1. This person is absolutely insane, but people have made ruinous financial decisions forever.

I can’t imagine how you could not determine that a vehicle didn’t fit you on an extended test drive. Unless you didn’t bother to do one. Which would make you an idiot.

If you were in the business, you know just as well as I do that a 121% LTV higher than a giraffe’s ass, but they’ll absolutely get it done.

That’s about $1000 more than my mortgage....  (And my car payments are currently $0.)  I can’t even imagine that level of financial irresponsibility.  

Article about leaded gas is immediately followed by a story headlined as: Customer Tells Dealer They Are Underwater $29,000 On Car Loan And Willing To Accept A $2,500 Monthly Payment On A New Mercedes-Benz

Let me introduce you to the man who killed the most people in history all for sake of taking care of engines’ knocking.

Fun fact (okay, maybe not so fun): Thomas Midgely, who played a key role in developing leaded gasoline, also invented Freon and many other harmful CFCs. It is very likely that no other single person has had such a long-lasting and deleterious effect on the environment.

Most of us were also exposed to hazardous levels of tobacco smoke and asbestos, as well . . . The world is a complex place and none of us is getting out of here, alive.  And who’s to say if more lead was ingested from our water pipes or from sucking on tailpipes?!

I guess we should hurry up and FINALLY ban the shit that keeps flying over my house then, eh FAA?

Remember, NHTSA says pedal confusion accidents happen 44 times per day in the US. But we should first blame the Tesla, then read the car’s logs, then we can blame the victim driver for mashing the go pedal instead of the stop pedal. :)

No time for in-depth reporting, got to get it on the internet for clicks.

Probably humans in India or Pakistan making $2 a day to look at images. The error rate for humans doing this work is particularly low given that the software was given incorrect information as to where the no parking zones were located and the humans would not be expecting to sort those out.

Dark mornings are going to continue to happen regardless of any change. If it’s permanent standard time that means the winter mornings stay the same. If it’s permanent Daylight time then the sun comes up even later.

And in any case. whether it permanent Daylight savings time or permanent standard time, we need to stop moving the clock. Anyone with pets or young kids can attest to the fresh hell it creates twice a year.

PERMANENT DST.
Standard time can get bent. I want my sun in the afternoon evening, and extra hour of light in the morning during the winter serves no purpose.

This. I want more daylight when I’m done working for the day, not before.

other things I am willing to try include; 4 day work week, 6 hours being full time (with increased wages). oh wow you have a little less light at the golf course whaa whaa, you really think an experiment from the 70s involve the same types of people today?

Good idea, but we should actually make Daylight Standard Time the actual Standard time.

Permanent standard time means the sun rises an hour before most people wake up in the summer.
