the so-called Magnificent Seven companies set to report — manage to beat estimates. The megacaps are expected to be a major driver of earnings growth during the second-quarter earnings season. FactSet’s John Butters expects the Magnificent Seven will post earnings growth of 14% in the second quarter, while the other 493 S&P 500 companies are seen posting growth of just 3.4%.“We’re at an all time high for the [S&P 500] right at the beginning of earnings season,” said Mark Malek, investment chief at Siebert Financial, adding, “If we can get through this earnings season with not too many major failures, I think that is really, really important at this point, if we want to continue this upward momentum that we have in the market.”On the economic front, the June reading for leading indicators, which are predictive metrics for the overall market and economy, is scheduled for release on Monday at 10 a.m. ET.Verizon Communications and Domino’s Pizza are among the companies set to report earnings Monday.Aug. 1 is ‘hard deadline’ for tariffs, Commerce Secretary Lutnick saysCommerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that Aug. 1 is the deadline for countries to begin paying tariffs to the United States, but said that “nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1.”“That’s a hard deadline, so on August 1, the new tariff rates will come in,” Lutnick said on CBS News, when asked about the deadline for his tariffs on the European Union.President Donald Trump’s tariff deadline has shifted since he announced his steep levies on trading partners on April 2, but White House officials now maintain that Aug. 1 is a firm deadline.“Nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1, but they’re going to start paying the tariffs on August 1,” Lutnick said.— Erin Doherty, Sarah MinStock futures open little changedStock futures opened little changed Sunday night.Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell by 18 points, or 0.04%.
