God damn it, there’s a nonzero chance you’re right.

¿Porque no los dos?

This is quality journalism. Undeniable facts, and nothing but.

That’s kind of the point. They thefts are so rampant, the police can’t keep up. They have non-Kia-theft stuff going on as well.

I mean, I haven’t held cash in forever. Probably a decade since I had over $100 on me. And when someone gives me some, I’m like, “okay, what am I gonna do with this?”

If only...

Chicken? Egg?

Takes a bit of both to try, I’d wager. Probably a good thing for the rest of us haha

I learned a new word today!

1. Everyone with “sense” has left.

Hopefully, but unlikely. Most of them are white.

They're doing both, sadly.

I heard tell that a certain Mr. Buffett once had an encounter with one after blowing out his flip flop. Sounded unpleasant, truth be told. Something like that would make me want a strong, perhaps tropical, drink.

I grew up in bumblefuck South Carolina. I don’t know that I ever saw pull-tab sodas, but I definitely saw leaded gas. Advertised proudly, like an idiotic badge of *courage* or some shit.

That last sentence is by far the most important. And the most correct.

Good points. I probably misread the article to be implying the system was only on two routes, and both were borked, rather than “two of X total routes were borked."

I am blown away that leaded gas was still being sold when I first got my license.

Agreed. Something ugly and idiotic can make an impression just as easily as something beautiful. Sometimes even easier haha.

Fair enough. I guess my issue is when the reporting of “just the accident” is done in a way that leads the reader toward a particular interpretation.

Oh, big same. I always say “better than bad does not necessarily mean good.”
