In most states, a dealership has to maintain a surety bond in order to get their license. I’ve never seen it be less than $25,000. It’s meant to pay out in the event that they do something that violates state dealer regulations. Assuming they did, perhaps she can find out who held their surety bond (it should be on…

The lack of pressurization means the pressure *inside* the ear is much higher than outside. The pressure imbalance is going the other way. 

It’s incredible to me that a guy with basically infinite money who could be doing almost literally -anything- chooses to spend a good chunk of his time being a pick-me edgelord on Twitter.

This wouldn’t even be the first time.  I mean how many years have they been ranting on and on about George Soros when they’ve got a whole stable of politically active billionaires themselves?  Hypocrisy is pretty much the whole Republican brand at this point.  Vance even added a few more than this one.   Like the time…

Need the Right to help me. So Musk and Trump being disgustingly rich and amassing gold like Smaug is okay and a good reason to listen to them but Taylor Swift is an out of touch billionaire... Amassing billions of dollars is ridiculous, a trillion dollars in the hands of one person is asinine.

That was the most useless video I’ve seen in years. Not only do they make you click on the video thinking it will show the actual event, but they also replay the random highway video every 10 seconds. There is nothing on the highway clip, they filmed it from their news van. Gonna report the stupid fox video for…

The literal one time in history that a Ram driver did anything good for anyone else on the roads.

Agreed, he’s definitely up there with ProPublica.  He gets maybe one or two more points for swearing so often.

John Oliver’s philippics are the same for me....

The real comedy here is that I bet Musk had no idea you could do this. He moved heaven and earth to make a grade of SS steel that was cheap enough for production but also wouldn’t corrode too quickly. Turns out they could have just wrapped standard automotive steel for a fraction of the engineering/material cost, and…

I see 3-4 of these rolling chrome dumpsters every day, and after a brief period right after launch where they were untouched, 75% of them are now wrapped...typically in black.

It doesn’t look exactly the same - the actual stainless steel finish looks like shit. The finish is inconsistent between panels, and they often develop a green or brown sort of scummy patina on them. There’s a Cybertruck in my city that I see every so often and the stainless steel finish in person looks godawful. It…

ProPublica has some of the best journalism humanity has ever seen, but it’s hard to visit the site because the stories absolutely enrage me.  I usually binge read stories and then don’t visit the site again until my blood pressure has recovered weeks later.

That’s an insult to dip shits.

$4200 to wrap a vehicle that’s all flat panels. There are ZERO complex curves or body lines to follow. This is the automotive equivalent of wrapping a boxed birthday present.

$4,200 on making it look exactly the same.

It’s expensive to be poor. That’s a feature of this country, not a bug. Bootstraps! 

Sure, it looks predatory, but that’s only because they’re taking advantage of the desperate and vulnerable!

Tesla is a competent car company that was purchased by a ketamine addicted .com billionaire who then turned it into his personal toy.

Well if Vance wants to get rid of legal immigrants too, I hope he starts with Moreno, who is an immigrant currently trying to steal and American job in the senate after stealing untold amounts of money from his car dealership employees.
