What you’re saying is “if you don’t support democrats or unions, don’t be a teacher”. Fuck that. Unions dominate entire sectors and are a monopoly on labor. This is bad not only for employers but workers.

It’s no coincidence that the sectors in the worst shape - auto, manufacturing, public sector, education, etc - are union dominated. Unions are an anachronism and tend to drag down the industries they control.

Any respectable Russian Oligarch wouldn’t be caught dead anywhere but New York. Gawker will go where Mr. Vekselberg says.

I have to disagree. My dad had one of these, and as a kid I have fond memories of the 3 year old car stalling at stop signs, watching the road roll underneath the rusted out floorboard, the side view mirror dangling by the cable through the rusted out door, the water sloshing around inside the brakelights, and the…

This is a photoshop / meme bonanza, that’s what it’s for. I hope there’s more witty and creative people than I.

I’m not sure locking people up forever is the right thing either. What does society do with somebody who can’t be rehabilitated, or can’t / shouldn’t be admitted back into society? I think it’s time to take a fresh look at criminal punishment and rehab - organ donation (a kidney or lung could save lives), ship them…

You are just overthinking things. How many times are people called asshole, dick, prick, pussy, shithead, etc? Cunt is maybe worse than cocksucker, but nowhere near as bad as n-bomb. When I see it used, it’s normally because somebody is taking offense at a willful, aggressive female. You hear women all day long saying…

Wait a minute - isn’t calling a woman a bitch misogynist? Let alone passing judgement on somebody you’ve never met, interacted with, nor otherwise know anything about except the claim of some random person on the internet? You should really get help before you hurt somebody or yourself. Seriously.

Meh. My wife calls other women “cunt” all the time. And dudes sometimes too. So what. Cunt is not hate speech like the n-bomb or fa-bomb.

Seeing the road drive by through the floorboard, the rusted side view mirrors hanging by the control cable, the water sloshing in the taillights, the stalling at stop signs...ah fond childhood memories of my parent’s Lebaron.

I’ve been looking for a late 70's LeBaron/Diplomat. I get more excited seeing that on the road than the Ford GT that’s in my neighborhood. They are virtually impossible to find, most returned to the earth as pure iron oxide around 1985.

*all cities.

Taxis are so old and terrible they have gone beyond anachronism to hipster.

Sucks for Austin though, particularly if you live there. I’m sure it won’t make a dent, but I was considering Austin for our company event this year, and if they don’t get this resolved it’s off the list. Not having Uber/Lyft is sort of a dealbreaker. Practically everybody who travels for business now uses Uber / Lyft…

Good idea! I’ll jump on my velocipede, pang wangle over to a payphone, insert my wooden nickel, and hail a taxi cab like the good old days.

Everybody knows Hitler drives 959's in Antarctica.

What do you call that effect when owning a cool car makes other people assholes? I used to drive 986 Boxster S and people would give me the finger for no reason. I mean, it’s a nice car, but it’s not like you have to be Rockefeller to drive one.

Is it me or does that thing look like a Ford Flex?

Funny, I thought you were talking about Drew’s article. “Fuckface this, fuckface that, shit fuck asshole turd boob”. I got through the first few sentences, and determined that Drew must have been a flunkie from YouTube Academy for Internet Commenting.

Time to walk in front of a bus, or develop a 5 pack a day smoking habit. Me sitting in heaven will be the most likely scenario where I could afford one.
