Now that would be smart, but smart customer-poaching would take more than an MBA fresh out of college to pull off on a regular basis.

It’s rather interesting that the other poster would say that the last name of Lee would make someone assume a Chinese lineage.  I suppose I’d better break the news to Christopher Lee, Spike Lee, Robert E Lee and Tim Berners-Lee?

Great, now will corporate landlords try this model? “Thanks for the month’s rent.”

It’s a common short-sighted move, as it removes much of the future from said corporation.

While true, in Tesla’s case, the cost cutting is ensuring that further R&D is gone, no matter whether it would have worked or not.

Just a warning, one of the folks here “defending” belief and trying to be edgy in championing his Southern Republican version of Christianity has already shown his ability to post pages upon pages of scat-porn over on Jezebel. 

Do the models manufactured for China pass U.S. crash tests?  Would they if they don’t currently undergo them?

Will the airlines work as a group to raise rates?   Acting as a trust, one might say? 

Probably have a lot less wear with that many wheels, if all of them are powered.

It’s almost as though the “saving babies” argument was always in bad faith, and now that more mothers and babies are dying because of conservo-GOP-insane policy, the discussion is focusing on eliminating birth control options as well.

He tried to pay the ticket. It was issued unfairly, as he wasn’t leaving the vehicle parked like that, but he tried to pay it. The town representative decided to shake him down even more.

That and it’s probably humid too.  If they were in Texas or Florida, you could expect the death rate from heat illness to go up, as the state government told greedy businesses that they no longer had to give water breaks to outdoor workers.

I was surprised to see “Austin” and “Colorado River” in the same headline as well.  I hadn’t realized that Austin had moved near the Navajo Reservation or to the Arizona/California border.

The scale at which the cloud seeding operates isn’t enough to cause nearly a foot of rain in a day, though. It’d be like blaming someone leaving their garden hose going for causing a massive flash flood down stream.

So, as an aside, if the rainfall was predicted, why were those planes engaged in the seeding?  Was the rainfall predicted to miss certain areas and these were hoped to extend that rainfall to those areas?

You still get your dagnabbit star!

If I was an Iowa Democrat candidate or at least some kind of non-right-wing 3rd party, I’d be putting that little action up there with the abortion-denial horror stories as part of my campaigning against any GOP opponent.

So how does build quality get pushed so hard underwater? There’s an ocean of expertise out there for getting build quality fairly high, even if the “investor” class heads keep pushing for quality cuts via engineering gutting.

Gay-Zilla is just fabulous!  But I thought it was just the freakin’ frogs that were gay?  I’ll have to go check with Alex Jones again, as soon as I feel that I need more right-wing insanity grifting.
