This has a shot at being the least-shit collection of responses to “What Car Should You Buy?” in the history of this bit.

Is it weird I’m just happy to see that it wasn’t a White Claw?

I look back on the cars I had when I was young and the HP they had (‘85 Sentra hatchback- ~90hp, ‘90 Integra LS -135 hp) and look at my vehicles now 290 and 415 hp) and think, ehh that is kind of middling these days, but honestly it is enough, though there are times I wish I had a V8 in my Jeep than the V6 which is no…

There also was a very very real possibility of open ground conflict between US and its European allies and Russia for a few decades after WW2. There isn’t really any threat to open ground war with China, and they don’t have the naval power to actually start a conventional war with us across the Pacific. I’d also like…

Were Hiroshima and Nagasaki REALLY more horrific than the firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden, etc? Modern conventional armaments are pretty horrible too.

Meanwhile, Honda haven’t had any PU related DNF this year (11 races!). Thanks to that, Red Bull keep getting closer to 2nd place in WCC despite only have 1 reliable driver.

Except, that article doesn’t seem to go into the biggest reason these taxes have not worked in other countries, rich people just move out of the country. When 80% of our tax income comes from the top 10%, it can cause issues if they leave in bulk.

Why build wealth in a place that might take it from you?

The wealth tax is arguably the stupidest, most vile idea being introduced by any of the Democrat candidates. Or this site. Taxing transfers of wealth in essence skims a little off the top during that wealth transfer. Taxing capital gains captures some of the profits, i.e. the additional wealth created, by the…

After reading the paper and Sperling’s twitter thread, it doesn’t fill me with confidence that the results will be different than historic efforts at wealth taxes. Even the paper’s alternate proposal - mark-to-market accounting - runs into the problem of enforcement, which historically has been the big problem with…

I hate the Synder DC movies. But I’d love to see Henry Cavill get another shot at playing Superman with a different director.

What can we on the left offer that is a better plan for migrants? I see a lot of righteous indignation over the disgusting treatments meted out to migrants on the southern US border, just as on the southern EU borders (I’m British) but I don’t see from left/green parties and commenters anything approaching a set of…

Wow, so we’re at a point where “entitled Tesla driver” trumps “Florida Man” as the epithet of choice?

The thing that stands out to me is the assertion that the Tesla driver didn’t even offer an apology. That would have been the least they could do. The other thing I am curious about, is if the charging cable wasn’t long enough to allow him to go from the car to the receptacle while still on the swale, what would he…

There is no civility left in America and it’s not because of the entitled jackasses, it’s the people that refuse to hold the entitled jackasses accountable.

That’s an immediate tow from my perspective. And putting a little pebble in the valve stem cap as well.

Dude is an absolute saint, if only because he’s waging a one-man crusade against the Florida Man stereotype.  

(Sorry, I’m going to fanboy the fuck out here for a minute.)
