Yes, but if you ignore the facts, you can pretend the pandemic is over and employment is tremendous !

Not OSHA in this case, Coast Guard. Steamship inspection service folded into the CG about a hundred years ago. (Retired CG inspector here).  Cool job.

Considering the spiking case numbers, now is probably not the time to buy unless you have to.

Who was George Floyd’s killer really?

Im so sick of the counterfeit $20 dollar bill b.s., do you know how easy it is to get a counterfeit bill?  I worked in a bank and the amount of people who handed me a counterfeit bill would blow your mind.  Hell Ive had ATM machines give me counterfeit bills before because unless you specifically know what to look for

If you are in a position like GM’s (lots of product in the pipeline, but a few years off), and the business plan for bringing all those to market in the next decade or so depends on lots of people continuing to buy Silverados and Suburbans and Tahoes (which are big investments and long-lived), you’d have an incentive

I dunno, I’ve had a few people here tell me that most people should be able to afford $500+ month car payments and/or 72 month loans and are just mismanaging their money if they can’t.

We can produce electricity out of just about anything and already have the infrastructure in place to support it for the most part, with next gen Lithium and graphene

I’ve spent a few evenings watching a white journalist reporting from Portland, OR, saw him teargassed a few times but it never had me worried for his safety. Last night I saw Michael Harriot’s tweet that he’d been arrested, and I was more worried about a stranger than I’ve ever been. It was a relief to see

I agree with your skepticism. On the other hand, if I were an insurance company, I’d be doing studies like this to see how much I stand to be impacted. Of course they may try to manipulate it in their favor, but the swing of the industry is inevitable it seems at this point. I think this could also be a measure of

“Richmond is no longer the capital of the Confederacy”

I really liked The New Colossus. Stealth was way OP in New Order. The level design wasn’t quite as good, but it didn’t keep taking away all my guns and armor for, like, no reason.

One of my leases expired last month, as I am working from home at least until November, I just postponed buying/leasing because we can now get around with a single car for the family.

In unrelated news Ford announces it’s raising the price of 2021 Police Interceptor by 500%. Zero percent financing or $1000 cash back for well qualified returning customers.
