Nailed it. And this all plays into the untold story of the past century and a half. In the late 1800's we had the Gilded Age - an era that primarily benefitted the wealthy and is again becoming alarmingly similar to ours. Wealthy oligarchs consolidated their fortunes through monopolies and manipulated the markets and…

“ they have internalized the fact that white people inherently deserve everything more than any other group”

For whatever reason, the US press was really really good at hiding how truly bad Covid was here. Some nurse friends, one traveling, had horror stories the entire time. Many many hospitals had to fight to get refrigerated trucks to store the bodies before funeral homes could pick them up.
I personally know of a friend…

I mean, I’m shocked the article doesn’t say this, but

I just want an EV wagon. VW could bring back the Alltrack or maybe give us the Golf R Wagon here in NA and make it an EV when they start making the ID.GTI in 2026. I know we’ll never see the ID.7 Tourer here. With that being said used Taycan CT are getting really close to my price range.

We are entering an age (god I hope it’s only 4 years but who knows) of (royal) court politics- whoever has the shiniest keys to jingle in front of the Dauphin will get the most attention, and being able to blame our horribly mismanaged problems on something distracting will become paramount. 

As I’ve said elsewhere, one of the biggest DEI gains was for the elderly- age discrimination in workplaces is a lot harder thanks to DEI, because including (inclusive) elderly (diverse) workers and making accommodations for them (equity) makes our workplaces better and makes us more stable as a society.

Sorry but there’s no way the federal government is spending 120 BILLION on DEI initiatives.

Aaaaaaand therein lies the truth. These “cuts” all look good on paper, until each Rep realizes that HIS constituency is about to get f#cked, at which point the cuts are unsupportable. Shit like “agriculture support” and stuff will NEVER be cut, because there are no more loyal GOP voters than farmers.

The people that tell you that DEI is discrimination against white people are the same who will tell you that affirmative action is discrimination against white people and is reverse racism against whites. Disgruntled white people are angry that they have to compete for jobs against people who don’t look like them on…

I am not a fancy expert on how the government works, but some random, made-up department can’t unilaterally make budgetary changes, correct?  Doesn’t the House still control the purse strings, as the old saying goes?  Which isn’t to say the House wouldn’t go along with this, given its current makeup, but still. 

One I wished that had happened Koenigsegg and Saab. a free-valve 9-5 would have been cool.

Lucid and Rivian (as long as they remain separate brands).

The Carfax shows miles in the 40k range a few years ago. Someone messed up a cluster replacement or something. This car has 50k miles, not 500k.

VW ought to bring the GTI nameplate to their EVs.

Got it in one. No notes.

President Musk will never allow an anti-Tesla policy to take hold.  His orange suckboy has no idea what’s going on.  Fuck Musk.  Fuck tRump.

This is... a really bad take? Not everyone who is going off-roading or overlanding is wanting to be fully “off-grid.” There are plenty of reasons why one might need or want connectivity beyond being reachable by our corporate overlords. I’m sympathetic to the concern, and do believe we should get the hell away from…

Tesla isn’t a car company.

ROFLMAO at the thought that that hypocritical weasel Ken Paxton gives a shit about Texans’ privacy. If Allstate used that data to snitch on customers who drive too close to an abortion clinic, he’d be celebrating and offering them immunity.
