Tesla's profit margins plunged last quarter after the EV maker made aggressive price cuts. On an earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said he'd push ahead with the strategy. Musk could sacrifice short-term profits to grow Tesla's market share. Tesla disappointed its shareholders on April 19 when it revealed how its aggressive price cuts have affected its business. The carmaker started slashing the price of its Model Y SUV and Model 3 sedan in January — and its latest earnings report showed that profit margins have fallen dramatically over the past quarter.

SEOUL: North Korea has invited foreign golfers to a tournament in Pyongyang, another tentative step in the reclusive country's reopening after Chinese and Russian officials attended a military parade last month. The country has been under a rigid self-imposed Covid-19 blockade since early 2020, but there are increasing signs Pyongyang may be becoming more flexible on border controls, experts say. "The Pyongyang Golf Course hosts an amateur golfers competition in spring and autumn every year," read a post from Aug 2 on Pyongyang's official DPR Korea Tour website.

Doyo ('Exorcise corruption in government instead,' Human Face, 6/2/23), is on point — religious leaders who are active in the deliverance ministry, particularly in casting out evil spirits that demonize people ought to get involved — makialam — to cleanse government service from corruption. Systemic corruption in government service is no longer merely an outcome of the flawed character of elective and appointive officials. These officials, from my perspective, are minions of malignant spirits tasked to destroy the nation.
