Trust is definitely the key issue. Imagine getting caught holding the bag with $2500 worth of crap you didn’t even want in the first place.

Oh, I don’t disagree with that at all. I have sam’s club, because it’s 10 miles closer to my house and I don’t even want to spend the extra time to get there. One other thing with it is just having space, though. Buying everything in bulk means you need a place to put it.

But profits. Sure, I mean, it’s bad for the global economy and whatever, but what about next quarter? THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

Poorer people generally don’t pay memberships to club stores. At least around here, in the Denver suburbs, you’re far more likely to see a Range Rover in the parking lot than a Kia, much less an older one.

I hate myself for saying this, but.... he’s not wrong.

Why would he shut up? People keep paying him to talk. If I was getting paid to talk, I’d say whatever they want me to say, too.

He occupies such a strange place in American culture. Since he came around and got some sense after committing some war crimes and went to bat (slightly) for Obama, Clinton, and Biden, he has ZERO credibility for Republicans. He’s a traitor and god knows what else. So they’re happy he died.

Excellent reference. The line right before it is a massive shit on the cops, though. The cops seemed to have enough evidence, GM is the one that couldn’t.

Kinja fucked my pictures, but hopefully someone can see them.

In my current pipe dream, everyone with any beef with anyone else seizes this opportunity to take a weekend off. Then, on the same weekend that all the cops get sent home in Chicago, there are no shootings, no murders, and no crime, just for 2 days. Then, for the next forever, any time any goddamn asshole says WHAT…

Maybe I’m just wrong and out of touch here, but $70k isn’t even that much. I mean, sure it’s good for certain places, but when I see someone say “a worker CAN MAKE UP TO 70k”, it seems like a pretty shitty place to be.

Yep, I can’t see beyond the WaPo article at what that reporter is reporting off of, but I’m willing to bet a good bit that it’s a misunderstanding of that language. I’m sure someone at Deere legal didn’t let something slip through like that, but a reporter sees “compensation” and writes “wages”, which are ENTIRELY…

Realistically, by the time is comes out, the lease on your lightning will be over, and you’ll be looking for something new.

You may be missing the point. In this case, the union is better because everyone with experience is part of the union. They aren’t inherently better at building things, sure, but people with experience building things are generally better at building things than people who don’t have experience.

“There are no children’s books that show the ‘opposing perspective’ of the Holocaust or the ‘opposing perspective’ of slavery.”

And park outside.

Was your tire light on always? I seem to remember every rental or friend’s Nissan of that era always had the tire light on, and no one ever cared, because that’s just how it was.

Granted, I’ve never lived in NJ, but my brother-in-law lives in NE CT, at the top of a hill, and he drives a 2007 Acura FWD. It seems to snow there a decent bit, but with winter tires, he hasn’t needed to replace the car. Yeah, it’s an extra $1000 for some new winter rims and tires (that’s the way I do it here in…

No joke here. In my town, just a couple weeks ago, a guy 1 year older than me (preschool aged kids) died on a street that I’ve ridden on. Someone “test driving” a Raptor hit him, dead on the scene. It’s a section of road with no bike lane that connects a bike path with a bike lane road. It’s fucking terrifying. It’s…

Nah, in Texas, they’re cousin-fuckers. You get a little bit of depth in the pool there. Not that they were looking for depth, it’s just the way it worked out.
