Every time I hear them referred to as a luxury brand it pisses me off. They aren’t luxurious, just expensive.

Tesla.  You will never convince me that those cars are luxury.  Panel gaps I can see through, horrible interiors, “leather” that is just nasty, seats that suck, etc etc etc.

Look at how much better it looks on pepperpots and blackwall tires, and then go and consider your wrongness.

i got an idea, they could call it the umm the mustang.

I mean, if “provides gender affirming care to trans children in consultation with a doctor” is sufficient evidence of abuse to take people’s children from them and throw them in jail, Cruz probably deserves the death penalty for this.

Of course this all depends on how responsive they are. Some are utter trash, but generally, it’s a valid constituent responsibility of their office, and most try to do well in this area as it’s a clear way to make voters happy.

As an optimist, I have to point out that it could have been worse. It could’ve been a slideshow.

Well, yeah. If everyone has one it doesn’t work to keep Those People from voting.

Ooh, this!

If the consequences of this are bad enough, there is definitely a non-zero chance that the feds hire “emergency” crews and lease the big 4's equipment to run critical services. From there, there is another non-zero chance we fall ass-backwards into nationalization via some sort of big RR collapse, essentially a repeat…

Why not nationalization? Capitalism clearly isn’t going to regulate itself by this point. Lets start going communist.

bigger, more expensive SUV’s, inflated home prices, hiring freezes/layoffs, and a looming recession.... im trying to think if we’ve ever dealt with this before.

“Ok, just overpriced” applies to most of Panera’s menu.

“rotting in the county jail.”

MAGA is a terrorist movement and at least should be labelled as such

Republicans: “We must protect our 2nd Amendment rights even though the US has daily mass shootings!”

Stay in town. Go to someone else’s house for holiday celebrations.

Don’t.
