Politicians - take note. We need a massive investment into a retooling of our education and economy. One that actually looks forward.

Being an adult is overrated. 

If they would have back-to-back races in neighbouring countries I doubt that viewership would be great.

“Improving driver skills”, you clearly are not from the US.

Took a family trip to New York this past spring, rented a Suburban that had all of the nannies. When it was my turn to drive, I turned them all on with full sensitivity (lane keep assist, some follow distance thing that beeped if you were tailgating, adaptive cruise control, auto wipers, auto headlights, auto swearing…

I didn’t know I needed to read the word “jabroni” today, but I did. And it happened twice.
