The ship has been interned by a belligerent foreign power. Based on my understanding of The Sea, the honorable thing would be for the crew to scuttle the Ever Given rather than let it fall into enemy hands.

Gas taxes should be higher. Like, much higher.

And here is a somewhat related thing made by a Hamster:

Iam shocked, just SHOCKED that some company form Carolina is suspicious of some big city journalist.

Thank you for being that guy—I'll make a correction! A whole year of Russian literature in college apparently taught me nothing!!!

I am That Guy: her husband was Ilya Oktyabrskiy.  “Oktyabrskaya” is the feminine form.

Fancy Kristen at an airport? Ha!

Very true, I don’t qualify for medical assistance for my daughter as I earn about $850 too much a year. As such the medical costs cost me $1600 so I lose out overall. There’s no good way to do it other than cap the max payout.

You’re also assuming there’s reliable bus service. I have actually done this kind of thing, testing backup commutes, and trust me, bare minimum you want the bike as an option.

If, for example, a $1,000 e-bike came with a $1,000 tax credit, and you could use that e-bike to get to work reliably every day, it would be a great reason to spend money on a new bike.

You know a car costs a lot more than that, right?

I almost never approve of means testing any government program. What if I made 50 grand on my 2019 tax returns, but lost my job in March 2020? Do I not get any incentive? What if I don’t have a job, and therefore don’t live within 10 miles of where I don’t work? Do I not get any incentive?

Open it up to everyone and…

If I wasn’t joke-running for the Senator of MO, I’d run for Gov/state rep/state senator of MN as a RINO. I like to think I’m a Republican as far as less spending, but the roads suck! The rest of me identifies fairly progressive, so I figured I should just own the title before anyone craps on me about it. (I’m honestly…

God forbid we use weight and fuel economy to tax commensurately with a vehicle’s damage to infrastructure and the environment. I, for one, am grateful that the government is finding ways to essentially subsidize my coworkers continuing to commute in their FERD 3500 MASCULINITYWAGONS.

I think the joke is north of your head right now.

no, no, just the battery expansion flaps (hydraulic) and the chain-driven electron pump and the electromechanical polarity re-reverser with its heavy-duty synchronizing chain guided with little tabs made of pressed M&M shells

But, this is ‘Murica, land of the free market and home of the politicians that are seemingly only paid to fling poo and hamper progress.

They have EV’s in Europe, too. And very cold weather. They seem to be coping, judging by the lack of news about this problem.

I just wanna know when we get to eat the rich. I’m hungry.....
