So will Orkin be signing up for the first few hundred in white? :)

Also, kudos to Ford. This is gonna be huge....Hyundai and Honda lack one big thing when it comes to the Pilot & Santa Cruz: truck street cred. While it doesn’t mean so much to mean, I can see lots of buyers willing to give this a chance since it’s a…

Yup - it’s like that 3rd row seat in smaller SUVs.  Suddenly you don’t feel like you’re stuck being only able to carry X people.  You have the chance to put 7 people in your RAV4....but you never will.  

Cleveland Grand Prix! Burke Lakefront Airport would be easy to convert again. It’s a rust belt Monaco!

God this is such great advice & turn of phrase.  I feel I need to borrow this.

That’s exactly why my parents moved here just before I was born.  And navigated from a 99% white town to a 93% white town.  I choose to still live here with my kids for the schools mostly. Accepting lots of bullshit to get good schools has been challenging lately.  

YUP!  This point exactly.  I mentioned some of that history in my post.  We’ve generally been proud of that history/legacy.  But it seems a bit like window dressing:  “see we’re not racists...we were on the underground railroad!”

South of Columbus may as well be. You see Confederate flags flying in Cincinnati and SW Ohio bordering W Virginia is also “rough” from that standpoint.

Cleveland/Toledo/Youngstown in the northern part of the state definitely have a lot of conservative pockets, but for whatever it’s worth, I don’t see too many…

It helps if you have a really flashy car too!

I wondered if this would make this site...

This is my hometown (and current town). This action is disgusting and comes right on the heels of some very passionate anti-CRT and anti-D&I training school board meetings. And just last week there was an ugly incident at the high school where students playing a game used some…

I have less love for Doom (if we could tone down the shrieking Willie by about 40%, I’d be fully on board), but Last Crusade is great. I do think Raiders is objectively a better movie, but I almost like Crusade more.

Sort of like James Bond movies...I know Goldfinger is the better movie, but I like You Only Live Twice…

I’m full on brown (Indian), but it was more about being white-collar job. The office workers have many similar (but different) issues, but factory work or manual labor is a whole other ballgame. I work in a safe, clean, AC environment and can go to the bathroom whenever I feel like it. Now, the question of should we…

yup -- just how exactly should one navigate this disconnect?!

Yah, Regan definitely made a shift on this.  War on Drugs (heavily going after low-level criminals that were often low income;  and that jail time meant they’d stay low income).  And at the same time said they’d all be helped my trickle down economics.  Just gross.

I don’t want to ever discount the hard work or the risk-taking of those who bet on themselves and build a business or take chances in their career. But to completely overlook luck, is a blindspot. Think of your own life. How many times could some minor thing of turning left or right could have totally changed the…

Great points.  As a 40 yr old, I didn’t want to go too much further back than my own perceptions, but you’re right....not a new movement.

I agree w/ many of these points. As always, nothing is ever cut and dry

It’s an interesting thing that’s happened over the last 30-40-50 years maybe. pendulum has certainly moved from workers’ rights/working condition to heavy support for the c-suite (not even counting the “rockstar” CEOs).

We’ve really vilified the poor. You’re poor because you’re dumb or don’t work hard. And speaking up…

This right here.  dangling a carrot of USGP and coming in for the Brickyard was a great way to entice that idiot and sow discord.  A shame.  Blew that shit up.

I took this to be the normal non-Si, but your point stands.  If looking for something with a bit more flare, then even a Si wouldn’t fly.  But I do think it would fit the bill nicely here.

We’re at hour 22 now. Though Shane said corrections were made. I’m honestly, truly not trying to be a jerkface here. But I’m puzzled about this response to pointing out a typo. I’ve seen numerous stories where a commenter makes a correction (typo or factual), the story gets corrected, and we all move on. This is the…
