Sort of. There are decent ports at Sea-Tac and two in SF Bay. But then you still have the issue with moving the products out. I don’t believe the intermodal facilities are as good at these other ports.

Shipping companies are. Toy companies were throwing an extra $20k on a container to move it up a month.

The problem is, mixed in with all the cheap retail goods are critical industrial parts, automotive parts, and other goods required to keep our country running.

That’s part of the appeal. Carvana and Carmax have return policies of a week, I believe. That gives you time to get the PPI and return the car if it fails.

Wisconsin is a lovely state full of great breweries and lousy drivers.

Yeah, Wisconsin truck drivers need instructions on how zipper merges work. They tend to push you off the road if you try to do them properly.

Meh, I’m bistatual, living also in Madison. Wisconsin drivers are as bad as Wisconsin Old Fashioneds.

Mexico should be a shorter trip, too

I don’t see any incentive for the private sector to fix the problem. Just like the auto market, a shortage just means they get to charge more

You could, you know, look it up. It was credited to Greg Wyatt, who works for the Ohio Department of Public Safety as a visual communications manager.

There’s no lane discipline. About 90% of the left lane campers I see in Illinois are Cheesheads.

It wasn’t designed by them, as far as I can tell. It was a design picked by them.

I miss Wisconsin’s old plates. They were an easy-to-see warning that the car in front of you was being driven by an idiot.

I’m rather proud that I didn’t know that.  :)

Very tacky, but I thought it was the Pan-African flag. The bee threw me.

No big deal. For another $100mm in crowdsourcing, they can fix this.

The big difference is that, with Tesla, the price you agree to is the price you wind up paying. There’s no, “oops, we’re going to charge you more now.”

Or like Tesla and direct sales of cars where everyone pays sticker and not like traditional sales where 90% of cars are sold at a discount?

OK, so the top says Jan 1, 2020-Dec 31, 2020, so there’s no mistake, this is a full year’s pay, so 39,472 would represent the final paid amount based off of a 52-week average. The worker also claims that he’s worked there for 10 years, so it’s safe to assume it’s not a partial year.
