I am looking to replace my trusty VW Golf with something sportier and nicer

But it is wall-to-wall tourists, it’s all trendy foodie $$$$ restaurants and $$$$ shops

It’s a problem with American expectations of governmental competence generally, and it needs to change.

Finally someone who is economically literate. Take your star.

I’d bet they could forensically prove otherwise, especially since the tempered glass didn’t shatter, but that kind of detailed investigation probably can’t be justified for an aggravated assault charge.

I suspect many cars will still have physical buttons for core controls like volume and HVAC, as this one does.

Lucid made over 7k cars in 2022 with 10-14k projected for this year. Not an astounding figure, but it ain’t 28.

Came here to say this. Companies like Google and Apple aren’t just hiring Stanford grads. There are so many free or low-cost resources available that allow people to learn coding, computer networking, cybersecurity, etc. without attending college. These self-taught people with a passion for what they do are often…

 blue collar jobs for non-college educated people have absolutely disappeared

With the current belt-tightening happening at tech companies, it will be interesting to see if Amazon continues to dump money into them. They clearly still have a very long road to mass deployment, much less anything resembling profitability, and appear to be way behind the likes of Waymo and Cruise in terms of actual…
