Just another example of the failings of expecting enforcement to do a job that proper regulations and infrastructure would’ve done better in the first place.

Tomorrows car guys and gals will be into electrics, where GM is far ahead of the Japanese competition. Car guys are always looking backwards. Tomorrows car guy doesn't really care what yesterday's car guy was into.
The future of ride-sharing is as a municipal public transit platform.
1st: Of note: Uber and Lyft were running into these labor issues PRE pandemic. Now not only have they burned through their labor pool, a bunch of other businesses appear to have done the same. Why be the meat in an asshole sandwich when you can get paid more to run packages around?
maybe. but what he they said is 100% correct, and you’re doing the ad hominem dipshit routine, so.
GM has 11 assembly plants in the US. 2 in Mexico.
Eh. By the time 2030 or 2040 rolls around I’d bet there will be. Yeah, it’s fun for some people to hate on electric in much the way Trump hated on LIM catapults instead of steam for aircraft carriers, but being a curmudgeonly luddite is only fun until all your neighbors are in quiet electric vehicles and you’re the…
Well... I think Tesla made it pretty clear how they would rank “make money” and “protect environment” when they decided to buy $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin...
“I have finally just given up with humanity and wish for the quick arrival of humanity’s final destination.”
A person complaining about Jalopnik posting a Tesla article -
Something like that, yes.
We’re living in the richest country ever. It cannot be that hard to figure out how to pay for it. The alternative is much more expensive and destructive.
You’ll get used to high-powered charging stations just like people at the turn of the century got used to horseless carriages powered by flammable liquid under the seat.
One again for the folks in back: Electric to commute in, Z28's and Challegers for the tracks and weekends. Hell this might make better drivers out of those hoons...C&C’s may be safe again...
Oh fuck off, Erik.
It’s too bad all the Elon fellatio enthusiasts coming up with theories about drunk drivers and people being thrown into passenger seats couldn’t read the source article, where a family member confirms that only two people were in the car when it “went out for a spin” and that the owner’s body was the one in the back…
As someone who lives on high ground, I don’t want to be paying for dams. Let the people who chose to live downstream from them pay to maintain them. /s
Canadian taxes are quite a bit higher than they are in the U.S. I make more than you, but my effective federal tax rate is around 20-25% depending on the year (my state doesn’t have an income tax). I totally get calls to increase taxes on people like me. I can afford to pay more. Nobody is calling me a tax cheat and a…
It worked great in the 50s, and nobody ran out of money. European countries have enough tax revenue to offer free college and health care to everyone, and they haven’t run out of money either. This “running out of other people’s money” is a canard started by Reagan to justify the rich maintaining their wealth. Nothing…
Because, if you’re wealthy enough it doesn’t matter and isn’t worth your time.
Neutral: Yeah, that tracks. If the pandemic has underscored anything, it’s that there’s a huge divide between people who give a shit about the consequences of their actions towards others, and people who can’t be bothered to notice anything that doesn’t directly affect them, and wail like a fucking child whenever they…
