The difference with Cancún and other locations on Rivera Maya is that the conflict isn’t over controlling territory for moving drugs into the US.  It is over who gets to sell drugs to the dipshit tourists.

Guess what poses a greater financial burden on those cities? Poor, uneducated US citizens who also never directly* generate the property taxes need to fund the education of their offspring, but can take advantage of even more public services. Not only is the burden per household greater, there is even more of them.

No, it’s the US government’s fault by insisting that drug addiction problems of people in the US has to be “fixed” by law enforcement/military means to limit the supply instead of addressing the demand.  They have been fighting it for decades as well and it’s not really that much of a surprise that the Calderon…

Mexican government needs to stop using law enforcement means and just start fighting a civil war. Forget extraditing these people. Just kill them where they are.

Based on the NY Times description of it, he did get the “ever-loving shit” beat out of him by an ex-Army officer who was there with his wife and kids.

IIRC, there was a bit of scandal at the USAF Academy where cadets were being pushed into fundamentalist christian groups.

The good guy was an ex Army officer with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was there with his family and some friends.

Does gmail then filter all of the incoming mail into their own folder?

maybe not the car, but Amazon sells fridges, stoves, dishwashers, etc.

The time off is the primary reason I give a shit about holidays.  If there are retailers that use it as an excuse to sell stuff at a discount, that’s a bonus.

You may not like him, I don’t like him, but he was on firm ground firing those folks. It’s pretty thin to say that the employees were fighting “for better working conditions” which is where the protection lies, because they led off with criticism of Musk, specifically, and then asked for more inclusive policies.

The California battery system allows 10% of the grid capacity to be replaced for as long as 5 minutes.

None of these technologies are used at the insanely massive scale of power grids, yet.

Except the one guy in question wasn’t really “thowing shit”, calling Musk a buttplug, or anything else like that.  He was just correcting him and outlined the real reasons the android app was slow.  Others were fired for doing the same thing.  If one is bitching and whining about a product and want it fixed, don’t…

Any half ton pickup.

You know what they don’t have? Grid Level battery storage.

so you’re saying that flying SUX and will just get worse?

Yeah, being able to walk in from the parking lot and hardly stopping for anything until you get to the rest room near the departure gate can be nice.  The ticket prices and the airlines delaying or canceling flights at a drop of a hat often makes the 2-3 extra hours driving worth it though.

The holidays are a time for deals and if it’s on something that I’m interested in, I don’t see the issue if I can afford it. If I want presents that I like, I have to buy them myself.

The news that the shooter was a MAGA clown with a history of violence is one reason why Fox News this morning was still obsessed with the college kids killed in Idaho.
