3rd gear: I don’t see a guy with a degree in theology to be a bad choice for Nissan. Only way this guy saves Nissan and stays out of jail is through divine intervention, so having a guy with educational background towards asking for it seems like a good move.

Nah, that’s like typical angry boomer style right there.

“Also, I’m your average straight white guy, and I feel like I get a TON of hatred and vitriol online on a pretty regular basis”

If you’re that sensitive about how people online treat you, a straight white male - you wouldn’t last 30 seconds being literally any other gender, race or sexual orientation in literally any real world or internet situation without having a full-on mental breakdown.

Hey Eddie! I was reading Alanis’s piece because holy crap the vitriol she and her fellow women car journalists get compared to the stuff I get as a woman covering tech and nerd stuff is incredible (and I love her coverage of the subject).

Yea Jalop.  Fuck you for covering the biggest story in the automotive world right now.  How could you!!

It’s sad how numb we’ve become to these school shootings

So that’s a good excuse for not allowing CA to set stricter rules on emissions? What kind of logic is that?

... and somehow it’s ok to limit the state from actually doing something about its own problems?

That’s not true. I mean, if they had enough evidence of collusion with Russia in the election interference, that would have been worse. But what you have here is President using congressionally-approved aid as an attempt to bribe a foreign country into investigating a political rival for political gain. Aid that would…

Perhaps if this country didn’t have a completely and utterly messed up healthcare system that costs *significantly* more than any other developed nation…then employers would be far more open and willing to hire actual workers and not these ridiculous ‘temps’.

You are an idiot trying to defend this. You state that there are vehicles on the island (this is true), but then try to twist it as “oh, it’s just a normal thing”, which it is not.

They only use motorized vehicles when absolutely necessary, and during season only for an emergency. Off-season, yes the vehicle count goes…

take away their health coverage in favor of Medicare for all

I don’t think that is right. It is not 29% of income, someone butchered the 29% factoid along the way. From what I’ve read other places, I think the statement is supposed to be along the lines of “The average American, with employer provided health insurance, pays 29% of the insurance premium; the other 71% is covered…

You posted this same stupid comment on the last Trump article, and I’ll say the same thing I said to you then.

It’s not financially feasible to do this. Most of the cars that GM makes for China are small cars sold under the Baojun and Wuling brands. By the time you deal with tariffs and shipping costs, your margins would be completely eliminated and probably upside down if you tried to produce them in the US.

Could God make a movie so shitty Eric Roberts wouldn’t star in it?

Or.. they mean.. Hey, maybe you should change your mind about irrationally hating people, join the 20th century.... and not be a permanent boil on humanity.  If those words offend.. you may be the problem.. (glad ya brought the nomex) 

If this happens — and that’s a big frickin’ if — it’s likely going to go down like the last round of working-class tax cuts.
