The last recession was bad. Really bad. I had just purchased my business and we lost about 30% of sales. We didn’t fold, but we came very very close. I worked on half my pay for about 4 years.

That’s a truly fascinating question. Really. Do some very unlucky secret service agents have to serve the rest of their careers in a Fed minimum security prison?

An independent network of charging stations, free to charge any car that shows up, located in sensible places according to demand, and charging market prices....Why does that sound familiar to me?

In the 1970 book “The Population Bomb” Paul Ehrlich wrote that “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.”.

Nothing about the massive reforestation going on in North America and Europe? 

“The report notes that land has warmed twice as fast as the average temperature over land from 2006 to 2015 was 1.53 degrees Celsius (2.8 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the pre-industrial average.”

This is kind of cool and amusing. But it’s a self selective data set. IE, people with expensive fast cars aren’t shopping for insurance on some third party website. These are all cars that younger guys tend to drive. 

Effing Boomers.

Sort of...it really depends on the sport. The very best swimmers, hockey players, LAX bros, etc-are just the very best that were born in circumstances that allowed them to play.

That’s cool and all-but what are the actual numbers there? The M2 comp is a sub model of the M2-which is already a low volume model. I suspect we’re dealing with very small numbers. Nonetheless-it’s great that people are buying them. And an M2 with a manual sure as hell looks like a joy to drive. 

Hot take-there are actually very very few racers.

Then it’d be me watching over the editors shoulders. Nobody wants that.

You’ve really done good work here. Carry on.

That would be perfect if they were remaining at the Staples center. 

Anyone who has ever been a, or spent significant time around, a bodybuilder isn’t even a little bit surprised at this.

You obviously have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. 

I mean, generally, I’d agree with you-but these Taco Bell names are amazing. Like, I wish we could we rename our dogs.

When and where do you sign this “social contract”? I know I didn’t.

Amazon wouldn’t even exist. And we would all be worse off for it. 

Matt: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
