Like much financial advice, the fact of the matter is that on paper, vs. in practice are two very different things.

That Canoe looks like someone used bondo on the the whole side, and they waited too long to use it, so it started to get set up and chunky and they thought to themselves... “fuck it, I’m going to use this shit anyway, it’ll all sand out smooth like glass, and I won’t have to mix more of this awful shit”...

YAY! HI Kristen!

I’d love to see nissan bring back the 240sx (or 180sx turbo’d).  

This is in no way meant to detract from the work that Doctors and Nurses are doing these days, but for the love of christ, most Doctors and Nurses I know don’t need a break on their fucking cell phone bill. Also, the comment about people hunkering down? Schools were closed, Teachers continued to work (just like I did)

Marketing... I can think of at least a few times where makers have temporarily “borrowed” The name of a well  established model in order to kickstart name recognition(hello Pathfinder Armada)

The company will file for bankruptcy, they will sell the IP to some foreign company who will take the brand and start to deliver the kind of products you’re all saying they should build, but then no one will buy them because they won’t be made here.

This. Also, make periodic backups because there’s no promise anyone is going to give you leisurely access to your data after you find out you’re getting canned, OR when you give notice.  

This dovetails nicely with your article yesterday about how you can go to college in many EU countries for free...

you can make it boot up, but not log in.

My god, this was really, really close to the marketing equivalent of nostradamus....

how big of a bowl? if they eat the whole thing, do I refill it? how many times do I refill it?

In the business of what? knowing what all 12k + dealerships are doing? I would absolutely believe that you know your dealership/group, but how can you say that you know what the entire industry is doing?

FWIW, i’m under the impression that the author of the article very rarely is the one who actually writes the title of the piece.  

I would agree with this sentiment, with one exception.  If the dealerships are using the money to pay “draw” salaries to salesmen, that will need to be paid back, I think that’s bordering on fraud (in the case where the loans are forgivable).  

There are soooooooo many people taking the opportunity to be a jerk in sooooo many situations right now.

it’s not an awesome idea to keep an aerosolized bottle of anything in a car that will get extremely hot inside. 

When I saw all the articles in March talking about how we thought air travel should be reshaped after Covid, all I did was roll my eyes and sigh. And reading the comments revealed a lot of earnest folks who really thought this was going to lead to some sort of sea change.

Hellz no.
