Oh theres definitely something wrong with our society because we dont have universal health care, but theres also something wrong forcing your customers to pay more to subsidize the health care for their employees when they already subsidize their salary with their tips

There are no factory incentives or anything on these cars anymore. That is usually the bulk of most published discounts. 

Menu prices aren’t itemized to show the cost of each individual ingredient and things like property rent, utilities, equipment, supplies, or anything else the restaurant has to pay for - so this practice is clearly meant to hide the fee from the customer because restaurant owners know that customers generally do not…

I agree. I don’t want to see restaurant expenses added to the menu price on my bill and not find out the final price until the bill shows up. The menu price should be the final price excluding taxes and tip. Otherwise it is just false advertising in my opinion.

if you can’t be profitable enough to pay your employees: raise your prices or go out of business. don’t hide behind a fake tax buried in the fine print.

Just roll it into the price. Why does it have to be a surprise fee?

I wouldn’t really fault Ferrari for waiting on full EV.  They aren’t really the company that has to do things “first” to matter.  They are more about style and doing things “the best” in their eyes, so coming out with an EV after the technology has matured makes some good sense.  It’s not like they have to change…

I don’t travel that much but I constantly get the “we tossed your bag” cards in my luggage. I have a stack of them to show how random they must be.

There is being generous, and then there is just being plain stupid and being taken advantage of because some people tricked you into thinking that tipping $50 because someone poured you a glass is a thing you should do. Tipping the server $5 bucks instead is perfectly reasonable.

Since the whole point of spending $250 on a shot of scotch is telling people that you spent $250 on a shot of scotch, go ahead and treat yourself and truthfully tell people that you spent $300 on a shot of scotch.

I’ll add some comments from a co-worker of mine who owned one up until recently. “You get a mostly reliable yet thirsty and under-powered V8.”

Apparent heterosexual man prefers to speak to attractive woman as opposed to other man alone in bar. Film at 11. 

Yup, it’s pretty awful.

I am also working as a Mechanical Engineer within a big automotive supplier in Michigan right now. Within the past 6 years here, I’ve seen how much the Automotive industry can affect this state, from having low priced houses and broken roads to having higher priced homes and paved roads. It’s a scary thought If the…

This is exactly what a lot of economic futurists keep pointing at, they just predicted it a little too soon. From “The End of Work” and all of the talk about Universal Basic Income, etc etc; they propose corporations basically paying “tax” equating a robot doing work to a human doing work on an hourly basis. This…

Ok, on an unrelated note: did the whole desktop site flip for anybody else? The article is on the left and all the suggestions/ads and whatnot are on the right now.

With the average age of a car being around 10 yrs old, even if EV’s were superior to ICE in every way, we would still expect 10-30 years for most of the public to convert. Without forcing people, turnover takes time.

Counterpoint - if you’re renting for work, definitely prepay for the tank. I’m already busy with work travel, the last thing I need is to find a gas station when I’m ready to leave.

What’s the automotive equivalent of a meth addiction? This.

Drove one of these. Super Duty used to mean it.
