Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Flight delays and cancellations continue to plague the busiest July 4 travel weekend since before the pandemic. Ongoing airline-industry staffing shortages had already contributed to higher-than-average cancellation rates at nearly every major U.S. airline this year — an industry-wide annual rate of 2.8 percent (or 116,000 flights), compared with 2.1 percent in 2019.

And airlines have cancelled four times as many flights on holiday weekends this year as they had in 2019.

House flipping has become so alluring that multiple reality TV shows hype the process and personalities involved . Now a new breed of flipper has emerged hoping zero emissions equal big profits. Helping them is an unusual confluence of factors plaguing EV manufacturers (supply chain problems, semiconductor shortages, unmet production goals, an emerging scarcity of … [Read more...] about EV demand is so hot that Tesla owners are flipping their cars like houses
