This.  Until I see him in a prison outfit with a mug shot with his number on it I am not holding my breath.  

This is as succinct a criticism of the American health insurance racket as I’ve read just about anywhere. It would be a scathing opening statement to a congressional hearing. As you pointed out, not that it would do much good.

The whole system is irredeemably corrupt.

The more I think about it, the less I’m enamored with the argument that automakers should sell cheap cars. Dealers do sell cheap cars: they’re used. Cars today are well built and designed to last over 150,000 miles (could argue over 200k) In the 70's or 80's this was not the case, where 100,000 miles was closer to the…

If the Malibu was as good as a Carola - GM might have had Toyota’s profits today. People avoided corvettes later in life because of how shitty the Malibu was. It’s a double edged sword. The entry cars can’t be GM or Ford garbagemobiles. Toyota builds a good car for $25k. And that translates to a lifetime of consumer…

Though now that the defendant has turned 18, he’s suddenly lost interest

Yea, that doesn’t happen anymore. You buy a cheap used appliance when you need transportation, then move up to a new appliance when you can afford it. Hopefully my next appliance will drive me to work, but now that I’m working from home and my appliance is just sitting there, why get a new one?

The current state of SiTC...

It really is too bad Kenneth Walker didn’t have quicker reflexes and better aim.  

Darwin had a term for this sort of thing...What was it again?

A friend of mine made what I think is a really astute statement. Basically, the gist was that Trump’s followers are in charge now. No politician, not even Trump himself, can sway them as much as their own lumpen collective mentality. Trump is basically Dr. Frankenstein at this point, rather than the leader of a…

“I got mine.”

She still got banned from the park for getting shitfaced at Epcot

Asking the real questions, if you’re doing unnecessary international travel while pregnant during a pandemic I'm already judging the hell out of you, and I'm usually in the "leave pregnant women alone and let them have their caffeine and zoloft" camp.

Why would you partner with anyone who wants to spend 30,000 on a wedding? Unless you can afford your own substantial down payment on a home and can afford to throw a huge party, that makes no sense. No one gives a shit about your wedding except you. Just buy your own damn Kitchen Aid mixer.

Let me guess, you’re a dealer? We just want to buy cars from the manufacturers where they’d compete on price against each other in the segment. RAV4 or CR-V would be like Samsung and Apple coming out with their new CUV with price competitiveness.

While I generally find the “all gentrification is evil” narrative pretty limited, to me this is just called: Do Your Research. Figure out what happens in a neighborhood, decide whether or not you’d be happy to live there, and then sign your lease accordingly. Don’t show up and mess with the lives of the people who…

The real expense of youth sports isn’t the equipment.  It’s paying for coaches and trainers, space rental, travel to tournaments, etc.  And with cheer, there’s a lot of training and practice involved.

Social media can be a nightmare for any number of reasons, but I don’t think that the abusers of yesteryear are prepared to withstand the counterattack that is direct testimonials on Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram, etc. Places like this that can get away with casual cruelty for decades are imploding and I’m super into it.

Hammer, meet nail head! I begrudgingly count myself among them. I knew full well what a dirtbag Cuomo was but could not help but feel grateful for his early COVID updates. We needed someone to step up since the Duty-abdicator-in-chief was not only nowhere but actively anti-sciencing the whole thing. Still I watched…
