1st: As far as I know about it (which, albeit isn’t a megaton), working in the Ports is a pretty damn good job. The union is incredibly strong and the pay is enviable for most positions. I do know that those crane operators make a shit-ton of money. I’d imagine all of those folks are absolutely banking right now with…

Urea is mainly produced with coal or natural gas as a byproduct of industrial ammonia production. The recent rise of natural gas prices has caused a slowdown in urea production. Along with the increased cost of an ingredient, the factories themselves have had to cut output due to electricity rationing in the…

Humans literally produce millions of gallons of urea daily. We just flush it down the drain. Relying on one country as a source of everything to run ours is biting us in the ass. FYI - Trucks ran for decades without DEF and still could be now temporarily with a stroke of a pen. The “crisis” is a manufactured one.

Better headline: “Alleged gang member kills pedestrian in street-racing crash”

Then he should probably say that.

1st gear: America used to produce enough oil to satisfy all domestic demand. That is no longer the case. These things are related.

Agitating for the workers does not require internal consistency, comrade. 

“Telling drivers to just get an EV. What assholes.”

As if a not well paid gig driver can afford to plunk down $45k or more for a new EV. And telling the drivers to rent an EV from Hertz? Now they can be exploited by two giant corporations. Oh, joy (for the shareholders)! 

“rich app companies themselves”

That light could not have been any redder.

You’re a horrendous person if you celebrate a death like this. 

Wow.  Do you really believe that? 

Laws don’t apply to legislators. Their vehicles will be free of any of these kinds of things.

Don’t listen to the other self righteous jerk. People can change and grow to be better. Your perspective is helpful to this conversation.

“Won’t somebody think of the children‽”

Ban all cars and shut down all roads. If nobody was allowed to drive, then nobody would die in vehicle crashes. I solved the problem for you.

I’m all for preventing drunk driving, but fuck this kind of invasive nanny state technology. Apparently I’ll be driving a lot more vintage cars in the future, because I flatly refuse to drive a car that might suddenly decide I’m too tired because of the always on cameras monitoring my every move.

Calling it now: This is going to be a shit show and the money would be better spent on increased enforcement during peak DWI hours.

My parent’s new fully loaded Outback has some of that tech in it and it’s complete garbage. You cant even physically move your head to check a blind spot without it getting pissed. The worst is when you have to stare at the jumbo infotainment to figure out the AC and it goes off.
