Man, go visit Stockholm some day. It’s amazing. Clean, well-organized, well-maintained. But the thing that’ll really give a shock to your system is when you realize what’s missing. You won’t notice it immediately, but when you do, you’ll be wishing we had the same system back here.

I have family there, and have spent a considerable amount of time there. Their system is far, far better for virtually everyone. The only people it is less good for are... the very rich, i.e. the people who don’t need anything from anyone. The people paying that price are the people who can afford to. Wages are good…

In a way it’s kinda satisfying to see boomers being forced to live in the world they made- they’re the generation that worshiped cars and saw cars as freedom, and they legislated a world where that is reality. Boomers cut spending on public transit, cut spending on infrastructure, cut spending on schools (which leads…

I’m in San Diego.  For every 1 bike I see splitting lanes with that 5-10mph differential, I see 10 that are on their way to donating organs.

Mandatory Inspections.

If this was real and I qualified, it would be a no brainer to take it. 90% of my driving is boring crap and a boring crap car can do it as well as a Ferarri.

Good lord, I can’t imagine having to drive a crew cab Ram in Boston. I get annoyed enough as it is parking my GX, and that’s fairly small in footprint relative to pickups and other SUVs.

FTA:  A Nissan dealer in Colorado is offering fifteen brand new lease deals on Leaf S 

An entry-level co-worker fresh out of college insists on driving his dream car - a brand new Ram 4-door pick up truck. In the Boston metro to his desk job. It has nary a scratch.

The Leaf is a great car for many, many people. Probably most.

This has to do with the article itself and the words contained within it. What are you referring to?

Agreed 100% with your take on people arguing in bad faith that EVs are too expensive and regular people can’t afford them. There have been viable EVs priced below the average car for quite a while now, but that doesn’t matter anyways because working-class “normal” Americans are the most financially illiterate people…

Couldn’t she just use a tour bus like everyone else? (Obviously, except when she needs to move between continents.) Like, take a chartered flight to the country in question. Get in stupid nice tour bus, and then travel to all shows you can via land travel. Once done, drive back to airport and fly to next hub, where…

And therefore, it is not the wisest thing to burn tons (literally, metric ones) of the stuff just to move a few persons at a time, and better to keep its use for something really necessary.

Uh--huh, but not really. I guarantee that it would not be, nor would her height really be that much of an issue.

She’s a skinny white girl, throw on some mom jeans, flannel shirt, skip the make up, and wear a packers hat, and she’s not going to stand out to nobody.

I mean, other celebs manage to fly commercial and not turn it into a shitshow.

there are necessities of the touring business model, then there is private gluttony of flying off to a dinner date. all of which is heavily subsidized by middle and low income taxes - and environment - who rarely have a chance to visit the tarmac.

got it, so in your brain raving reviews are paid for so negative ones must not be, shit take.
