Winning a Corvette in the 60's sounds like a worthy trophy. Winning a pickup truck in the 2010's sounds like a Bed Bath and Beyond Coupon to them. I could see if they continued with giving out high end models like a ZR1 Vette, Cadillace CTS-V, or similar, and not a base model small class pickup. I can see why this…

What are you some kind of socialist? In this country we celebrate the rich and famous by giving them things and fighting (and voting) for them to have it all. 

Hyundai Motor America chief marketing officer Dean Evans said in 2018, “you can buy the sponsorship, and then if you don’t have enough money to run enough TV commercials, you almost don’t look like the sponsor.”

You’re mistaken if you believe that all, or even most, lawyers and software engineers make $500K+ yearly. To be sure, SOME do, but the vast majority would probably consider HALF that figure to be a very good year. 

True but you also can’t think of league minimum players like “regular workers” who make 500,000/year salaries. It’s something they’ll make for maybe 2-7 years, if lucky. The lawyer or software engineer who makes 500k will make that for 25+ years.

My family and I consider this issue closed

1. His concealed carry permit should also be automatically revoked for violating various FAA and gun storage rules. Let him reapply again in 5 years.

Isn’t it amazing how quickly “responsible gun owners” decide they shouldn’t be held responsible for their actions?

I’m going to guess a large charitable contribution may have been made in his name around this same time.

“My wife and I consider this case closed". The Supreme Court of Entitled Privilege has spoken.

“I’m gonna bring muh gun to the walled-off rich people resort because hurr durr Mexicans and just kind of assume that’s legal because I have an arbitrary permit that applies in whatever bumfuck state I built by McMansion in”

Cup drivers fly private all the time. And if you fly private, you often just get waved by or at most, a cursory check to get on your plane.

If you forget where you put your gun, you shouldn’t have a gun. 

I once had to throw away a swiss army knife at the airport because I’d left it in my backpack. I’d put it there months ago, forgot about it and didn’t even realize it was there while packing.

“I forgot it was in my bag”

the strength of our products and revenue has masked this dysfunctionality for a long time.

Wanted a Bronco = FORD TAKE MY MONEY.

Maybe the problem isn’t having too many engineers, but having too many executives with unrealistic ideas about their ability to predict the future.

The problem probably isn’t the engineers, but rather all of the different management teams who give the engineers ridiculous, conflicting directions and requirements.

Me too - I was going to say... ehhh... this is a stretch.
