One of the issues I see is that this dude is spending all this money to install electronics in a PT CRUISER.

I used to have subwoofers in my Civic in college. I’m a little ashamed to think back to those times. I would likely beat the shit out of young me if I woke my now kids up (which I’m sure I did to others).

Seconded. Harleys are for phony-tough CPAs going through a mid-life crisis.

Ok. But-

This is the appropriate time for collective punishment lke this.

Color me surprised...a racist act in a town known for 2 things: hosting the largest motorcycle gang convention annually and stealing Native land to build a memorial to US Presidents. Shocking!

A crime?

As a normal, non-wealthy person, it’s always been difficult to understand how mega-rich people keep going after more and more money. Once I had a million bucks in the bank, you’d never see me again.

I like what the Germans do: if a company has X number of employees, then Y% of its board of directors must have labour representation.

No violent revolution is necessary. All that is needed is to organize ourselves to use our already excellent (in theory, if not yet in practice) Constitution to elect representatives that aren’t beholden to corporate interests.

Don’t forget the followup to the tax cuts - oh wow, now the deficit has exploded, we have no choice now but to cut health care, unemployment benefits, or anything else that benefits mainstream America.

They’re also arranged left-to-right in order of “Most pairs of glasses on their person”

The participants were arranged left-to-right according to the quantity of facial hair and right-to-left according to smileage.

And in an accident, I don’t want to be hit by a suburban. But it will happen, because the suburban driver will be drinking coffee, talking on the phone, and turned around to the backseat to yell at Johnny simultaneously.

“Why don’t we have small cars like this in America? If this little sedan was available in the same price range as the Versa or Corolla or Fiesta sedan, I think it could do great.”
