I mean, if somebody bet you a six-pack that you couldn’t create four categories of random criticism of his post and instantiate them with legitimate English words, then cheers on both winning the bet and having friends who offer up free alcohol for surprisingly soft stakes *clink*, but I’m not seeing where you get…
Jay is known for being tricky. I mean, he signs his name “Publius.”
Just wanna point out that the opinion is written by Jay Bybee, who wrote the torture memos during the Bush administration.
Stop. The Nationals will almost certainly finish above .500 for the 4th year in a row. They won the most games in the majors three years ago, and the most in the NL last season. They also may have the best player in the league on their team. This season has been a disaster, and Sunday was absolutely bonkers, just the…
Wasn’t the narrative a few years ago that he plays too hard (i.e. crashing into fences and sliding head first into bases) and that would shorten his career?
Beyond the fact that he promotes an anti-government handout message and laissez faire economics, yet financed his failing business on the backs of tax payers then made statements that the government failed him and his employees by not giving them more money? He is, to be frank, a huge hypocrite.
He hired family as management; promised to tell employees if they were running out of money and didn’t; didn’t pay them for the last month but paid his wife’s uncle $12k to shut the company down; created and nurtured a dysfunctional management culture; left employees he had move to Rhode Island holding the bag on…
I’m not sure you understand the implications that 10-40 times higher than accepted NOx emissions means or what Nitrogen Oxides do to humans indirectly.
I know you’ve been piled on a lot already, but yes, pollution kills people. Tens of thousands a year. Roughly 40-50,000 premature deaths each year in the US can be traced to air pollution from cars. Volkswagen has a 3% market share in the US and roughly 1/3 of their cars sold here are diesel. So that’s roughly 400-500…
Alright, let’s do some math. 500,000 cars on the road each polluting several times what they are allowed to, for consistency sake let’s say 20 times. That’s as if there were 10,000,000 cars instead of 500,000. Take the difference, 9,500,000 extra “cars” worth of pollution on the road. Our friend Wikipedia tells me…
Lying about emissions that have ill effects on people’s health in order to sell your product is actually killing people. So don’t worry, our priorities are in order.
Co-sine.
The ill-conceived remembrance is by now as much a 9/11 anniversary tradition as the insensitively branded 9/11…
True. If you’ve got the resources and job that can allow you to be insufferably twee, then good for you. We all go through phases. They’ll have had enough of it in a few years, and then will hold a really interesting rummage sale when they go on to their next obsession. Or have kids.
Yesterday, Vox published a first-person essay detailing the anachronistic existence of two insufferably twee…
Sadly, speaking as a former HR guy, it’s more like:
And this was the best comment you could come up with?
Andy:
It worked out well because his replacement Ross Detwiler was the only pitcher who played well in their lone series against the Cardinals.
