The C pillar and it’s connection to the trunk look a lot like a 911 to me. Not really anything wrong with that in my opinion. It suggests sportiness.

That’s a good point. I don’t know how to address it, though. We have a long history of distrusting the “government,” despite knowing the government is just our friends, family, and neighbors. This democracy thing isn’t really easy—it requires us to pay attention, to understand—and really most people, myself included,…

No, I’m assuming that the value of a thing is not determined solely by the price that people put on it. You, on the other hand, are assuming that we can only judge value according to economic principles. That is the dispute. Thus, my point is that, despite the fact that people spend money on this stupid shit, it is…

“Will the people who find some way to monetize this put that money to better use for society than these people?”

Blockchain Raw Meat. Want to reject civilization and get back to nature? Well, that Paleo diet isn’t good enough. Our ancestors, Homo Erectus, only learned to control fire 1.7 million years ago. That certainly isn’t enough time for evolution to permit us to properly digest cooked foods. Our natural meats are presented…

I endorse shame as a method of educating people.

Blockchain Raw Dogs. Raw Dogs are commonly called “wolves,” but, you must understand, that civilization and government have taken all the natural benefits of dog ownership out of dogs. It used to be if you wanted a dog, you merely went out into nature and got yourself a wolf. We’re bringing that back. Each one will be…

There is something about this review that I find off-putting. Not quite sure what. It is impressive that Tesla has managed to actually build a functional car. There have always been small manufacturers that try to make something new, but who never really manage to produce something viable. The thing is that Tesla has…

Dude, you know those stories you wrote about the old man in Michigan who is being forced to sell his cars by the town because it’s an illegal junkyard? This is how that happens.

Note that I didn’t include Chrysler in my post and see my follow up where I specifically stated that FCA products have problems.

Got me there.

I mean, almost any FCA vehicle.

Exactly. This wouldn’t be normal for any other manufacturer, not even GM and Ford these days.

I don’t think Uber will exist in its current form in 10 years. What I mean is it will likely be owned by different people and doing something at least a little different than operating a ride-hailing service. As we all know, Uber has no expertise necessary for operating self-driving cars. It cannot build cars. It does…

“Trump is “unorthodox” because he doesn’t know anything. Contrary to what some in the media would like to believe, there is no doctrine or approach, just whatever Trump feels like saying or doing at any given moment. Trump isn’t unpredictable or inward-looking, but rather completely clueless and unwilling to learn.”

Yeah, that’s my point. I don’t see the cool. Mercury Cougar? This is what a Cougar means to me:

I agree with that. The other part of it is that millenials, etc, just do not have the emotional connection to these cars. That is what is currently propping up their value—these were the cars that the boomers lusted after and drove when they were young. When I was young, the Fox body was a joke and Camaros were for…

Dude, the person on the listserv is saying that they are calling to report “suspicious activity” when they know that people are using bikes from a dockless bike share. They know that it’s not suspicious. They know what the people are doing. They are still reporting “suspicious activity.” It isn’t a stupid belief. It’s…

They don’t make ‘em like they used to . . . because people died in rollovers.

Also, historically, unions have often been used to protect workers that don’t necessarily have specialized skills. Low skilled workers often have less bargaining power with their employers because they can be easily replaced. A union contract protects their jobs and their wages.
