It’s hard to know what to believe from the media any longer. Yesterday they are reporting on the TPP and talking like it was a done deal that Trump suddenly dropped the axe on (when really it was never enacted and the dems weren’t crazy about it either); then there was stories about how the White House website was…

Hopefully this out-of-control agency is being reined in and it’s knee-jerk job-killing industry-destroying over-regulations are being massively scaled back.

I say good. The EPA has been expanding there authority too much lately. Sure we need to keep an eye on the various industries and how they are impacting the environment. But when they start micromanaging how a farmer or rancher handles water on their own property, that’s where we should draw the line. And they didn’t…

The superfund legislation was just another way to extract money from the federal budget, i.e. Taxpayer

And why, pray tell, is a car blog playing investigative reporter on environmental policy? As a horsepower-loving American who lived through the horsepower-starved 80's, the only reporting on this issue I want to see from Jalopnik is you reporting that the impossible mpg requirements scheduled to go into effect in a…

Business as usual my friend. The EPA has the benefit of being one of the few agencies that actually generates money via the collection of regulatory fess (in addition to fine). Further, relaxing regulations will have the effect of INCREASING the collection of regulatory fess because easier regulations=less money to…

I know a previous employee of the EPA and they have said that this is absolutely normal every election cycle, and that the media are being goaded into articles like the one above.

Happy tuesday.

The rest of the world has no defense.

Yeah, but the “train-hotel” model doesn’t even work in europe - DB and SNCF are killing off almost all their overnight sleepers. OBB is picking up a few routes but will probably kill them.

High speed rail makes no sense. Air travel is already available. The cost to make high speed rail available should be spent on better air transportation. When people move the planes can change destination. Train tracks are set.

Just proves that everything in F1 is a ShitShow.

I love living in California, but we have some seriously stupid and illogical people here.

Then it is Apple’s fault for not stopping me from lying. I wanna sue.

I’d like to sue the weather for not accommodating my mood today.

The United States of excessive unnecessary litigation.

I will never go to that state. Haha. California makes me cringe.

I’m suing the world because water is still wet!

Looks like it’s time for the tech companies to start hiring gun lobbyists to make sure they also can’t get sued for individual dumbassery which may involve the products they produce...

Are we surprised? California is a communist shithole with a deathly aversion to fun and hurt fee-fees. I imagine California as that one retired neighbor you had that had nothing to do all day but look out the window and complain about what they saw times roughly 40 million.   

I actually like the rules in place about that motor. It would invite creative engine designs, especially in the wake of other considerations (Your fuel tank can only be a certain size, so do you go for a high-RPM twelve cylinder, or more efficient torquey V6?)
