So for example since Trump likes to talk about it so much lets talk Ford. You charge a large tariff on their compact cars to punish them for building them in mexico. There car that was $15,000 now costs $20,000. The only reason anyone was buying it was the price now no one buys it.

Its not magic, its called hard work and sacrifice. Also, working at McDonald’s, getting married, and squeezing out kids is a poor life choice.

Agree. As a small business owner I am not be able to hire someone for the work I need done. It is easier and less costly for me to do the work.

The minimum wage should be abolished out-right. The percentage of the workforce that actually earns the minimum wage is minuscule. These are jobs for teenagers, part time extra cash and something-to-do on the weekends or while the kids are at school. Entry level, no/low skill jobs aren’t about the money in most cases.…

The thing is, raising minimal wage across-the-board will create inflation, which will cancel out the raise in terms of living standard.

Time for some pretend math.

Is it really because of build quality, or have vehicles reached prices where the above-average earner cannot afford to upgrade every 5-6 years like they did in the past? Maybe it’s just the market in which I reside, but a lot fewer people are going out and buying new trucks / tahoes / etc anymore because they can’t…

Unfortunately this is true, it will look like an alien and be as boring to drive as anything else. It will be big enough for the US market where bigger is better, and be underpowered.

So you’re going to drive like a jerk and possibly endanger people, to teach the robots a lesson in how poorly people drive?

Renault Avantime.
“To facilitate access to the rear seats, two long doors featured a double parallel-opening hinge system (marketed as “double-kinematic”) that maximized access with minimal outswing of the doors.”

You shut your whorish mouth!

I’ve been around for quite some time, and can remember when the vitriol was contained to sister sites. I remember when Jalopnik was politics free.

The extreme political editorializing on this site is getting old quickly. This may be news to you, but 47% of the country sees things differently than you. Marginalizing half your readerbase is not a good business model.

Awesome. So like Sylvester Stallone as an aging driver pulled out of retirement in Driven.

What could go wrong?

Trump has promised to unlock $50 billion a year by killing 2013’s federal budget sequestration, but the rest of the increase would have to come through taxed economic growth or other federal programs—or both. In the latter case, he’ll have to sell two arguments—why defense spending needs to be increased, and why it…

But it takes a lot of work to make the earth flat since it’s naturally round
