Great. Now I have a craving for a BLT. 

you may have noticed some of our sister sites have been given a similar treatment over the last few months

What’s incredible is this study was able to figure out that not only did Sturgis go on this year in spite of COVID, it looks as if it specifically attracted the least safety-conscious people possible.

Wow! I was about to post I have an issue specifically with apple products on comcast wifi. I’m going to have to try this. Thanks!

So the strategy is basically to rely on gumming up traffic flow so thoroughly that you can’t speed. Honestly, it may be the most effective management the city has done thus far.

A quick search reveals, unsurprisingly, Italy also has large highway interchanges. This begs the question of what was the point of the study, unless they are suggesting Houston needs to put houses in the greenspace of the intersection, like Italy sometimes does.

So your argument is the decades of working with the mob, money laundering, racketeering, bribery and etc didn’t influence people’s view of unions? Even though they are corrupt and have been known to use the workers pension funds to fund organized crime, they actually have everybody’s best interest at heart?

I’m surprised by how many times something a dealer advertises is blatantly a lie. For instance, I was looking at a used car at a dealer. Below the dealer’s name on the sign out front, there was a smaller sign that said every used vehicle came with an free extended warranty.

Considering unions gave Obama $400M in campaign support, I am sure Biden is counting on them.

I think the issue is when a “worker organization” becomes a multi-billion dollar entity, like the UAW, the idea of helping the workers becomes an act. At that point, the union higher ups will do whatever it takes to keep in power. 

To put it another way, do you think he would consider it a “holy grail” if it was a model available in the US?

The point I was trying to make, perhaps unsuccessfully, was that those drawbacks would have been considered “quirks” that made it “awesome” if it was a vehicle only available overseas. For instance David Tracy’s recent purchase.

Ommm...If you think that is how VW got started, you may want dig a little into the history of the company. 

Not to mention that cities/states are expecting a big drop in revenue this year and next. My town has essentially put all road work on hold until they see how bad their bottom line looks. I can’t blame them for not starting projects when they know revenue is taking a big hit.

I think projects that have already started are getting finished ahead of schedule. I have family in Nashville, and they say the city has been getting stuff done during the pandemic. They finished widening and repaving the entire bypass early and finished the airport renovations three years early. For the airport, they…

They are really just Karens wanting to talk to the manager so they will wave the higher prices and give them some desert on the house. They aren’t actually that upset. It is just an act they put on to get discounts and free stuff to shut them up.

Perhaps I should have said, ‘selective use of statistics’. Apparently he only spent 1/2 hour researching this so it is not surprising he picked the first statistic that supported his argument.

That is the thing about statistics, you can argue whatever you want. He said the percentage of deaths due to rollover hasn’t changed, so the test must not be helpful. This is misleading at best. It ignores the fact we went from mostly sedans to mostly rollover prone SUVs in the decades between the numbers he cited.…

“Riders” pay Uber and Uber then decides how much to pass onto the drivers.
