“Ultimately, this nonsense all boils down to the twin fears of having to negotiate AND being afraid of someone else getting a better deal. You can get the identical experience at any dealership. Just pay their asking price without question. Same thing you will do when buying direct.”

Is there someone arguing for banning dealerships, or is that a straw man?  I hope some states get rid of the dealership laws and let everyone compete.  If they really do add so much value, they’ll have no trouble surviving.  If they’re just middlemen leeching money from both sides with little benefit to anyone,…

Sex work is real work. No different than any other side gig.

It’s called a blip; a picture with a couple sentences and no title. We do one every single morning and have for years. Welcome to Jalopnik.

Like those, it’s marred by a huge amount of misinformation and literally everything connected to the current object of the Two Minute Hate has to be attacked and taken in the worst possible…

Hard disagree. This country is woefully uninformed about science, and that leads to the anti-vaccination movement and climate change denials, among many other problems. NDT is obviously being pedantic with this, but it draws attention to being informed and accurate about representation of physics principles.

Counterpoint: NDT has taught me many things, and Jack Crosbie has not enriched my life in literally any conceivable way.

For what it’s worth, I find the Hurricanes to be delightfully entertaining, but despise, with all the wrath of Surtur, Wade Avenue, the thoroughfare upon which their arena is located.

You should let FIFA know so they can update their rule book. Sorry...so they can update the “Laws of the Game.” Don’t want to come across as a stupid American who doesn’t know proper terminology.
