Yup, that’s why a lot of rural roads have signs that say no dumping. While walking a rural utility easement I once came across a small-house-sized pile of garbage that I assume was someone’s personal dump. It’s not shocking to see full garbage bags on the side of back road highways.

The nicotine would be good for highly anxious & depressed social media addicts. Maybe they could even swap addictions and get more people off Facebook.

That you actually need 4wd in most parts of the country. My Veloster did fine in the far west suburbs of Chicago and site visits all over northern IL every winter. Snow tires > 4wd.

Exactly this. The Yukon Denali is for people with money who don’t want to tell you about while the Cadillac is for the people who want to tell you how much money they have. I’ve gotten a few people to look up the MSRP when I tell them the F250 King Ranch with extended bed in my neighbor’s driveway is probably the most

A real American would have shot them down, though. 

When people block the box. Almost every time someone does it, the people getting blocked get mad and start running the red. If all 4 directions are busy, then those folks who got blocked are likely to block it for the next group out of frustration that they missed almost the whole light cycle. Then those newly blocked

Who is writing the program? Humans. Sounds like they’ve eliminated nothing and made it so a single human mistake can impact the entire system as opposed to a single car. 

Interest rates almost always climb as the length does, so it would look more like

The word cartel is the modern version of the word marijuana from when a cartel of American businesses decided to crush the hemp industry. It’s pretty firmly entrenched in probably 40%+ of Americans that cartel = scary Mexicans (that includes the ignorance that drug cartels exist everywhere but the Fox viewer still

Commision based income is good because it could reward people who put in the time/effort to be good at their jobs. It is also bad because it invites a lot of ethical issues since the income relies on closing the deal, ranging from morally gray to flat out illegal. If a business owner exclusively cares about short term

When the average market sale price is almost $50k, a $60k BEV SUV is relatively okay. I think it’s the case where the car is NP but the market is CP. 

If you have 3 kids and want a BEV, this is by far the cheapest big car option. It’s certainly possible to use a 5 seater for the family of 5. I did it with 3 kids in car seats, but we also had a 7 seater at the time to make up for the drawbacks of a small car. The only direct competition to the EV9 starts at $80k. 

People are beginning to discover that supply chains and economies of scale as big as the automarket are extremely complicated. Or they’ll just parrot small talking points that fit a pre-existing belief. Can’t imagine which of those options will be more popular. 

I think most college students know it is stupid, but they’re all in a race to get the 10 years of experience required for entry level jobs. This is one of those incidents where the benefits of generational wealth can shine. To most people, it sounds crazy to be willing to work for free, but it is very easy to jump

Arguably a step up compared the ever-common celebrity marriage/divorce that gets publicized. 

In the pre-internet days, these slasher movies were definitely a reliable way to get nudity on a screen. 

The sq ft minimums in some places almost makes the ritzier places easier to move to. The more typical office space locations cost just as much or more when they require 3 times the space we actually need. Better off paying for a place with a nice cafe, gym, & transit access than just paying for space no one wants to

When the bosses can (and did) call in the police or national guard to arrest & kill you for being inconvenient, the level of things people get away with is absolutely staggering. Odds are you don’t have a foreman that could beat your coworker to death and then watch the local cops drag the body away without a care, so

Many companies around me and most of my clients have gone back in office at least part time, but my execs are set on keeping us remote. All of our company surveys have said ~80% want full remote almost everywhere, so we’ve been downsizing offices as leases run out and shifting those rent budgets to event budgets. So
