I don’t miss the days of changing a light bulb every few months.

1: Build cars

I’d call this more like a less annoying version of leaving the sticker on your flat brimmed hat than the plastic on the couch. 

Not a trucker shortage. It’s a pay shortage. 70 hours per week, non-synchronized transmission, drum brakes, and they’re paid by the mile.

Stop paying long haul truckers by the mile, first of all. They go through training that repeatedly tells them to drive to conditions, but then they get a job that requires they hit a certain mileage each day to keep a consistent paycheck. This is a system which encourages dangerous, aberrant behavior in a 72,000 lb

1st Gear: The trade war has been real since June when Crooked Trump started it with the stupid steel and aluminum tariffs. What’s going on now is Crooked Trump is just ratcheting up the tension so he can “solve” the crisis that he created.

You could literally improve every industry with this solution.

Neutral: How Would You Improve the Trucking Industry?

I support the wrapping decision. You have greater flexibility of colour choice, and it protects the factory paint of the vehicle underneath, should you want to sell the vehicle.

How have you been mislead to believe that this poll has ever been about what we can or cannot afford ourselves? It’s about what the car is worth in our subjective valuations. Sure, sometimes it’s a realistic purchase for folks, but you don’t judge these based on how much money is in your bank account. And why the hell

The company’s decision to stop making all cars except the Mustang, and switch to a lineup almost entirely made up of SUVs and pickup trucks which will definitely not blow up in its face as soon as gas prices spike

You have a point to an extent – but it’s the broad and haphazard application of these measures that is the problem. There’s plenty of reason to be pissed at China – but there are also reasons we want to trade with them. It takes nuance to address those issues without throwing blanket tariffs. Also if Chinese steel is

Neutral: I totally agree with a 50-state solution. The automakers already build to california standards. I would be ok with that being the 50-state solution. Maybe trump will even give himself a gold star declare how great his solution is. I live in MA which, IIRC, follows california’s emissions standards.

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.

For journalists covering national news... Sure, I guess.

I’m just going to say it and start the war we all know is coming. I paid for a seat that reclines. Deal with it.

The chart could simply mean that we’ve gotten much better and likely more proactive about fighting forest fires since 1930.

Rolls-Royce and Bentley are owned by separate German companies.

Vape shop down the street from my office has not 1, not 2 but THREE employees that drive WRX’s.
