I think what happened here is the would-be buyer of the dealership wanted to pay all-cash and rejected Kia’s loan offers that were a contingency of the sale price. Either that, or he wanted the building’s glass etching fee removed and it’s causing chaos.

Youre probably from here and know this already but for everyone’s edification, Tacoma or Tahoma is the original word for Mt Rainier and there is a strong push to rename the mountain as such. I’ll also say Tacoma is a pretty nice place these days.

I think I’ve read a similar thing from modern airline pilots: They’re not flying the plane so much as they’re monitoring the control systems of the software that’s actually flying the plane (beyond takeoff and landing). They also talk about complacency. There have been accident reports (notably, that recent business…
