Yup. Same at Universities.

You forgot that the 10 layers of admins, lawyers, and executives in between the actual hospital costs and the insurance company which also demands another fat profit margin on top of their admins and lawyers.

There’s definitely going to be a ton of confused parents and disappointed kids this Christmas.

You think this is limited to GOP? You haven’t been paying attention.

Oh, get out of here with this bullshit. Show me a major political movement that hasn’t done this repeatedly for the last - since recorded history. The party you happen to currently disapprove of most doesn’t have a monopoly on it.

I would never choose any overpopulated cockroach nest, ever.

Well, imagine a city where people don’t sit in traffic but they can’t even get to cars or roads at all? They have to either just live a pretty medieval life in that medieval town, or then in a larger overpopulated hellholes they go down into these sewers they call ‘Subways’ and pack into huge traffic jams of people…

which points out that while living in a more compact space is obviously better for the environment and quality of life

Then you have the type of driver I like to call the Slave to Gravity (that’s a cool band name).

Linguistics nerd here. I thought it was for cis men interested in anal sex with cis women. If an all-encompassing term was used, it can no longer be reliably used to describe this specific thing. ‘Pegging’ isn’t just focused on the act itself, but which gender performing the act and who it’s being performed upon. Cis…

Power density.

The point I was trying to make, perhaps unsuccessfully, was that those drawbacks would have been considered “quirks” that made it “awesome” if it was a vehicle only available overseas. For instance David Tracy’s recent purchase.

A big anxiety of EV’s are “road trips” and the concept of freedom that comes with the ability to just get away for a long weekend (or even just a day). Even if 95% of their driving time is just short range commuting, that 5% may be very important to them.

Apologies in advance for the novel length reply...
We’ve been with a “Health Cost Sharing” (HCS) program for over 5 years, have used it a few times, have had no issues at all.

In a nutshell, the HCS members all pay into the HCS. Those funds are used to cover member’s covered medical expenses to “share the costs”.

For…

OK, Cup race is over. I never again want to hear how NASCAR drivers suck at going both left and right. The Cup guys had never raced stock cars on the Daytona Road Course. They had no practice. They had no experience with this particular layout of Daytona.

That’s not a test of efficiency, it’s a test of accuracy relative to EPA testing regime.

It’s that Alibaba is peddling stuff that is a rip-off of some other company’s R&D for less, not that they are ripping you off as a customer. To be honest, though, Ebay and Amazon do the same thing; it’s actually work now to find what I want on Amazon through all the damn sponsored knock-offs, so now the site is no…

2016 Cadillac ELR. They already look like a spaceship on the inside and out. Plus they’re so rare, you’ll rarely see another. They are also a plug-in hybrid that gets great gas mileage and uses commonplace Chevy Volt parts, if it needs repaired. While it looks futuristic, the running gear is pretty common and well…

They are all going to move in this direction.

I hope Cadillac’s ambitions for its electric program are modest. Tesla sold about as many cars globally last year as the Chevy Equinox sold in the U.S. alone.
