Buick 3800 V6. The unmistakable sound of GM for most of my growing up years. Also, how can we not love an engine that made the GNX? That turbo’d 3.8 is a legend.

Everyone wants in on the ground floor of the next Amazon, a company that famously burned cash and intentionally didn’t make a profit until it was large enough to lay waste to all but the largest competitors in multiple formerly unrelated industries.

Yes, it’s a ridiculous thing to suggest.

Police aren’t immoral. They are a necessary evil. Hobbes defined the state as that which holds a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence in a given area. The police is the primary way through which the state exerts violence on it’s people.

You know defunding police is just going to make it so that less qualified, less competent, less supervised people get into uniform, right?

Also, the Minnesota proposition is laughable. Does anyone here know how to do a seance? Trayvon Martin would like a word with them about “community-oriented public safety”.

The correct thing to do is stop requiring any front plates on cars. They are not required on Motorcycles.

Move to a state with no front plate.

You can’t be serious.  You are comparing the Chinese crackdown on protesters to what is happening now?  What an utter and complete lack of understanding.  You REALLY have to check your history before making idiotic comparisons like this.  As long as people THINK these are comparable events, we will NEVER make the

I’m genuinely curious to know what the actual correct protocol is if your car gets swarmed by violent protestors???

You do not live on this plane of existence. Please come to terms with real life, these are riots or people breaking curfew. If violence is not met with swift justice, lawlessness breaks loose and society collapses. In that situation you will lose your life and valuables while screaming for the police to come and save

I agree with your proposals but the connection between climate change and police brutality seems weak at best. It comes across as an attempt to use current events as an opportunity to write about your issue even though it's not really related.

I wish my I6 was a V8.  Just saying.  

There’s a difference between running over a bunch of people on a walking path minding their own business vs accelerating out of an angry mob that’s blocking the street and attacking you. Comparing these to ISIS is a bit of a false equivalency.

My friend, all global white collar FCA workers took a 20% pay deferral effective March 30th.

By the shareholders, do you mean everybody who has something other than just Social Security and coffee can of cash in the backyard for retirement? If you have a 401K, a 403B, a pension, or some types of IRAs, you better damn well hope companies are looking out for their shareholders.

I don't see they really had a choice.  I'm generally pro-union and owning up to your mistakes, but if they let this slide it will absolutely come back to bite them in the ass.

IANAL:

I understand your argument that it’s a small amount of money for the company. I think the problem might be that, if they pay them more than is obligated in the contract, it could invalidate the contract. If the contract isn’t enforced at this time, then when something really egregious happens, the UAW can say

Yeah but then the cars are always whining about it. 

A professional race driver cheated in a competition. Just because it was in a simulated environment as opposed to in real life doesn’t make it any less relevant.
