LOL,
Not at all. Gotta work smarter as well as harder. I have read that article before and proves what I have said, you can influence the outcome. I have often been called “lucky” and “in the right place at the right time.” Well, there is a reason I was there. I chose it.

With an attitude like that, no wonder you think things are shit. The first story is not mine, it came from Ryan Felton, who despises the subprime lending market. Read the comments and people point out the guy was not a victim of circumstances and shares responsibility for the outcome.

Make all the excuses you want. Shit happens but people are more in control of their destinies than they believe. It’s always easier to make it someone else’s fault when the problem is staring at them in the mirror. Even in the example given in this article: https://jalopnik.com/how-subprime-car-loans-are-ruining-lives-…

Unless the lenders stop lending and borrows suddenly wise up, get a 800+ credit score, or realize fake it till you make it doesn’t work, things will roll right along.

Atheists beware. My wife suddenly became very religious when she got a cordless Magic Wand. She is now constantly calling out to God.

Construction sites in Japan are cleaner than some hospitals I have been in here in the United States. The crews are constantly sweeping up any dust, grime, or other stray refuse. On top of that, larger projects have a person apologizing to passerbys for the noise (usually minimal), poor aesthetics (not a factor as the…

Airlines price flights based on what the market will bear and not by distance. PHL was/is a USAirways (now American Airlines) fortress hub. Flying nonstop costs more because the airline knows they can fill the plane with people willing to pay for a nonstop flight. Passengers that connect may be coming from more…

That is not even an extreme example. Years ago USAirways has 20+ roundtrips per day between LGA and PHL. Officially is was a shuttle service but it was really to squat on slots at LaGuardia Airport.

San Francisco and the Bay Area is not much better. The first few days of the month have many people choosing to move themselves rather than hire professionals. The traffic report can be downright funny with the right news reader. They would call out the monthly Ikea highway sale letting folks know where to pick all…

Glider trucks are sold by specialized manufacturers with Fitzgerald Glider Kits being the biggest lobbiest. Navistar is actually one of the biggest opponents. 

Incorrect. These are new build trucks with no powertrain.

I’ll let it slide since Mack is a summer intern. What he posted is much more interesting than the usual “Outrage of the Day™” articles. Thanks.

Cause of crash: Driver ran out of talent.

Seems some people at GMG seemed to have taken to bashing Elon Musk at every opportunity. Given down of the downright mean spirited things that have been said, he would probably only buy certain GMG properties to shut them down. Well, he might wait a few months just so he can assign the bloggers to tasks such as…

I remember when The Onion predicted how everything in the future will be videoed and photographed.

This assumes an equal distribution of population growth. Population growth is fastest in undeveloped/underdeveloped regions.  Developed nations with resources have the lowest birth rates.  Even within these countries, those in the best economic positions to have kids typically have fewer offspring.

In one of the 50 previous articles on the matter, I made a post that highlights one of the ridiculous aspects of large RV ownership. To drive an equivalent class B vehicle, a person needs to go through all sorts of licensing, physicals, and training to understand how to operate one on the road. No such requirement…
