If you could advocate a less effective medical care system than the one we currently have in the USA 1909 may be a good place to start. Your Randian fantasy fails to take in to account a century of developments on medical, societal and political fronts.

I’ll make you a deal! I’ll pay you a one time $1000, you pay me $50...

Despite stumbling out the gate on a non sequitur straw man your comment is well reasoned and supported. Therefore, you rather incisively demonstrate the simple logic intrinsic to all such black/white arguments. I didn’t see any call for pure unbridled socialism in Ryan’s original article. He simply highlighted a…

Thank you for explaining it.

Infowars much?

MAGA!

Considering that the USA generally ranks around 30th worldwide in healthcare outcomes, how the hell is a dead wealthy American “richer” than a healthy over-taxed Swede?

Carefully choose the time and place and give it a go!

I bought one of these for my first wife when we divorced so I could keep my 510. That was a great sports car!

Spot on Rev. I helped restore an old Stearman biplane and the effect of the VOCs from the dope exemplified the adjective dopey.

In the ‘70s I was familiar with the term “gearhead” when I had an aha! moment when intoduced to a machine tool called a gearhead in a college machine shop

If the EPA octopus still dwells atop the engine after all these decades there is some sweet low hanging fruit in the performance department to be savored by anyone with the basic mechanical skill needed to pluck it.

In it’s currently decrepit state I would be impressed if it had all that. The knowledge tools and skill necessary to double or triple that number are common and modest. Acquisition of such basic Jalop life skills alone would justify embarking on the project.

Nah, that’s the old hippie chick you brought home last night.

I take it, you’ve never personally opened up the four barrel on a big block?

My first car was a ‘61 Falcon with a “three on the tree” and “Armstrong Steering™”. I would love to get my hands on V8 Sprint. Mine was a lowly 125 straight six.

You were there? I’m much younger, the ‘48 Merc I was conceived in had power steering. Yet, even in the Sixties the old motorheads I looked up to prized Healeys and XKEs, putting up with soft British bearings and “Lord of Darkness”Lucas electrics just to enjoy manual steering and transmissions .

Somehow “ moved on”sounds more like capitulated. I know the advanced technologies available now make rowing your own inevitably slower than a fully automated transmission. This trends unfortunately, towards less driving than riding. In a very near time, the steering wheel will follow the stick and clutch into robotic…

Omg! The punned-its are back again!

Bear in mind, if the lane adjacent is open one is no longer filtering. They are simply riding in a bad lane position. The important point is that filtering is to be done cautiously, no more than 10 mph over the overtaken traffic. When you encounter a vacant lane occupy it.
