Yeah, we get it, everyone hates slideshows. Insert comment lambasting the current state of internet writing. Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way...

Are you in a plane seat and the emergency pamphlet indicates it’s a 737 MAX? Why? Where do you have to go that you’re on a plane in the middle of a pandemic? Get off the plane. Go home. Don’t go anywhere. Stop flying places. SERIOUSLY STAY HOME WHAT ABOUT THIS IS SO DIFFICULT.
+5hp, also adds lightness.
Sure, it could, but I have the freedom to decide where I hire my team, so I think for now, at least, a lot of the higher touch jobs and managerial roles stay here. Lower paying or lower priority roles will probably move overseas, as they have been for years. I’ve been using web devs from Eastern Europe for nearly a…
I’m not sure how we’re handling it! It seems to me that currently we’re still hiring at normal “market” rate for DC, incentivizing people that don’t live in the area. We would consider moving out of the immediate area, but just moved into a rowhouse in the city that we love, so it just doesn’t make sense for us. The…
The massive flight from New England city centers suggests that a lot of the people don’t expect to go back anytime soon. And they’re not renting. They’re in large part buying.
How does your company deal with salaries? A lot of salaries are high solely due to location, for example, the bay area in CA or DC area like you. I’ve been curious to see how salaries will be determined for those working remote elsewhere. Will people still get that premium rate while living elsewhere?
This. My company found out that we can do a huge majority of our operations at home at 100 percent efficiency. If it wasnt for the fact we already owned the building we work in, I would imagine that we would of gotten rid of at least our corporate building
“At the moment, a lot of the slack is getting taken up by remote working, but I don’t think that will last forever.”
In a family of dull Lexus designs, this one was obviously fathered by the milkman. I only found out much later that the milkman was Giugiaro.
Good taste. Giugiaro helped design this one, I believe.
The 90s Lexus GS. I have no idea why I liked it, but I did appreciate the “sporty coupe” vibes it had, along with futuristic (to me at the time) taillights. I would agonize over how I would build it out when I was an adult, what features to add, what colors and wheels. I thought customizing the perfect GS would…
Good post there Sally
Wait, you’re trying to tell me that it’s surprising that one of the most corrupt, self-dealing industies, that’s permanently stuck in the 1970s, getting high off its own supply with stock buy-backs can’t make up its mind about what is best for itself? Well, slap my ass and call me Sally.
Finally sent one in to you, Tom - Koons Sterling is NOTORIOUS for their ridiculous WOW pricing and offerings. They also currently have a Shelby F150 and ANOTHER GT500, but it’s only marked up to $120k.
Sell by the boatload.
Fundamentally, it’s still just a Civic, in the same way that the nicest version of the GTI is still a Golf. But yes, very much the equivalent, and before that, the high end ‘30s cars.
It’s all so silly. These were never “collectors” car, and this weird quirk in the market will die off in a few years leaving a bunch of people with 90's economy cars with sport suspensions and tuned engines that aren’t worth the $30-50k they paid for them. I bought a 91 MR2 Turbo on BaT, so I’m not immune to the…
I was more posting for those that didn’t understand the reference and aren’t “in” on the many references that were made about this vehicle (and other similar overly priced 90s Japanese “radwood” cars) in the comments sections on Jalopnik.
