Thank you! We (and Erik) don’t know. You beat me to the premise that Grandpa might have busted his ass in a steel mill for 40 years and saved for this now he’s screwed and Schilling is laughing at him. Well done Comrade Schilling!!

For all we know, grandpa Krawll may have pulled himself up by the bootstraps in 19-diggity-three and worked his ass off for those $10k plane tickets. He may have one foot in the grave and this is his last hurrah. He might be a scumbag CEO playing with golden parachute money. The important thing is Erik Shilling…

More than once I’ve been in a situation where multiple people chipped in on something like this and one person was the point person making the purchase for one reason or another.

100% agree. When I read this quote in the article, I was like, seriously?

And really, its 10k. Spending 10 grand on a family vacation that you maybe saved up for years and used some of your airline miles and rewards points on is a fairly mundane thing.

Because screw people that work for themselves and own businesses, right? You don’t know her expenses to rent that apartment, or her mortgage obligation. Not only is that person out income, they likely have a substantial negative cash flow due to those expenses and mortgage payment. She probably has tens of thousands…

But there is a difference in a heavy sympathy for those evicted and actively enjoying a person’s problems simply because it can be worse. It’s okay to be indifferent on vacation grandpa, but it just makes him look like an asshole for being so outwardly happy about strangers having problems.

A principle I’ve tried in recent years is to expand on for myself is the concept of “if you don’t believe in X for those you disagree with, then you don’t believe in X.” One of the unfortunate sides of this is realizing what horrible flaming hypocrites many people are.

Agreed, I think of myself as a good little liberal, but the hate on anyone above a struggling blogger is nauseating. Also at 10K for 14 tickets, they sure as hell aren’t flying business.

Imagine the irony if that guy turned out to be a UAW worker.

Honestly, fuck you.

I was excited for 1/10th of a second before I realized: It probably won’t come here and if it does it almost certainly won’t get a manual gearbox.

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Yes, they never seemed to allocate many of these GT N-lines to dealers. I did an inventory search after seeing it reviewed last year, and I think there were two Elantra GT N-lines in stock within a 250 mile radius of me.

That’s a bummer because it’s a really awesome car. Glad I picked mine up while I could.

Most taxi drivers are contractors and yet somehow Jalopnik never had issue with that either. 

This about sums it up. I wonder if Raphael really believes this posture? Or is it just the reality that nuance does not generate clicks? 

It seems that what’s left of Jalopnik is in a constant state of panicked rage. Are they getting enough food?

This ruling is based purely on emotion. Drivers really don’t meet the standard of being employees. They aren’t scheduled like employees, they aren’t accountable like employees, and they aren’t paid like employees. The design of rideshare platforms and the appeal to a large number of drivers is to let you make extra…

Today, California ruled that Uber and Lyft must stop pretending that their drivers are independent contractors and start treating them for what they are: employees.
