It would probably be a lot easier to stomach if Ford wasn’t also bleeding money on recalls. 

Money and childcare are also the 2 big reasons that stop people from getting divorced. I bet divorce rates would be closer to 75% if everyone could afford to live on their own.

I assume a profit is being made on every line-item cost to everything I buy. No business charges what they need to survive, they charge what they think you are willing to pay. I just wish it was part of the advertised MSRP. They know where everything is being shipped, have already averaged the costs to determine what…

I would think you’re better off just using the batteries as extra capacity and then keep the regen breaking. That should remove a lot of complexity (ie cost) and the safety concerns of amateur drivers having power behind the hitch.

They’re good for people who work from their cars, in general. The driver seat is quite annoying to operate a laptop or write things down.

1st - The top executives at Carvana already cashed out a bunch of shares last year when the stock was high. While I’m sure they’d like even more money, tanking the stock and walking away isn’t the problem for them that we would like it to be. 

They appointed them, but the Senate won’t approve them. The razor thin majority means they all nominations basically need 100% Dem approval, as the Rs will deny literally everyone just to be obstructionist. 

There’s no telling how much longer we get Dafoe with classic Dafoe energy. I’ll take whatever he chooses to do for as long as he can keep doing it. He also remains the #1 Spiderman villain to date, so he can keep that rolling (I’d accept Vulture as #1, but Dafoe remains my favorite).

Thomas will probably throw in that all future abortion cases can be handled privately in arbitration (but still include jail time) because the constitution does not mention the word arbitration.

Disney & WB bought all of the comics, so they need to find different pieces of already written media to recreate.

I would say the ego of denying the cameos is what did Black Adam in. It seems like there was a lot of bickering in the background, so I bet most of the writers just did what the Rock asked and didn’t even bother trying to argue for improvements as they watched him yell at studio executives. Not that WBs has shown…

I would assume that anyone actively turning off their seatbelt warning would also prefer that the object be gun shaped (along with most other accessories in their life). They are also likely to desire a bottle opener in their car. It really is a complete product for that well-regulated militia driving around. 

Waivers are applied for by the people funding the actual build, not the companies supplying the physical parts (I am assuming this program is similar to the Buy America program that has been in place for roadway infrastructure since Obama). That could be a very convoluted process about who’s legally responsible for…

They are likely concerned with the primary issue of the Buy America components - it can be really really hard to find them and get them on site in time, even if you can ignore the added costs. Arguably, we are better off long term by continuing to enforce BA as strictly as usually, as that should incentivize more…

I’m guessing that it is because of the price point, but Corvette seems to be the only brand that gets away with the idea of a “supercar” you’re supposed to DD, while cars the NSX, i8, & R8 all get knocked for not being more supercar like a Ferrari.

Too bad they can’t save us from their dealer network. 

That was my main thinking. A bunch of Euro-American companies investing into the factories and then giving away all of their manufacturing experience is a much bigger loss than patents. They paid China to take their businesses in exchange for cheap labor and lax environmental laws. 

I wonder how much IP theft actually helps when it comes to building cars. It’s not like the knowledge is a special secret and people can’t look at existing American patents. The patent just stops people from selling stuff in America. I’m almost certain the executives who made those decisions were well aware of what…

That’s the real secret to vertical thrust. 

Texas & Florida legislators are currently writing a new law to ban these TVs in all schools.
