So he does or doesn’t want kids to have to be in car seats? I’m confused. Also, I hardly think that a car seat is even in the top 10 cost items people really think about when it comes to having kids.

Does he put an ottoman in a car seat for long road trips?

Just going to throw this out there - but Rush was clearly dismissive of government regulation and government warnings. The typical, libertarian, businessman who felt that needless bureaucracy cramped his style.

“I wonder where we can find a morally corrupt politician who is willing to take a bribe?”

Overconfidence is likely a big part of it, but also keenness to prove that he was right and everyone else was wrong. And, of course, there’d be no better way to demonstrate to investors that he really did know what he was doing than to get in the thing himself. Sometimes making the huckster get into their contraption…

The fact that he took himself out is the only thing I find surprising. Usually these people are at least a little self-aware and avoid putting themselves in any real danger.  He clearly also bought the bullshit he was peddling - because he made a number of dives in that death trap.

With so many people telling you it’s a deathtrap, you kinda have to delude yourself into thinking you know something they don’t before you can really start convincing strangers that you’re right. Especially if you’re going to be getting on board the thing.

Crushing one’s self into fine paste is the ultimate way to avoid responsibility!

Also unsurprising that he was among the victims of his corner-cutting, truth-bending, and denialism. Unfortunately, he took other innocent people with him.

I mean - the dude clearly lived his life avoiding responsibility, and finding the easiest and cheapest way around any problem he faced. Shouldn’t be surprising that he’d naturally go to bribing an official if he didn’t get his way.

Bribing... AKA Lobbying

Half of me wants to trade it for a Corolla — not a GR, just a Corolla

So your worst day in 54 years was that you got sick? I don’t know whether to applaud or scold you. Count yourself lucky you haven’t had any actual hardships.

You can’t drive there, mate.

“Became lost while using his GPS"? I read that as "tried to cut across illegally after missing his exit"

Still don’t know why aiding and abetting or treason isn’t on the table for whoever or maybe whatever is responsible for the exporting.

Make sure Elon is riding in the bed of one of these pieces of shit.  

Are these the same “super amazing Chechen special forces” that were completely leveled with the ground within 48 hours of invading Ukraine? The ones that promised to take Kiev and instead got completely annihilated? 

At least there are no car washes to deal with
