Speaking of unions, Boeing wants to build all their 787s at the non-union South Carolina plant, but the non-union workers are so much worse than the union ones that many airlines have refused delivery of planes built there. It’s almost like unions not only help workers get the wages and benefits they deserve, but also…

Some are quitting to stop working. At least for now. There’s less crap around to buy, many people have worked more hours for a good long while, savings rates are still at generational highs. Work sucks more than ever. Less childcare is available. Etc. For some percentage of people, it is 100% a legitimate choice to…

It has nothing to do with banks. It’s just trying to stop people who use apps like Venmo to get paid for their side gig avoiding income tax. You can still send $15k to anyone as a gift with almost no scrutiny, you just can’t accept more than $600 as payment for goods/services without needing a 1099. That’s always been…

There. Saved you over $100. 

There. Saved you over $100. 

this is really the story in most industries with staff shortages these days. So much of our economy relied on exploiting and underpaying people until they felt they had no time or resources to train for something better. Giving people time off and a helping hand allowed so much of the exploited class a chance to find…

It only favors union guys when they build it, unless I really don’t understand things. So either Ford moves the EV production to somewhere like the Ohio plant they promised would have it, or they get even less tax credits than Teslas, which get some credit for being US built. Also, I’d favor incentives to buy…

But what if the main goals are to encourage sparks leading toward a potential rebirth of a robust and sustainable middle class? Then you not only want the climate outcome, more EVs, but also the labor benefitting outcome, more money going to workers rather than asshole technocrats. This subsidy encourages Tesla, and…

But Hamilton didn’t get a 10 second penalty, he got a free repair period and ended up with 25 points for the day. 10 seconds was irrelevant to the red car rebuild period. Verstappen deserved a penalty for this move, but the ‘fair’ penalty would be 25 free points. 

Hamilton made his car a much more dangerous weapon at silverstone and was penalized with a free repair period and 25 points. The least he deserves was to get the same type of on tract treatment he’s been showing his rival. And the only fair penalty to give verstappen today is 25 free points like they did for Hamilton.

A free repair period and 25 points. I don’t argue the fault assigned in either incident, but the only fair ‘penalty’ to give verstappen today was 25 free points. 

You mean the free repair period and 25 points Hamilton got at silverstone? Verstappen was at fault here, Hamilton was at fault there, but verstappen wasn’t punished for both incidents and one of them was a huge gift to Hamilton. That’s all that frustrates me. The only fair ‘penalty’ for verstappen here was to give him…

Non union auto plants are shitty. Period. 

I can’t get myself to get rid of mine. Thought I’d keep it 6-18months, and three years in, I can’t think of any cooler car to replace it with for anywhere near the same price.

Batteries should last for well over 150k miles with no noteicanle degradation. These cars have a 16kwh battery but only use about 10kwh of it, so it has to degrade by over 35% before you’d notice, and so far there are many volts with multiple hundred thousand miles and full original range. So, you should be able to…

Don’t forget the always onstage rockband instead of an orchestra. No idea if that stayed in later versions, I only saw the show in previews one of the times it nearly killed one of the performers. 

Gasley was hot garbage at Red Bull. Maybe he’d be better now, but it takes a lot to trust a guy who melted under pressure. Perez is 100% the better choice for Red Bull for the foreseeable future.

Perez has been the best option Red Bull has had since Ricciardo, starting to think it’s as much a team issue as dricer one though. I’ve generally thought Perez has had a good year and has been a strong teammate more often than not. Screwing up the timing of your qualifying lap is at least partially a team call and…

Lewis was just pissed they didn’t find another way to gift him points for crashing his rival out, the rain seems like another perfect opportunity fort such an “accident.” Fuck him and Mercedes and F1 until they make the British GP torpedoing right. 

This is why I don’t understand star athletes taking huge contracts. If I were a superstar in a team sport, I’d work for free/minimum to allow the team to get the best supporting cast around me and still make more money than I could spend in a lifetime on a single commercial shoot. 

Milk consumption melts the polar ice caps by being a resource intensive and methane producing industry when compared to plant based foods. Assholes drinking baby cow food are directly affecting the icecaps.
