That was my only takeaway - I am sure Canoo is being invoiced a few grand for refilling the onboard minibar with every needless flight, too.

Interesting how this Morning Shift has two separate stories about CEO potentially abusing their control over two separate companies for their own benefit.

The worst of that story is that it’s not even Canoo’s jet. They are reimbursing a company owned by the CEO that operates the jet, so there’s no telling if the CEO is just using his own company to bilk Canoo out of money for fake flights or massively inflated/made up costs. I would bet there’s zero oversight happening…

Part of the problem is how CNN (and other outlets) reported about these people.  They were all identified as nationals of other countries.  If they were legal immigrants they should have been identified as Americans.  CNN is definitely not MAGA, but their reporting makes them appear to all be undocumented illegal…

Good lord, grow up, you fucking infant. It’s a second tier bridge based on its capacity and traffic volumes and its overall role in the highway network in the region. Baltimore is a third tier city by any measure in terms of population, real estate market, sports, whatever the fuck you want to use.

Part of the toxicity of the MAGA crowd is the default assumption that anyone with a non-European surname must have questionable legal status, where there’s no evidence that any of the people in question have any less right to live and work in America than Melania and her parents.

And now you know why dealerships are panicking over EVs. All of that overpriced maintenance will soon be unnecessary.    

I hope the readers here take note of the surnames and ancestry of the road workers who lost their lives here. Almost a year ago to the day (March 23, 2023) 6 workers were killed on another part of the 695 beltway when a car crashed through a work zone, and most of those workers were also from central America,…

The conspiracy theories floating around that this was purposeful are wild. A ship purposely knocked down a second-tier bridge in a third-tier city at 1:30 at night by faking a power failure. The rot is real.

They care about Baltimore like they care about The Troops: only when it's convenient

I’m over here amused that the MAGA crowd is giving any shits about Baltimore in the first place.

the bridge was asking for it.

Gotta wait for the adjusters to hash it out. A nearby boat ramp witnessed the collision and the rumor is that bridge may not be at fault here.

A busy bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday morning following a collision with a cargo ship.

Teenagers at least have an excuse for being stupid. If you’re still stupid after your brain has stopped developing you’re beyond salvation. 

With more electric cars out there, kids are gonna get their hands on acceleration and speed. 

Your 180 HP was a massive 3X the power of my high school ride, a 1984 Tercel wagon! I remember I had to downshift to 4th to clear a moderate highway grade on my way home from school, maybe 3rd if I was bringing back some fellow 99-pound XC buddies :-) Thinking back to my 90's high school days, I am beyond thankful our…

If I ever pulled shit like this I might as well take myself to the electric chair

WTF do parents let their kids drive cars like that, The most powerful vehicle I drove when I was a teen was a stick shift corvette with my uncle in the passenger seat so I was supervised. When I was by myself driving it was a minivan and my 1st car was a mkiv jetta 1.8t 5spd. Whopping 180hp, enough to get in trouble…

Every dad ever.
