“Barra seemed visibly uncomfortable after the question was asked on CNN,”

Did she? Seemed pretty straightforward and practiced of a response? Those figures she pulled out weren’t just off the top of her head.

The COC is a paid pretty well by GOP PAC money; that they are being used to take a swing at Biden is unsurprising. Its even funnier that as a whole the list of things the GOP can hit Biden over has basically devolved to “your kid sucks”, “you are old” and “why aren’t you getting involved in things we will take you to…

Considering it is spread over the life of the contract and barely covers the inflation over the past one, its just an OK ask. That the OEMs are already at 20% increase after basically only a week of real negotiating tells you that the 40% original request wasn’t too unreasonable.

The market will eat it up, customers will be fucked and the wheel of capitalism will roll on.

I like how he says it like the OEMs haven’t considered it before and then rejected it out of hand because of hundreds of reasons relating to logistics and expense.

These aren’t little plastic army men, they are incredibly complex machines.

Sorry, I was responding to your point that it would end her run; unless she chooses to quit or the Dems drop her from the ballot, her run will be completed on election day like anyone else.

Price should increase a bit but still needs to stay between Traverse and Tahoe; size is larger because that is the whole point of the article and the weight should be negligible overcurrent (trading a V6 for a turbo 4).

Post-Trump, the Overton window has moved a bit. Just need Dems to agree that it is not disqualifying considering GOPers wouldn’t care going the other way.

Reframing is nothing new - in Ohio they are doing an ad with someone saying that only 22% percent of Ohioans think that abortion is fine up until the point the baby is born, which means that there is room for 78% of Ohioans to have a discussion, but putting it in the Constitution means that Ohioans can’t have that…

I’ve had 4 different people in the greys try to “naw actually” when my point was that OP could just google it if they were interested. I doubt Marko was thinking about geographic vs. geopolitical vs. colonial views on the structure of the Americas.

“No, the other one is the good one.”

We know that he has problems with geography and communication, he has fluctuations in memory, he is Austrian and he is just not as able to not be a racist as most other advisors to the sport.

Its that hot Latin blood or something.

Too much conspiracy theories online are rotting peoples brains.

Yea that response was pretty standard and even Danny’s jokes are similar to most crass dude culture in comedy. This is all pre-Me Too and the self awareness just wasn’t there.

BMW just dropped theirs....how inevitable are we thinking here?

US viewership was low by comparison. For the newer fans in the US, competition is going to be big for longevity (and long term TV contracts).

To be fair, that was all that was left.

Nothing happened when they changed their pro-business, small government neo-liberal silliness into the populist pre-fascism they are doing now.
