This is merely an extension of the same policy that brought us the artificial islands, which were referenced in the article.

You know when we should have taken that significant first step with respect to those artificial islands? Before they were built. Too late now, those horses have left the barn.

I guarantee Neil and Bob here were taking a deduction for depreciation on this thing. They’re lucky if they don’t owe taxes after getting their insurance check because the asset may be valued lower than the payout.

Were they depreciating it as an asset in service?

Unigawkervision’s wet dream is for the Trump administration to make a move on them. They want to press things as far as they can to incite a response and then scream first amendment. It’s not going to happen.

Thank you sir. I know there is a wall between sales and production, and there is only so much you can do...

Univision.

Gotta keep earning those Univision dollars. I almost feel bad watching how far these guys have to reach to inject this shit into their writing. Almost.

Haven’t found a solution for iOS that works. I can’t read any longish articles here because of the stupid auto play video ads that crash Chrome about the sixth or seventh time they get embedded while scrolling. Guess they don’t care because it boosts the view counts and the people paying for it haven’t realized that…

I did once. I want free tools.

Jalopnik/Gawker/Univision readers. Just a heads up: The above advertisement is complete and total bullshit. You get nothing, there is no free shit, it’s a complete scam that is just used to gather your personal information. Don’t click on it.   

Go ahead and ignore the fact that we’ve pretended that isn’t what China has been trying to achieve over the past 8 years.

Sorry buddy, but you can’t unring the bell here. China walked all over us for the past 8 years with respect to this subject, and we are pretty well painted into a corner. The good news is that you can use the ignorance of the American people to blame the fallout on Trump, so Univision will love it.

But the US is evil, and defending our interests is totally wrong. We should treat every country as our superior and let them have their way. We’ve had our day in the sun, and should just mind our own business.

Yeah, comparing the Caribbean to the massive trade economy of Eastern Asia is... not very good analysis.

Maybe we could keep asking them nicely to stop doing it, then continue to shrug our shoulders and say “Oh well, we tried!” when they take advantage of our toothless demands? Stay the course, so to speak.

I admit to being a bit of a pack rat with respect to spares at the track, but I’ve never brought a spare door. Good on them!

An officer to enlisted ratio as high as this thing has should tell you everything you need to know.

99% of the time, the lack of punctuation at the end of a headline doesn’t stick out. Justin, you (or your editor) have made the 1%.

Good to hear there is at least a standard, even if some automakers want to go their own way for now. I’ll question the ubiquitous part until I see them at least 25% as often as I see gas stations.
