No, there aren’t shipyard that ‘can’ build a cruise ship. The shipyards that built the US Navy in WW2 are now extinct.

Damn that’s too bad. Business Insider has even lower standards than Jalopnik...

To be fair, the coronavirus cruises were the nice ones. At least shit wasn’t pouring out of the toilets.

LOL - That’s very true. The last place you want to go if you aren’t sick is to a place with a ton of people who are sick. It’s eye opening that many of the people visiting genuinely don’t understand that. But it’s true. They’re often kinda shocked when they ask how to stay safe and the answer is “first - don’t come…

the 75/99 cap is silly because someone making over those numbers in an expensive city may qualify for affordable housing while someone making well under those numbers in a more affordable area could own numerous properties.

Your first question is ridiculous. Where does any money come from that the govt spends? Because guess what, it isn’t taxpayers. Otherwise we’d actually have limited spending. But that never happens, and always gets worse under republican leadership.

I would’ve preferred the Democrat’s plan. Keep in mind that both plans were VERY similar. The differences are:

Republicans want to help corporations because they hire the people who work and pay taxes to the government.

What bill are you talking about?

So donate it, that’s what my wife and I will do. Because of it being based on 2018 tax returns, we will likely get money even though we definitely don’t qualify today. Anything I get is likely going to St. Jude.

I see you’ve pivoted from your “let’s just let the virus run it’s course and kill millions and overwhelm our healthcare system” bullshit, and have moved on to “The Dems are trying to steal an election!”

I would be hesitant to install unless I knew I was staying for at least 10-15 years. You will increase your property value, so you’ll get most of it back, however it seems like a lot of work to just walk away from.

US Politics simplified:

I’ve found that audio is one place where it’s usually much better to spend (or rather bleed) just once and go for something nice right away. Trying the budget route always ends up in a cycle of upgrades because the next thing up is just a bit better and costs just a bit more, but after a few cycles of this you’d still…

also, fuck Madagascar.

Commenting on a car enthusiast site where 99% (++) of on-road vehicles are based on Dino juice and attacking a writer for writing about, you know, the goddamned truth, is a little obtuse, no?

In principle I agree with you (and the above poster). But if huge companies know the government will cover them if they make a losing bet, why wouldn’t they make high-risk/high-reward bets all the time? These bailouts incentivize high-risk behavior.

For companies that want bailouts, I think there should be a set of criteria to qualify.

1. If you spent your giant tax break money on stock buybacks - go fuck yourself.
2. If your CEO got a giant bonus from tax break money - go fuck yourself
3. If your employees are woefully underpaid, worked to death, and have no…

I prefer to call them fat hatches.

No, it would be a crossover. Duh.
