I don’t get the negative light on the police in this instance. Dude hoons his stolen car, hits cop, pulls gun, gets shot..... where is the malice from the police?

I’m guessing you live in a safe neighborhood with great quality of life. That’s why you default to skepticism. If you lived in a rough area for a year or two your perspective would change dramatically.

The lack of understanding of the economy is really one of the qualities that shines through in most of Erik’s articles.

“I didn’t totally grasp how the economy worked in terms of dealers and used cars”

You don’t understand how this works in the city. If something happens, you better have your gun ready, whether what happened was your fault or not. Doesn’t matter who hit who, be ready to have a gun in your face by making sure that you have your gun ready. Especially at sideshows. Everyone is packing.

You lost me at “dude”

I understand your skepticism, but this is a legit concern in Detroit right now (and probably elsewhere). I live about 5 blocks outside of Detroit proper, and had my Pacifica locked and sitting in my driveway overnight last week. Thieves smashed through the passenger window and used the counterfeit fob technique to…

Agreed - many commenters should spend a couple of weeks around downtown Detroit before spouting off with their pious rhetoric. I think I’d rather be on patrol in the middle east than a cop in Detroit.

Car thief gets shot after crashing into police vehicle, accomplices flee on foot.

Alternate headline: Car thief gets shot, accomplices flee on foot

How about leaving the crotch monkeys at home until they are old enough to behave themselves and not screech for an entire flight? So no, I am not cutting parents any slack at all.

Fancy Kristin please let me onto your private jet, I promise my filthy plebeian won't touch anything important

New Yorkers are, and always have been, the worst. The best way to describe them is impulsive and pointlessly aggressive. They don’t look more than one car length ahead and so dive into every single little opening only to get stuck. Then they forcefully cut others off in an attempt to regain lost ground. They’re the…

Well, I will agree with you that it takes a certain amount of masochism to live in NYC long term. I’m glad I had the experience, but I’d never move back even if they doubled my salary to do it.

International shipping would have to bend the knee if countries housing the largest port volumes decided to impose emissions restrictions. If the US, EU, South Korea, Japan, the UK, and Singapore decided to phase in port restrictions, shipbuilders would attempt to follow the new rules. The market for older, less…

Erik is so clueless as to what needs to be done to get to a significant amount of EVs. Those advocating for EVs are often the same ones that are the first to say no to a new lithium mine in their state. He doesn’t mention that it takes well over 10 years just to get a permit for a new mine. He also doesn’t mention the…

One guy telling people what to do is not how this country is supposed to work.

What about federally mandating both AC and DC charging plugs and making sure all charging stations conform to the same guidelines and standards across the entire nation first?

As a former Valujet employee, I will never fly a discount airline again. Its Delta or nobody.
