Why didn’t they just get a bunch of people to stand in front of the mustang? That sucker would have moved forward for site and at speed...

The thing about slippery slopes is by the time you figure out you’re on one, you’re already whoosing downhill...

you know no one is making you come to this site right? Isn’t there some kind of Alt-right car site you can hang out in? One that talks about cars powered only by god, country, and guns and are only made in america and where sheer american go-getitness can make every problem go away...

Your standard of living may not crater with a 20% increase in costs but plenty of other people’s would. Which ironically enough are the same people you’re trying to help.

That would totally work except your standard of living would crater. Look around your house. How much of that stuff do you think was made here? (Hell if your house is less than 30 years old and you live in the south or west it was probably built by Mexicans.) Imagine if all that stuff was 10% or 20% more expensive…

Yes the % of people with college degrees is the highest ever but that still leaves 70% without. The reality is high paying stable jobs in the future will require college or some form of higher level vacational ed.

<sarcasm> yeah exactly because Americans only know how to build physical things. We can’t create higher paying jobs that don’t require manufacturing. After all since the iPhones have been made in China none of the people that work for Apple designing or marketing those phones have been able to buy anything at all.

Can they race toy mustangs? imagine the carnage. That crowd wouldn’t be laughing near as hard if they were.

People also have the tech to prevent crashes like that... It’s called common sense. Unfortunately if we start relying on companies to replace that for us it’s going to be complicated.

They tried to legalize that behavior in Austin with that law they tried to buy. Thankfully the Austin populace told them to take a hike. I’ve seen what uber drivers stopping in traffic lanes have done to the traffic flow in NY amd SF amd don’t want that in Austin

yep. Because everything is always peachy keen when everyone has a traditional family and religion... like it was during the Spanish Inquisition, or the 100 years wars.

and the Broncos won the a ring with the reanimated corpse of Peyton Manning at QB. It could happen.

Well lets see... one of them was an unstable narscisistic asshole with the emotional and intellectual range of a distracted 5 year old and the other wasn’t.

yes this country suffers from inequality of wealth and opportunity but the part that might have just killed democracy in this country is the inequality in intelligence.

I didn’t misread it. You said this about the scale on the carry on version (the italics are original)

I’m exec platinum on two airlines and I’ve never heard of carry on weight limits. Since I’ve never seen a scale in use near a boarding gate (outside of the 7 minute flight between Papeete and Moorea on what’s effectively a motorized kite) airlines have no way of enforcing this. You can stuff your bag full of lead and…

yep cause somebody made them sign up for this job and they didn’t know it was dangerous. Should crab fisherman get to let people get away with things because they have even more dangerous jobs that police officers? or tower climbers? or firemen? or soldiers?

Maybe we can have a Baylor and Penn State play and pray for a meteor strike.

I want to buy this thing and rip the tank off and replace it with a rolling party box that can go anywhere you want. Plus you can make fun of everyone rolling around in their old people Rvs

Steroids... it’s a hell of a drug
