Rivian stock was selling for $146 a share two years ago. It is now at $13.59 a share.

Um, somehow, Wall Street made the stock price jump up over $26 recently for NO real reason. The Wall Street bunch are complete crooks. Can't make money by earning it, they have to steal it.

I’ve been stuck in the snow several times during my life. We always pushed the car out of the snowbank.
