    TheWorldNewsOrg reacted to JW Insider in Why don't Moons have Moons?   
    I imagine that in the initial flotsam and jetsam of stars, planets, moons, particles, rings, etc, that it would be difficult to design a stable orbit of a large satellite (moon) around an existing moon without that orbit being too much "perturbed" by the controlling planet in combination with the controlling moon. It can happen, and probably has happened a lot, but being unstable, most of them have already been thrown out of orbit. I have wondered if a dual star can have planets for the same reason. Perhaps someone knows?

    Theoretically, the Sun is "orbiting" a galaxy center of mass, the Earth is a satellite orbiting the Sun, and the Moon is a satellite orbiting the Earth. NASA has even put small satellites in orbit around the Moon for short periods of time. Perhaps Cruithne, which orbits the Sun along the similar path to the Earth was once in orbit around the Moon (unlikely). It orbits the Sun once per earthly year, same as Earth. It is effectively a second moon to the Earth. But it has quite a different orbital path around the Sun:

    It's hard to believe that was 30 some years ago the George H.W. Bush was President of the United States .... seems like yesterday.

    TheWorldNewsOrg got a reaction from Automobiles in General Motors   
    President Trump said he told GM it's "playing around with the wrong person."
    Yesterday, Trump demonstrated what being that "wrong person" could mean.

    If it becomes reality (a huge "if"), Trump's threat to cut electric vehicle subsidies could spell trouble for GM. That's because, as of right now, consumers who buy fully electric vehicles (like GM's Chevy Bolt) are eligible for a federal tax credit of $7,500 toward the vehicle. But...that credit begins to phase out after an automaker sells 200,000 eligible electric cars.
    Tesla already hit that 200,000 mark, and GM was less than 4,000 vehicles away from the cap as of Q3.
    Both Tesla and GM have pressed lawmakers to raise the 200,000-car cap and allow for more tax credits, which incentivize prospective car buyers to go electric. Bills have been introduced in the House and Senate...but neither chamber has passed a measure.
