I’m actually impressed that the right wing’s Official Propaganda Machine told the truth about how tariffs are paid.  I would have expected the whole lot of them to spew more bullshit about how China is paying those tariffs and we’re magically rolling in dough.

What they’re doing in WA sounds like a state-level version of Medicare Advantage—which is probably the “compromise” that we’ll wind up with next at the national level. It sounds deceptively positive “Medicare!” “Advantage!”, and compared to straight up private insurance it is marginally better. However, when compared…

I can do your wife one better:  before I even graduated, I went to my university’s career placement office and they informed me that unless I had majored in finance or business related majors that they couldn’t help me.  Nevermind that my major was in a technical field--they didn’t have shit unless you were planning…

The fact of the matter is that a lot of people, the majority of people, face either having no vehicle and no means to get to their employment and are unable to purchase a vehicle outright.

...and yet, witness the fact that after your lease is done, you still have absolutely nothing to show for it.

Because when it comes to gigantic data mining operations disguised as retail companies, absolutely nothing means what you think it means.

Source please.  Not being facetious.  Seriously interested.

I keep waiting for quite possibly the dumbest fucking car fad to finally go away after 30 years...but certain people are truly committed to destroying perfectly usable cars.

Just take a hammer to it.  That’s the best tool ever made for anything that’s broken.

That’s the NY Senate, not the US Senate.

My money is on the Republicans simply pulling a “nothing to see here, show’s over” farce of a hearing.

For anyone who gets contacted about a debt that they know isn’t theirs, your number one weapon of choice is to demand a Proof of Debt Verification letter:

I do love it when people like you display your open ignorance for all to see. Maybe, instead of spewing your uninformed BS, you should actually attempt to learn something first. Particularly in regard to your racism argument. Was there racist anti-Japanese sentiment and propaganda? Yes there was. Were the Japanese FAR…

First thing I thought of--happy to see it’s at the top.

Talk to Charles Koch.   Believe it or not, CJ reform is a thing for him.

I mean, he’s probably right, but--as with Betamax--having a better technology doesn’t always guarantee consumer adoption.

And since Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries are just too heavy for long range EVs, their strategy was to let the industry mature Li-ion technology before diving in.

Nobody wins because nobody picked the one topping that beats all others by an astronomical margin: diced roasted green chiles.
