Example/Reason #1,568,483 why I can’t take religion seriously.

Reducing spot welds doesn’t necessarily increase energy absorption. It changes load paths, and would typically decrease absorption in most cases. Material properties and section properties are what you vary to absorb energy for crash. 

Yes it should, or have amazingly good analytical evidence that proves they don’t need to re-test. I work in body structure engineering. That snippet alarmed me.

Your leaders could’ve saved you the pain and reached the goal much earlier and cheaper if they hadn’t been as arrogant as they are.

Oh it infuriates me. I’m resigned to the fact that our government is so corrupt or serving of the rich/lobbying interests that it just won’t be there by the time I retire, and that there’s currently no political path to changing that. I vote. I’m involved locally, but there’s not much I can do otherwise to stop that…

You win!

Yes, the correct headline should be: These Tariffs Bad and These Tariffs Still Bad

Yeah, I’m honestly not even looking at SS when it comes to my retirement. I expect it to be gone. F ‘em.

Bwahahaha. No sympathy.
