I came out of J school in 95, right after the passage of the Telecommunications Act and the first big push start of dot com as a thing. You could see right away that journalism was fucked because a) the people who cared enough about journalism to do it right thought the internet was a joke and b) those of us who were

The New York Daily News was not killed by a fucking market correction. Sinclair Media is not a fucking market correction. Peter fucking Thiel is not a fucking market correction. Fuck off with this “well, that’s just how it is” bullshit. This is a goddamn siege, and takes like this are how we’re losing it.

I work for a US auto parts supplier. Recently we had a company wide meeting and the question came up “Why aren’t we seeing raises due to Trump’s tax cuts?” It actually got brought up twice. The answer was that the company wasn’t going to make any major financial decisions because of the uncertainty of tariffs. We

The strongest case for protecting the U.S. industry came from the United Auto Workers. Offshoring to low-wage countries including Mexico and China has hollowed out production in the U.S., and more autoworkers risk losing their jobs as the industry shifts to electric vehicles, said the union’s research director,

The EU has 10% tarriff on US Cars while the US has 2.5% on cars and 25% on trucks/vans (chicken tax), equating to an overall average tarriff of 16%. I am sure Germany would like nothing better than to zero out all tarriff. No one in Europe buys any US cars not named Mustang or Jeep and that will continue tarriff or no

The question in everyone’s mind is: will it monitor differences of 1.5 PSI between tires?

Presently, women make the majority of car-buying decisions, about 85 percent, according to a 2015 report by CDK Global, a market research company.

I hope it's not an acronym.
