So does mine, and they are paying me more for it in November than I paid for it 2 years ago. Not sure what that has to do with the BMW this is about though.

People have the option of pouring gasoline on themselves and lighting themselves on fire too, does that make it Exxon’s fault?? Tesla didn’t kill anyone, a driver chose to do something stupid and careless. Something Tesla warns you NOT to do. The results of stupid decision making usually sucks, sometimes worse than…

Good luck actually getting to 114.......

i3 sales numbers say pod on wheels doesn’t work.......

Do you REALLY think private companies are out there spending $70k to store furniture so they can put down new carpet? The average private company has an average salary of $111k per year? The average private company spends millions on Herman Miller chairs for everyone? If so, you probably need to lock yourself in a…

A couple of examples...........

You are missing the point. My comment was about wasteful spending (“stop pissing away millions on waste”). Same comment can be applied to any segment of government spending in your pretty chart. I would suspect any average 5th grader could spend a few minutes looking at the budget of any federal or state agency and…

Their Athletic Dept. actually had a $4M “profit” at the end of their last budget year. That wasn’t my point though. The highest paid state employee in West Virginia is WVU’s football coach at $3M per year. “Self funded” or not, saying there is no money for research is bullshit and priorities may not be in order when…

Well, there is a pretty significant difference in $1B and $8B, but the real key is the waste and misuse of funds in both.

WVU is a public university. The school has an annual budget of $1.04 billion. The athletic department alone has a $74 million budget, of which $26 million goes to athletic department salaries. I don’t feel to sorry for the folks that only got $70k for sniffing diesel fumes. The school should be able to figure out how…

Unfortunately “relevant body” in this case refers to a government agency that is less than effectively run and already holds a clear bias toward whatever political agenda is being dictated by the sitting President that put that agency’s leadership in place. As much as we might like to think they would vet the…

Or get the EPA to manage their shit right, stop pissing away millions on waste and actually test things rather than trust manufacturers to police themselves. With an $8+ billion annual budget, they should be able to manage.

Didn’t I see something the other day about BMW delaying the release of a new diesel though?

Bounties are never good, the kind of tend to lead to false accusations. If the accused party is able to recover financial costs incurred in proving their innocence from the “research group”, then I’m all for it.

When do you break your ankle?

Good point, the Braves have been pretty shitty for years. Lots of empty seats and parking spots, so they prices went down. Go back to when they were winning and filling the stadium.

If you lived within walking distance of Turner Field, it was great. If you drove down and had to park in the private lots, you paid the “advertised” $25 on the hand written sign (that changed based on how big a game was), then got extorted by the guy you already paid to give him an extra $20 to make sure nothing…

Valid point, but their owners manuals (those things people never read) refer to the collection of aids (Lane Assist, Collision Avoidance Assist, Speed Assist, Traffic Aware Cruise Control, Auto Lane Change, Auto Park, Auto High Beam and Auto Steer) as the Autopilot Tech Package. The description of every one of those…

McDonalds markets some of that crap they serve as good food.
