This is actually a great idea; companies that want to control their own destinies and not be nationalized will continue to support a competitive marketplace and not just M&A every competitor til they are the last one standing with a subpar product; it also would avoid the “breaking” of companies like with AT&T and…

I love Abigail and every video she has made on Philosophy Tube is worth bingeing. Full stop.

Hey yo! {shots fired}

Its important to remember that Carlos Ghosn had to be smuggled out of Japan in a music instrument case for 91 million in total undeclared compensation*, which is 0.1625% of this amount.

*(and for secretly probably maybe trying to organize a merger of Nissan/Renault with FCA, which the Japanese government did not want…

I don’t think these players view tires being replaced as an expense compared to normal people.

“An Altima is 191, Camry and Kia K5 is 192, Sonata is 193, a Malibu is 194" ...How can this be considered little when it’s the size of a midsize sedan?”

Umm...

Buying a car for the 1% of specific use cases that you could just rent a vehicle for once a year is not a reason that will stop people buying this car. For a commuter who is paying 300+ in gas a month, young singles or married couple without kids, retirees, etc. this is everything they need.

“It’s always going to be the best product that wins.”

Yes, but will it try to cut off your fingers or other appendages?

As a vote of 1, intentionally building in inefficiency seems odd to me; I was all for the idea of a “Manual” EV at first but now even things like paddle shifters seem silly. Unless the motiv units require it, I would rather the focus be on lightweight tossability and feedback (which many of the EVs are lacking right…

Is this the BDSM version of dragoning?

That is the part that concerns me - the headline saying “Americans down with buying a slave-labor built car” feels like the right kind of sensationalism I want from Jalop, but instead I got pandering? Its weird.

The internet and the stress induced by the incessant crush of every expanding wealth inequality are making it real tough for even like, normal people to just be normal.

Literally correct. The best kind.

Though maybe I was mentally counting Alito being invited on all the rides and giving his vote just because Clarence throws him a dead mouse every once in a while.

There is a difference between buying a Congress critter and buying 1/7th of a whole branch of government of the most powerful nation on earth with a fucking R/V.
