OR! He could have just admitted the affair, and told the police about Lanway’s blackmail attempt. I guess the divorce might have been more than a million, though. 

I hope he gets to spend a long long time in a cell, preferably until he expires. 

Ahh got ya. So the dude paid $955k instead of the $25k blackmail and now he gets jail time. What a terrible decision.

How many hands do you have? Haha

Are car dealers a special sort of crazy or is this just typical rich guy behavior to assassinate blackmailed. Of course the whole get it on with an escort was foundational stupidity compounded by hiring hit men. 

On one hand, this seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. If he financed the car, his dropping it off at a dealership doesn’t absolve him of his responsibility to make the payments. If he paid cash for it, he’s leaving several grand just sitting there.

Dude balked at the $25k blackmail and then said, “sure, murder for $200k it is.” Am a bit confused by the $955k number though, where did that come from?

My wife and I were driving down a two lane road and I brought up the question “what would you do if I ever became incapacitated behind the wheel, and my foot came to rest on the accelerator pedal, causing the vehicle to accelerate”? Here response, what should I do? I responded that she should push the shift lever to…

EVs come with additional benefits, such as reduced reliance on oil, and environmental benefits that make them an overall better choice for the economy and environment overall. I am against the stupidly large EVs, however. I.e., Hummer.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. This is quite literally how most taxation already works. It’s used to influence citizens to make decisions that are best of the economy, environment, etc...

You forgot “America. Real Americans, not communists. Flags. Cowboys and ‘First responders.’ America.”

“Sounds like you’re a real treat at parties”

you’re a holier than thou doushenozzle who no matter what the situation is going to pretend to be on some moral high ground to put down those around you. Even if you were surrounded by environmentalists you’d be seeking some weakness in other to put them down and make them feel inferior as you virtue signal.

I feel a strong need to pile on here...

Lorries fit on UK streets, so it’s a bit silly to say pickups don’t. That said, they look ridiculously out of place there.

For good reason. They hardly have any public land and much of the “open access” land is private. It’s not like America where our National Parks are larger than all of the UK put together. They just do not have any wiggle room and have to persevere what is left of their open space with vigor. When you drive the…

I’m glad these folks are calling it out for what it is - irresponsible. I used to be of the mind that people should be able to buy whatever automobile they please, however when it leads to increased traffic, increased wear-and-tear on infrastructure, increased pedestrian related deaths, and a more polluted…

And pickup trucks don't even fit on the roads in the UK, don't forget that...

I have no way to know whether she’s fun or not, but she’s absolutely right. These ads are glamourising [sic not sic] the exact behaviours [sic not sic] and attitudes that are destroying our climate and environment and will be killing us at an accelerating rate. So I guess I don’t give a fuck about her personality.
