Except that its pretty specifically the fault of people like the owners of dealerships that the government is underfunded and runs poorly as a result.

Seems like a great use for the line of credit that that these cash flow critical businesses almost certainly have.

I would have more sympathy if dealership owners weren’t so conservative and politically active.

That’s flat-out wrong because you definitely can text while shifting gears; it’s just harder to text in a stick sift car than in a car with an automatic transmission.

‘There is no doubt these vehicles were to be used in carrying out serious violent acts for crimes syndicates.

So, do we think that the cash was to buy more gear?

As a side note “ventilated” is my favorite euphemism for that act. I know an old guy who says “let the air out of them” that is also in the rotation for me.

We only enforce the Sherman act every 30 years or so. Don’t be ridiculous.

It feels like replacing a single piece underbody in a car would be like trying to replace all the wood framing in a house,... You’re basically going to take the whole thing apart to do it.

Quality out of Mexico is lightyears ahead of quality out of the USA.

They also haven’t gotten CoL increases for over a decade when they were supposed to be temporary. In the 14 years that the “temporary” cost of living elimination has been in effect, inflation has been over 40%. A 20% immediate raise is more than reasonable. They made a sacrifice to save these companies and its time…

Fuck Jim Cramer.

I think its pretty funny that you started with referring to the current system as communist and talked about transitioning to a state run system.

That Motor Trend article is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve read in a long time... For example:

The sad thing is that I’ve legitimately read someone suggest that,...

I thought Trump was a secret plot by the Demon-Rats to make Republicans look faschy...
