The Ritual surprised me with how good it was, highly recommend. 

We all know that government regulations = communism while the government shooting/bombing union workers = free market patriotism. 

At this point, I’m 100% convinced that every American is within 100 yards of an empty alcohol container at all times. One of those is a certainty for every road I've walked. 

I’m almost certain someone at some point said they should get more protection there and whoever is charge of the budget said “no one could be stupid enough to drive into this”

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.

Sometimes when I go to Giz it will spend about a week auto-redirecting me to the Spanish version. Not sure why it does this, it just happens for a bit and then stops. When I use the browser to translate it back to English, there will be similar grammar mistakes in the English-translated blog. I assumed it was because

Yup. Those investments are a big part of where bank profits and credit union dividends come from. I’d be more shocked if a bank wasn’t investing all cash on hand (beyond what the fed tells them to have on hand).

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.
