They were both trying to play each other in that scene, who actually won remains to be seen but I’d say Shiv was at least in the game with him. Kendall and Roman were out matches from the moment they stepped off the tram.

I’m not so sure that it’s Shiv’s comment that convinces Mattson to increase his bid. I think Roman’s outburst was an unintentionally great negotiating tactic. By displaying genuine emotion, he made Mattson realize that Roman and Kendall could actually walk away from the deal entirely. Mattson knows that he’s not great…

That’s what accounting is for. Trust me, the stuff we are working on is not messy at all compared to corporate books. It’s a matter of political will; if we as a nation decide that we want to tax wealth we can figure out the details and get it done.

The ultra-rich don't need to liquidate their assets to access that cash though; they get ultra-low interest loans secured by stock when they want to make large purchases. A while back Zuckerberg got a mortgage with a 1.05% interest rate, even when inflation is low that's essentially free (and untaxed) money.

“Less lethal” is also used for projectiles that aren’t intended to kill, such as the beanbag shotgun rounds used for riot control. Since this is also a projectile fired from a gun which is not intended to kill but still could potentially kill someone, that description would apply hear as well. 

The bad guy’s big plot in Quantum of Solace was doubling the price of water in rural Bolivia. It was based on real life, except the way it went down is they tripled the price of water, the writers changed it to double because thought that was too unbelievable for a Bond villain. That's pretty damn bad.

Leaving Speedy off the list is absolutely ridiculous. Sure, there were some negative stereotypes there, and there are a couple of Speedy shorts that cross the line. But for me personally, growing up as a Mexican American in the 80's he was damn near the only Mexican on TV that wasn’t a drug dealer. Speedy was always…

Speedy should be top ten if you ask me.

It’s all the same, if it meets the relevant SAE standards, it’s literally interchangeable. I work for a company that sells biodiesel to all the big fuel companies and it doesn’t matter where it comes from, as long as it meets specs (and more importantly, as long as the amounts of carbon credits and renewable…

Sure, some of them do. But not all. And it only takes one idiot to shoot back, then there’s real gunfire for the “experts” to react to.

go to Disneyland in California instead. IMO it's better than Disney world anyway.

It sounds like the dealers could give a shit about consumer's concerns, per the article they just want a cut of the revenue.

He’s learned Trump’s willingness to shamelessly lie and pick ridiculous fights to score political points, but without going full asshole like Trump. That’s what worries me.

EXACTLY. Prime time game shows were a big deal before reality shows became a big deal, Survivor was following the success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, shows like Big Brother followed Survivor and then lead to more and more “reality” TV. 

Fuck yeah, every time I get behind the wheel I’d know I’m saving money driving myself! The Dad-Satisfaction would be epic.

Ok, vegetarian SUV owners get a pass.

Yeah but you’re talking about a country where people think their dumbass hobby is the most important right they have and don't care if it kills people.

But I thought guns were for self protection! How could this happen???

I like to overcomplicate things, so I pour out a couple ounces then jab a little breather hole in the corner with my pocket knife. That way I can pour it with the spout closer to the engine without glugging. I think I learned that from my dad, going back to the days when oil came in a can and the spout was the can…

Self-deprecating humor works best when it comes from one's self. There are plenty things I'll say about myself that I would also find offensive coming from someone else.
