It doesn’t have to follow the cars for a full lap, but I’m pretty sure it’d keep up at most of the smaller tracks. How great would this be during a NASCAR race at Bristol, for example? Or IndyCar/IMSA at Long Beach this weekend. 

Than go do your own research on what's happening right now. There's no shortage of information available from sources you might consider more palatable... all of which will lay out the same scenario.... 

“and without it, he’s now threatening to close the border entirely.”

Anti-drone warfare. US troops send up a surveillance drone, this thing shoots them down. 

I guess if I just blogged from home I wouldn’t care much about fuel costs either...

and why he thinks gas prices should be steadily raised to $7 a gallon like in Europe, both inherently reasonable policy positions for someone to have, even someone who enjoys driving.

I recently took Amtrak for the first time returning home from central IL to east TX. It’s an 11-12 hour drive, a 4-6 hour flight with a connection (or a considerably larger ask for a friend on the other end to come pick me up in DFW), and a ~17-hour train ride. The train actually takes me right to the small town I…

The train doesn’t get stuck in painful traffic of I-95. Seats are (much) more comfortable than the bus (especially if you’re tall). You can get up and walk around the train. The bathroom is of decent size on the train relative to the bus. The train ride is less herky-jerky, so you could work without getting sick.

I am also a frequent NYC-DC train rider and I LOVE IT.

I don’t think he had trouble reading. He just had trouble understanding you not making any sense. 

What is it with this trend of the authors here being snarky, condescending, arrogant pricks when responding to the readers?

maybe do some math before you decide to be a fucking retard? conservative estimates place the GND at eight times the size of our “endless forever wars that cost literally trillions and trillions”, you disingenuous bad-faith hack.

Hey, we read it. You're just an awful fucking writer.

Sigh...AOC needs to ask for a refund on her Boston College Economics degree. There is so much wrong in the direction of her quote she is going to get hit by oncoming traffic.

If we all hold hands and just believe, we can make it happen through the collective power of virtue and self-righteousness.

She is irrelevant. She is a very junior member of a very large house positing a plan that no senior member of Congress is going to follow. She can list plans that say anything and no one is going to listen.

Care to provide any more detail on these “oil company subsidies” which, if existent, are supposedly in a comparable scale to the $21 trillion this plan requires?

Occassional Cortex is irrelevant. What she believes or plans has no bearing outside the four walls of her office where reality exists. Inside are where the unicorns and fairy dust and 21 trillion pentagon dollars are just taking up space waiting to be spent.

The success of this mission, and many other Western (I’m including Israel in that term) raids has been the unpreparedness of the arab militaries.  There are a host of reasons, but the primary reason is the use of connections based promotions which not only put incompetent people in charge, but also demoralize those…

Regular folks have them too: they’re called kit cars.  These Broncos are so expensive because they’re already assembled.
