In the spirit of Carvana’s insulting offer for my car, I will offer to buy the company for $10,000. The offer comes with a free bonus of spamming their inbox constantly asking if they want to sell for basically nothing.

As God is my witness, if that enormous rust bucket shows up in David Tracy’s front yard...

I carry jumper cables, so that’s really the only fix I can offer at the side of the road (beyond helping them to push their car out of traffic). I’ve rescued cars with a jump, but I’ve also been told the issue is something else and haven’t gotten out my cables, just wished them good luck.

I’d always assumed the helpful motorists were offering a jump after the (now broken) vehicle operator had spent 5-10 minutes fruitlessly cranking the engine. I suppose it’s also possible the charging system gave up the ghost... after subscribing to several various car-related youtube channels the past few years — and…

Police serve a vital function to society and their presence is needed. I think virtually everyone with any measure of sense can admit that at some level. However, one bad apple really does spoil the bunch. Until police officers and their unions are willing and able to act in the best interests of the society they are…

Looks like they didn’t even blow their whole load here either. They saved the extended warranty pressure sale for when you actually arrived at the dealership.

He lost his job and went to jail for this and lost his license for almost 3 years.

Yeah, it wasn’t killing enough poors 

>implies star trek never did weird hand-wavey bullshit on the reg

If a barbed-wire tattoo on a flabby white bicep were a TV show...

It did give us that great meme template though. 

100%.

This goes way beyond shipping costs. This whole thing has opened up the eyes of companies to the consequences of adopting lean without mitigating against the bullwhip effect. This is what I’m always on about utilization rates. High utilization = high efficiency, but also extremely low disruption tolerance. Your…

So, why wasn’t his car properly examined by the authorities? I mean, bodies in trunk are Crime Scene 101. And if his vehicle was unknowingly impounded, why did it take so long to connect back to the victim?  Either details are missing here, or we have another case of shoddy investigative work.  

That’s the shocking part of the story!

I’ve argued this before, and I’ll argue it again: THIS ISSUE DEMANDS REGULATION.
