Last week - I think it was last week - it was Ballaban saying exactly the same thing but actually included the “Means of Production”.

Jalopnik has never been viewpoint neutral, which is fine.

Everyone at Gizmodo Media is now a union pundit. You just have to get used to it. Maybe someday they’ll go on strike and we’ll have to put up with replacement writers from Oppo for a while. Meanwhile, they’ll keep complaining that their office is too cold, do nothing about it, and continue to tell us how awesome…

Thank you. This isn’t the first time that Comrade Shilling has lobbed out the “labor deserves everything it creates” line.

1st Gear:

The Highlander is basically a minivan that’s made less functional and more ‘tarted up’ so it doesn’t look like a minivan. I genuinely don’t get why those things sell at all. Either you hate minivans, in which case just get a 4Runner or Rav4 because the first is what you want and the second is what you can afford…

Likewise, the EPA likes to lie and cover their tracks. They’ve already been caught over-estimating emissions to justify stricter emissions standards, they are a power/money grab just like most govt agencies at this point.

Prone to exaggeration a little? You fall into the same Jalop trap everyone else does around here. Jalop says SUV and then propagates the imagery of a Ford Excursion when in reality it’s Honda CRV’s and the like which are the high demand vehicles. These aren’t 5000 lb SUV’s.

Seems like everyone is at it - Beto:

This is what Jalopnik is supposed to be.

Your lack of appreciation for capitalism signals that you’ve only worked in a capitalist system and never had to experience what it’s like to live in a socialist/communist society.

The problem with Harleys is the same problem with Corvettes.....

You spend all your life from your childhood wanting one until you can finally (barely) afford one only to realize that everyone else has one and you are once again indistinguishable from the masses.

So you spend $20k modding it only to realize that you…

“My daughter has a legitimate service dog, with papers and everything. She lays under the front of the seat when she flies”

If by “tolerate” you mean “succumb to the inevitable because Delta is the only way to get out of this city that isn’t Spirit”, then yeah, I guess I tolerate Delta.

You do, but you need an entirely different talent pool. I’m not knocking long-term GM engineers, but someone who cut their teeth out of university during the GM malaise-era is probably not the ideal fit to pivot the company to a highly tech-centric future.

Are you talking about Manbearpig? Because Ale Gore warned us of that too.

Just so we’re clear, you’re talking about the Population Bomb writer Paul Ehrlich and not the Paul Ehrlich who developed the first effective treatment for Syphilis.

I like how everyone immediately points to cars as the way to avert climate change and the immediate catastrophe that is apparently coming. Never mind container ships, heavy mining equipment, power generation via natural gas plants...........
