I didn’t define capitalism. I said the basis of “business”, under capitalism, is still providing a good or service(i.e. not just making money). If you wanted to be a successful pedant, you should have gotten me on saying “in exchange for money” instead of “for profit.”

No, the general idea of business under capitalism is to provide a good or service in exchange for money. The key part there being adding value to the customer through a good or service. Private Equity firms don’t care about adding any value, they do the bare minimum to get to whatever number they need within whatever…

Depends on whether or not you know “Kimi” personally. 

This is the company that built the Supra, The RWD performance Corolla, The Celica, The MR2 Turbo etc.. and then canned it all because people wanted SUVs, Trucks, and Minivans. If the world wanted an all electric LC, they’d be building it if it was practical. They give zero F’s about nostalgia over profit.

I was shocked...absolutely shocked how nimble and fun the is200t is to drive, I really thought it would be a meh car.  It's the best loaner car I've had in years.

I was thinking exactly this. I don’t know where to find a Camry with a factory v8 or twin turbo v6. Why do we live in a world where reliability isn’t as beautiful an ownership aspect as the quality of the leather.  I absolutely love that when I push the start button on my ISF, I'm not worried about a check engine…

None of what you just said makes any sense in terms of a service. Lazy is your opinion, I’m sure plenty people would frame it as convenient, and they’re willing to pay for it. Why do I need to bend my schedule around a subway schedule, when I can have a car show up when I want? As for regulations, they’re maintained…

I literally just posted something similar above.  Why not actually compete with Uber/Lyft?

If trains were better or cheaper, I don’t believe people would be taking Ubers. There has to be a reason they’re preferring Ubers over a train. Why not suggest ways to make the trains better, rather than handicap the Ubers?

I’m going to assume this is a joke.

Considering how little people know about the sports they currently watch you might have a point.  However, people seem to spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on humans associated with sports than the sport themselves so I'm not sure they'd be into robotic racing. I'd probably watch a few races but I'm a…

The field is includes the other 2 teams, with cars that are just as fast, I don’t understand your point here.  I keep bringing up what’s going on, on the track, and you keep talking about people’s personalities..lol.  You watching racing or voting for high school council?

I don’t think you realize just how good these guys are in a car. You don’t think he knows he has a lot of fuel, and that his tires are cold on a start? You think he’d get this far if he didn’t know how to compensate for that lol..seriously. This guy doen’t know how to get off his brakes and drift left to prevent…

I have a friend who held off on buying his next car because of the 2019 announcement date. He doesn’t read Jalopnik, or any car blogs in general, so doesn’t care about the teasing.  As long as they deliver the car when they say they will, and get the required good reviews they'll be fine.  I don't understand why…

I got my racing license in a formula car, which is so far removed from an F1 car it’s not even funny. Formula cars are so responsive, it’s mind boggling. You’re telling me someone of Raikkonen’s skill in an F1 car couldn’t avoid that accident, I also have a bridge to sell you. It’s why there was a 10 second penalty,…

Lol, well played my google home spelled it wrong.  It still doesn’t change my point.

I have seen Vettel, do much worse when he’s the one at fault, and he’s also a professional race car driver. I believe you’re confusing professionalism with edicate. The guy drove his car back up to 2nd by turning laps, sometimes over 1 second, faster than the rest of the field before his tires gave out. That’s him…

We must have been watching two different races. Is the guy not allowed to be pissed that a very skilled driver spun him? I have no idea why you guys hate Hamilton so much, this year a Ferrari driver is spinning or punting someone on the track more than they should be.  At some point you're going to stop assuming it's…

I don’t understand people who use Toyota as a negative term. Like it’s a bad thing being in a sports car from a brilloliant engineering company.

They’ll get paid more but they’ll be less riders, because the price of Uber will go up, so they’ll probably end up making the same before Uber goes out of business from not being competive with taxis. Then they’ll have no jobs.
