My whole team is telecommuting, I am the only sucker that goes into an office, only because I have to meet face to face with other managers. In fact I have a strict dress code of white button up, tie and slacks. The rest of my team wears whatever all day and stays comfortable. I like it this way, all the VP’s,…

Banning a more efficient mode of transportation is a brilliant idea. Increased congestion in our urban centers is just what the doctor ordered. Idiot.

I have wondered that as well. When a few websites I visit advertise for a writing position, there’s almost always a “need to locate to ____” phrase. Why? There’s no copy that needs to be rushed to the printers.

I suppose it depends on where you live, but around here, the majority of cyclists follow the rules. The problem is that not everyone on a bike is what I would consider a cyclist. Some of them are just dumbasses on bikes.

That’s like me posting one of the hundreds of videos of Mustangs crashing into people and saying all cars should be banned.

Honest Question. In New York City are all these people going to “office” jobs? Due to the internet is it still realistic both financially and physically to have people show up to an office? Just overhead with rent for space for all these people seem to be a wasted resource, wouldn’t telecommuting be better? I…

No sandwiches as far as I’m aware, but Obama did make health insurance affordable and obtainable for people like me who suffer from chronic conditions and don’t work for major corporations. Your false equivalency sucks.

Scrapping a nuclear deal that was keeping Iran from ya know, developing nuclear arms like it was designed to do is kinda the opposite of Obama.

Because you know that angry white voters are going to blame Trump for being an idiot instead of liberal globalists for making us vulnerable to foreign influences in the first place.

This is a horrible take and you should legitimately be ashamed for thinking this way. It functionally means that you cede all linguistic territory to the worst people and let them dictate your words. Was Joshua Topolsky really talking about media policing Jews when he said “powerful people”? No and it is easy to…

BMW. I would rather have an E30, E28 or an E24 over their modern offerings. Does that make them better? I don’t know— I’d honestly argue that the E30 is a better car than later gen 3-series, but the 5&6 series modern equivalents are quantifiably better in every way other than looks and potentially driver engagement.

Thank you for saying this.

This is terrible for this man and other people like him, but the problem isn’t with Uber, it’s that a medallion is $700k. This artificial economy has always been problematic. There are also issues with ride sharing, but the answer lies somewhere in the middle, not protecting this outdated system.

Not faux concern, real concern. The kind where I don’t type “LOL” when thinking about the habitability of life on Earth due to short-sighted, long-ranging impacts from human activity.

You have to admit that Norway’s responsible management of it’s oil wealth makes it pretty much a unicorn among oil rich countries. Most oil rich countries have something far away from the phrase “responsible management.”

Huh, I thought BRT was a Colombian invention, TIL!

Yes, subways are way faster, but also way more expensive and less flexible.

In growing cities, like the ones in Latin America, I’d settle for BRT lines until there’s enough density to justify an underground metro system.

In many cases many unversed areas (As you say in…

Then what is the solution? Fuel can’t be subsided anymore because the government was selfish and wasteful. We need to move on and look at other places, better infrastructure, better conditions for truckers so that the blow isn’t suffered by them but by the companies, and more accountability in government.

I have…

Just wanted to add that fuck you Juscelino Kubitscheck (1956-1961) and every president that followed him when he decided that the best way of transportation in the fifth largest country in the world isn’t trains but trucks. We had a reasonable but growing railway system in the 40’s/50’s that went into complete…

R$4 seems pretty reasonable and about 50% in tax sounds like a pretty low number honestly, a lot of countries have much higher duties and given the scale of the road network that seems a reasonable number.

Dear Brazilians complaining about higher gas prices.


“Get the fuck over it”

Sincerly,

A Mexican that already went through a gas de-regulation and price liberalization that was required to save the state oil company since previous administrations abused it so much it didn’t have any infrastructure and ended up costing…
