[ad_1] Image source: Aston Martin I’m looking for the best bargains to buy following recent share price turbulence. After doing some initial research, it seems that Aston Martin Lagonda‘s (LSE:AML) share price may warrant a close look. At 61.3p per share, the FTSE 250 stock’s dropped more than a quarter in value over the past month, and 61.6% over a one-year horizon.

[ad_1] You might’ve heard of the law of induced demand — but have you had it explained to you in a British accent? All kidding aside, the UK-based Global Cycling Network just put together one of the best video explainers we’ve seen on why countries are wasting billions of dollars on “junk roads” — and why we need to reduce motorists’ lane capacity and open up space for other ways of getting around if we want to solve some of society’s most pressing problems.The first 25 minutes are perfect for those who have never really questioned the idea that more asphalt…

[ad_1] A recent breach of Berkshire Hathaway-owned private jet company NetJets has revealed a guide for flight attendants serving Elon Musk, per a Bloomberg report. The memo offers an interesting glimpse into the personal preferences of the world’s richest man. Some of the preferences are surprising for the CEO of Tesla, a company dedicated to sustainability. Apparently Musk isn’t “interested in conserving fuel” because he “wants to fly as quickly and as direct” as possible. Other inclinations are not surprising at all, like the note to staff not to offer him technical help. “Mr. Musk considers himself self-sufficient and does…
