Experts questioned whether the move to rework guidance and rescind funds was legal

And nobody - NOBODY - raises prices for nonsense corollary reasons like the oil industry. Tidal wave in Philippines? Gas gets more expensive. Russia invades Ukraine? Gas gets more expensive. Gas is too expensive? Gas gets more expensive.

Nailed it. And this all plays into the untold story of the past century and a half. In the late 1800's we had the Gilded Age - an era that primarily benefitted the wealthy and is again becoming alarmingly similar to ours. Wealthy oligarchs consolidated their fortunes through monopolies and manipulated the markets and…

Stellantis and VW are suffering from the same problem. Executives that make cars they think people want instead of making cars that people actually want. Nearly the entire lineup of both companies is just... meh. There’s practically no innovation, they’re just regurgitating garbage.

My feeling about buying “toys” is that you should be able to afford the toy outright without needing a loan. Not saying you should ultimately buy it that way, but you should be able to endure that financial impact; everyone should evaluate their own financial situation, what interest rates are, and what other…

No Dice, but it does give me an idea for a restaurant that serves discarded food found in local dumpsters.

I used to go to car shows but then I realized that car shows are like strip clubs. You spend a bunch of time, energy and money just looking. My time is better spent enjoying who/what I have.

Yet another reason to vote ND

By my figuring, $17,500 is about 115 nights at a Hampton Inn, after which you’d still have your wife, the respect of your neighbors, and your sanity. ND.

Santorini residents should be issued hunting permits, allowing each adult to harvest up to 3 cruise ship passengers annually. 

Cruise ship tourists suck ass. They don’t stay in hotels, they don’t eat in restaurants, and they buy a few meagre trinkets. In exchange they take up space, treat locals like garbage, and act like decidedly-entitled pricks. Cruise ship tourists contribute very little to local economies.

One the one hand, you have a politician with actual policy ideas.

I love cars and internal combustion engines. Unfortunately, the ICE is literally killing us and we need governmental action to help build suitable replacements and supporting infrastructure.

OK, clarification: Donald Trump has no policies or policy ideas. He has vague ideas, mostly bad ones. Like maybe we could expose our guts to the sun to kill covid. He is however surrounded by really dangerous people who have policies, and those people know they can get him to sign off on anything if they just suck up…

Tesla (the corporation) is also in the midst of a long-term ‘critical steering error’.

I had one just like this (there was a Jalopnik article about it when I sold it on BaT, too lazy to look it up) not as nice, but same delightful orange. I always wanted one, these are cool, to my eye they look like a mini Italian exotic from the same era.

This seems plausible

Either that, or they used it to blackmail/extort someone, who then killed themself

That was the station my logic train arrived at as well.
