The fools don’t realize that OPEC can just cut production and let prices stay where they are. And US oil companies aren’t going to spend billions to build new capacity or cut prices assume sort of gift to consumers. Methinks Mr. Orange and his supporters don’t really understand how the world economy works.

Cost of domestic production may actually be higher than the tariffs anyway.

They’ll just say we need to drill more without understanding the details of oil producing and refinement as well as the macro economics of the oil industry.

Even the minister who said the prayer at the inauguration has launched a crypto coin, $LORENZO. The money changers really have taken over the temple.

Remember when the price of a 2x4 hit close to $10 during the pandemic? Different reasons now, but get ready for that to be the new normal.

The thing about price increases and corporations is that when prices go up, they rarely(if ever) go down. By the time ‘US manufacturing catches up’, us Americans are so used to the higher price that the corporations will just leave them high and continue to rake in profits. Tariffs are terrible for everyone except…

Get a load of this putz.

Interesting that in no way did I mention death. But given that I mentioned them- meaning whoever trump appoints to do his bullshit- would come for your family first- then you I guess made the next logical conclusion: That trump is exactly what I suggested. Maybe you should think more.

Glad you can absorb further increases in costs.  Not all of us can.  A decent amount of us non-supporters are going to be collateral damage.

The US is the largest consumer country in the world. Any tariffs, either set by the US or another country, negatively affects the US a lot more than the other country.

The grift in this administration is going to be mind-blowing. He and the first Mattress Pad have already launched their crypto currencies, and that, I’m sure, is just the beginning. Truly a sad new era for America.

I went NP because I think this is within negotiating distance. It appears to be in good condition, but I’d like to see under those seat covers.

I wouldn’t normally consider a 30 year old vehicle as a valid daily driver, but you actually could with this.  $6k and you’d have a vehicle that can easily go another 100k miles with normal maintenance.  The absence of AWD isn’t a big deal - throw some winter tires on it, and it’ll drive in all 4 seasons without…

Nineties cars were the best, they had figured out electronic engine management and so under good wasn’t a maze of vacuum hoses and electromechanical valves and such, airbags, ABS, reliable, generally not as bloated as modern cars.

As I said in response to the original announcement, I’m not bothered by Acura reusing the RSX name; which as you pointed out only ever existed in the U.S. anyway. What worries me is that sloping roofline cutting into rear passenger headroom and cargo room. I don’t even blame the automakers for this trend, because they…

When it comes back in one piece and they strip it down to study it. See the Orion spacecraft that returned from the moon.

So Starship has exploded more than it’s landed. Glad we cleared that up.

I believe the phrase used by some actual genius at SpaceX was “rapid unscheduled disassembly” which is the kind of snarky shit that makes me laugh.

I just hope that whenever SpaceX’s carelessness and the incoming administration’s disregard for safety regulations eventually results in an accident that cost people their lives, Elon is on the rocket.

So when does scheduled disassembly happen?
