There is a lot to unpack here...

Do you.... realize that all automakers and states were in agreement with obama’s standards? Trump is the one who single handedly created this issue.

“GM, Fiat-Chrysler, and Toyota”

I  don't think you are following the argument well.

Neutral: He will complain about it on Twitter, maybe sign an EO that affectively does nothing, then brag about doing something. Then something something jobs, employment, us manufacturing, liberals destroying america, etc.

GMs argument seems to be that UAW leaders were bribed with offshore accounts simply because these offshore accounts exist, but they do add that 30 years ago Fiat apparently used offshore accounts to bribe politicians. I mean, is that it? Is that all the evidence? And if there was a paid mole, is there a paper trail?…

Here are a few pics taken from my garden (the ship is roughly 10km away), the first one taken shortly after it ran aground:

5th Gear: I bought my car completely online. Not strictly because of COVID, but because it was at a dealership 570 miles away from me. I did a FaceTime tour of the vehicle and hired an inspector to check it out for me. The only downside was having to pay for shipping, but with the pandemic I decided that saving a few…

I think the go-karts and mini-golf should all be done in the same place, overlapping, melee style.

Neutral: I would turn our tiny airport into a ginormous indoor/outdoor go kart, mini-putt golf course. 

Owners of dieselgate TDIs already got paid and it was thousands of dollars not $8.50. US TDI owners had 3 options:

I used to work in an area where they applied what’s known as an ‘economic benefit’ monetary penalty. I firmly believe it’s the only time of ‘fine’ that’s provides any sort of incentive to obey the rules.

A guy who stole bread in a shop to feed his family will face greater consequences than these six-seven figure earning directors and CEO’s. It’s BS.

The sooner CEOs and board members start going to prison the sooner this behavior will change.

I’m getting so tired of these monetary fines. If we want behavior to change, there has to be real consequences for the people involved.

My story. My daughter had Freshman orientation scheduled at an out of state school. I had a business trip that was Tuesday through Thursday, her orientation was on Saturday and Sunday. So, I get plane tickets for her and me ($800 since it involved DC during the Cherry Blossom festival). Work pays me $400 for my ticket.

100% agree. When I read this quote in the article, I was like, seriously?

And really, its 10k. Spending 10 grand on a family vacation that you maybe saved up for years and used some of your airline miles and rewards points on is a fairly mundane thing.

As I have stated before, Erik is the worst writer on this site. That sentence is another example of his immaturity and bias. 

But there is a difference in a heavy sympathy for those evicted and actively enjoying a person’s problems simply because it can be worse. It’s okay to be indifferent on vacation grandpa, but it just makes him look like an asshole for being so outwardly happy about strangers having problems.
