This is like the joke about the kid who kills his parents then asks the judge for leniency because he’s a orphan.  Priceless.

There’s no remaining upside to standing by Trump. The party hates him and will be changing a lot of locks once he’s out. He and Rudy can have their doomed strategy meetings if they want. Everyone else knows it’s just going through the motions and are distancing themselves.

I agree with all that.  I would consider it a regional substitute for flying or driving between large to medium cities.  I can be in Denver in two hours on a plane; no way I’m taking a train for that trip.  Comparisons to western Europe never make much logical sense.

Or weatherman, but point taken.

I think he’s about to see a whole lot of that.

Unless they read this site, I’d venture completely unnoticed.

Fletch?

Nice try.  That’s more than 600 characters.

There are pockets where it could work. I live in Houston and there’s been talk in Texas forever about connecting Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio with high speed rail. I would ride that in a heartbeat, especially to Dallas. It’s a four hour drive, but close enough I feel silly flying (doesn’t stop me, but…

His outlook is straight-up childish. Tesla is investing in infrastructure because it has no choice - it ONLY makes EVs and people aren’t going to buy them if they have range concerns. The idea that we can call be driving EVs tomorrow if the automakers just 100% switch their platforms doesn’t make the first bit of…

...which is what I hope Wade and Union said when they first heard of this.

In fairness, the staff is how COVID gets into a prison to begin with.

Yeah, fuck being the safest big city in the country and a place people want to visit. 

Yeah, I think it’s time for him to throttle back.  I know he’s jacked from being in the middle of a workout but enough is enough.  Thor’s strong because he’s a god, not because he rolls tires sideways.

STFU, Chris. 

Better listen to him folks, he’s a plague doctor.

It’s kind of bizarre to claim our healthcare system is fucked because every CVS and Wallgreen’s doesn’t have freezers capable of reaching -80C, when that’s never before been a need and we’re just now learning of it. It seems you could send the Pfizer vaccine to major cities that have such infrastructure (I expect most…

And of course anti-vaxx sentiment is highest among those with full access to healthcare and the financial resources to skate through the pandemic’s financial impact.

Can both people lose Thunderdome? 

I think this owner and I would get along. Yosemite tells you he doesn’t want you getting too close, but isn’t going to be a total dick about it.
