The effort to recoup costs was always a last ditch hail Mary.

Because they are rich guys. Duh. They have at least $23M to spend on attorneys.

B/c different groups are financing these very different projects.
Are you bored? Did you already finish your coloring book?

But another factor, which Doud detailed in a 2021 audit, was undoubtedly what she called “excessive markups” and management fees for Urban Commons that caused costs for some of the ship repairs to balloon.

And they’re always willing to share. Perhaps one of them politely offered her some Vengelerstarssebar.

Ah, so the company should do just fine without Germanophobia Gemma over here.

3 words: dump that bitch. Imagine marrying her?

It will not come as much of a surprise to learn that Pinnix has been fired from her job at Capital Rx where she was a talent acquisition specialist, whatever that means.

Well, I for one am sorry I missed the QOTD that prompted this. There’s no way a list of greatest American car shouldn’t include the ‘62-’67 Continental.

If I had money, I’d tell you what I’d do. I’d drive down to Dwight Phillips Auto Sales and buy this Grand Marquis. (https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/691424338)

Included with the GM B-bodies.

I owned three Escorts along the way but am confused as to why you have a picture of an Escort that never made it to America.

I was waiting for Jalopnik to how on this neg train and not even post the fact that Rivian sold AND produced a record number of vehicles. YTD its about 39k vehicles which is only 13k away from their yearly target of 52k vehicles. The WSJ has always had it out for Rivian for some weird ass reason. 

“No, no. Dig UP, Stupid!”

Tim Scott’s campaign raised $5.8 million last quarter; he has plenty of paid staffers. And plenty of campaign staffs are unionized. The UAW’s complaint here isn’t tenuous at all; it’s very direct and very clearly correct. It’s no more tenuous a link than if I saw somebody slashing the tires on a car and called the…

It’s because it’s a blanket statement (not just relevant to UAW workers) and sends a message to his own employees that they can be fired (i.e., retaliated against) if they attempt to exert their federally-protected rights. 

The article outlined it very plainly. He does have people working for him, who do have a legal right to unionize. How likely is it that campaign workers want to unionize? Not much, but they still have the right, and this language violates that right.

Planned obsolescence?

Same thing happened to me maybe 20 years ago.  Pulled over, license checked, then told they were looking for a suspect in a matching car.  I was driving a white E36 M3/4/5.  I mentioned how rare the M3/4/5 was to the cop, was asked to roll up my window and received a fix-it ticket for front window tint :).

GM has a rich history of getting something right, and only doing it for a year or two. See the 1988 Fiero, when you finally stop listening to the bean counters.
