I agree. I think you can get that from most GM products these days. I had bad luck with a Subaru Outback and a Toyota Sienna that both needed significant work around 100k. Radiator and power doors on the Toyota and head gasket on the Subie. Of course, it could be just that, bad luck.

Depending on what class of vehicle, GM may be beating Toyota and Subaru in reliability. Also varies a bit on what reports you trust. That said, GM is in the conversation in nearly all of them and ahead of the pack in many.

Sure, but in the scenario where he leaves Michigan for the NFL, you’d have to assume he gets a raise.

Well, it’s a superior media platform for one. The apps (ESPN, Plex, Netflix, Hulu, etc) seem to run better and the GUI is more suited to this use. I own both and never find myself watching GofT or Th Walking Dead on thePS4.

I think the Xbone is a vastly superior media center. Better app selection, live TV option, plex box, runs any media format. blu-ray 4K, plays media from USB drive (PS4 may do this, I’ve never tried it) and a faster GUI when switching between apps.

Not a Zevon fan, I assume.

You have no idea how I grew up and how I ended up in St. Pete’s.  I bet you couldn’t find Montenegro on a map. Its hard to find privilege among those who grew up during and after the fall of Yugoslavia. But go ahead, that horse is high.

2014 census says 67.9% of Crimean residents are ethnically Russian and 77% consider Russian their native language. Then you have the Belorussian population.

Naaa. To be fair the Tea Party types have always denounced the free trade deals. The libertarians often have as well.

Not really true. There are groups on the right that opposed NAFTA, TTIP, and TPP.

My point is that you are reading too much into it. You are applying a western lens to Slavic grammar. Hell, in my town, you would hear an English speaker saying “the Germany” and “the Poland.” In the west “the Ukraine” is somewhat pejorative. In Montenegro, it’s how it is said.

You you are underselling your state’s 2nd largest city. Spokane is hardly agricultural. It’s economy’s largest sectors are finance/banking, manufacturing, medical, transportation, education and tourism.

Which is damning to nationalists like Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul. We’re seeing a migration from white supremacist to white nationalist to nationalist. It will destroy the nationalist ideology once it’s equated to racism which isn’t fair to a valid political philosophy.

Having lived in NY, Kiev and St. Pete’s, the use of “the” is indicative of referring to a region or population rather than a nation. In Eastern Europe, its interchangeable. It’s been in the lexicon so long, people are not sensitive to it. In THE United States, its seen as pro-soviet. Its possible that your hang up…

Ad hominem much? Why do you need to resort to insults instead of arguments? It makes you look stupid, but I know you are better than that.

It’s a colloquialism. Ad hominem much?

Oh please.

Or they didn’t vote.

What are you talking about?

I suggest you travel more. Go to the Ukraine, Hungary, Turkey, Russia and then hit the Middle East, it will change your view of American neocon foreign policy.
