Not smart...

I’d argue that you’re spot on. However, a certain other group of thinkers in this country see the allotment of public funds to improve pedestrian/cycling infrastructure as pure commie bullshit. “Screw those poors, if you aren’t driving a car, you don’t matter. And my red-blooded American ass shouldn’t have to worry…

Why aren’t there sidewalks on this road?

It’s not weight, it’s shape. A person hit by a sedan, especially a smaller one, is likely to go up and over the car, a much more survivable impact. Someone hit by a big, tall, flat-fronted suv is gonna get pushed down and under.

No one is “running into traffic without looking” as you say. Walking, maybe, but when you say it like you did, that’s a good example of how we’ve allowed drivers to no longer be responsible for hitting people in the road just because they aren’t normally there.

You seem to have missed my point. I understand supply and demand, and what effect that has on prices. These prices don’t reflect that. The incentives do. The incentives are there to bring the price down to what consumers are willing to pay. The existence of the incentives proves that the MSRP is out of line with the…

The only tool in a truck now-a-days is the driver.

Incentives of that size are just proof of how arbitrarily inflated the MSRPs are. They ask a lot to “give” you some back, so they still make bank, and you feel like you got a good deal. The charade is that they never don’t have incentives. They might be slightly higher now, but it’s not a significant bump from what…

Nah, we’ve been trying that trickle-down theory for the last 38 years, and it isn’t working.

Not only they won’t hire people, but they will go as far as buying stupidly expensive things if it only help them pay less tax. Golden rule is to not let it trickle down in any possible way.

Yeah, but the guy in the story is b****ing about spending only $2k to get his 911 “running right”. If his budget is that tight, it is objectively stupid of him to buy the car (sight unseen?) in the first place.

Sorry Bradley, cars have been cancelled due to lack of interest.

Wall Street and employer-sponsored healthcare. Two things that make sure the workers stay tied to mediocrity and the parasite class claims all the gains. I’m really afraid it will take something more disruptive than Silicon Valley to shake it up and shed the current thinking. 

But Sears just needs to stay the course! What if one day the internet goes out? Then, they’ll be ready!

Are they losing money because they have to discount their lobster so much because it’s shit compared to the lobster being sold at a profit in the restaurant across the street? Or is it just that they aren’t meeting the EBIT targets that Wall St. wants?

Literally the only reason I went to a ford dealer and bought a car was the ST line. Without those, I would have just bought a GTI and not bothered with Ford.

Two words - Scott Pruitt

I started this the other night. The thing that made me IMMEDIATELY turn it off was the constant uttering of the built not bought and the arguments that went along with it. Not because I have an opinion on that specifically (I have a nice built car and a nice bought car rn) but because I’m so GD sick of car shows that…

Anybody who has a problem with this should be IP blocked for eternity.
