Exactly, they’ll report huge quarterly profits that “fell short of projections”. Higher ups get profit bonuses while everyone else has their bonus tied to those unachievable goals.

They know there have been enough layoffs in the industry. They can shit on their employees and expect them to stay.

They are only making high end models because the margins are much, much, much better on high priced cars. For every dollar invested to make the product the return is much better at the high end of the market. They will only make lower priced models if they can’t sell higher priced ones. As an example, it is possible…

Sovereign Citizens and related movements don’t so much scream “mentally ill” as they scream “Nobody can tell me what to do”.

Where’s the moral outrage about an obviously mentally ill person being unjustly kill by (multiple) police officers?

I have to disagree, the driver threatened the officers, then reached for a firearm that after the event was on the floor on the passenger side. the only way that gun moves from his holster to the floor is if he was pulling it from the holster so this was 100% a case where the force was justified. He intended to shoot…

Excess violence?? You kidding me?? The guy tried to pull a gun on a bunch of police officers.

It allows rich people to feel separate from regular plebs?  Iunno. 

And this is with EVs making up about 3-5% of vehicle sales? The US is not ready for EVs at all.

Biden, Trump, Bush, all about 20 years too old to run a country.

yes, you can’t put you hands on someone and act like that is legal defense because they used a slur. What the fuck is wrong with people? Unless this old dude had a weapon, this was wrong.

He punched a 77-year-old man, the man fell down, hit his head, and died as a result. This is textbook manslaughter per Florida statutes: regardless of whether there was a specific intent to kill, it is reasonably foreseeable that punching an old man in face could lead to their death; the fact that the kid was almost…

I’m all in for reciprocation and all, however punching a 77 year old man is never going to end well, and also unbelievably cruel.

So I guess you are the one that decides none of the blue collar workers / trades people making boats, expensive cars, planes should have jobs anymore because you think no one should be able to afford these things? Nice of you. Would love to hear your economic plan. 

I mean you can make fun of the guy for having a “toy” like this but you know what? This project has employed hundreds of people in the hard hit marine sector and will continue to employee lots of people for the substantial on-going maintenance that will be required. Captains, engineers, all the other crew, the ports…

“Pokémon is the highest-grossing entertainment media franchise of all time.”

I don’t think you’d see Microsoft or Sony loving the idea of a fanmade game, where Master Chief or Crash Bandicoot was shot and killed, do you?

It’s weird to me that a gaming website is constantly surprised at the existence of copyright law, and doesn’t seem to quite grasp that the law does not require that you make money off the infringement for it to be illegal.

Exactly. this case comes down to who knew what and when. If the little girl is in the hospital there’s nothing the cops need to do immediately to save her. If the mom drove the girl to the hospital because nobody was showing up then we have a problem. Regardless, interesting how The Root and it’s readers seem to ONLY…

I’m sure the PR value they’ll get from this is far above what the car cost them.
