Shipping costs, import taxes, language barriers, shipping lead time, time zone communication issues, etc. There are actually many advantages to domestic manufacturing if you can do away with the pesky problem of labor cost.

No one needs a car that powerful.

They don’t have to make it not gross. If they pass enough laws to suppress competing services, people will be forced to use public transit. And it’s easier to kill the competition than it is to try to keep up.

I’d argue that 100% of pot smokers are super comfortable doing a lot of things when they’re high...because they’re fucking high.

Me! I had that perception! Because I know a few, and it’s silly accurate. Every car demographic has those people (the high and mighty), but DAMN it sure seems like the Prius has it especially bad. There’s a reason they made the episode...

Still better than Celebrity Brain Crash.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. Did you reply to the right person?

It has nothing to do with “fair” pay. The fair pay is what a worker and an employer agree to.
If you live a lifestyle that costs X, and have a job that pays Y, if X>Y then you either need to cut back on your expenses or get a job that pays more. These are the kinds of decisions that functioning adults have to make…

That’s not really a fair way to look at it. If I had four kids and lived in a 4 bedroom 3 bath home on 30 acres, I could make 50K per year and it still wouldn’t be enough to survive. If Uber isn’t working out to minimum wage, then find another job. If you’re working Uber, you have a car and a cell phone and with…

Because it doesn’t pay as much as those real jobs. That’s what makes a job a “real job” as opposed to a “paying hobby.” You make enough money to survive.

Wow, you actually changed my mind on this subject. I think it’s hard to be a “gun lobby” and lobby for restricting rights to the product you’re trying to sell, but I get it. It makes sense to ensure that gun buyers know how to use the product at least.

And the automotive lobby is responsible for every drunk driver? “They should lobby for stricter licensing requirements!”

No, Chicago has bad gun violence because the people there want to fucking shoot each other.

This will be used specifically to avoid police chases. And as it becomes more and more common, criminals will begin checking their vehicles over as soon as they’re in a safe location. I think this is a very real concern.

Ask Paul Walker. :/
Not attempting humor, just honesty.

I know you didn’t say that, I was trying to clarify what I believed Quade meant. “Good” and “bad” is very subjective, but it’s easier to define the type of image that Nascar teams try to foster (patriotism, etc). I thought Quade was taking a shortcut by saying “bad.”

I’m not talking punishment, I’m talking natural consequences. Cutting your applicant pool in half (regardless of quality) yields a natural consequence of reducing the average quality of employees. Now the fact that women don’t make up half of the applicants does significantly reduce the magnitude of this…

It’s not about looking good vs. bad (very subjective terms), it’s about the image your company wants to foster vs. the image you give it. Nascar’s job is to make money, which means attracting viewers. If Petty allows drivers to kneel, viewers will turn away, which costs the company money. Kneeling drivers would…

If I your job is being in public (or on TV) you can bet your ass that there are standards for your conduct when you’re “at work.” If Kaepernick wants to kneel for the national anthem at home, in the locker room, or even at a public event (that he’s not in) his employer should have nothing to say about it. But if you…

I’m not paid to not be a racist, but I’d still expect to get fired if I said some blatantly racist things and you wouldn’t bat an eye. A manager has every right to fire you if you give the company an image that they don’t want.
