Is a stripper a sex worker or a dance performance artist? Seems more the sex worker than artist, but that may just be my take. The difference, should you ask her, depends on to whom she answers that question. To you, the guy waiving dollar bills, she would be a sex worker, but to a judge, she would swear she is an…

Funny thing, as much as I dislike it, the CyberTruck has a better chance than the F-150 Lightning. And for the simple reason: the Tesla one appeals to Tesla fans, many who do not now own a pickup. The Lightning F-150 is designed to sell to pickup truck owners. And those folks, at least on the consumer side, are the…

I love your lack of nuance, subtlety, and complete lack of any self-responsibility on the part of women. Did those women get forced to shop at VS? Or did they willingly chose to shop there? It’s like how I look at the Catholic Church. They knew that priests were molesting kids for years, as did the parishioners, but…

Well, when it seems to be state supported activity under the guise of criminals, it would not be such a stretch to consider it.

Yes, should have used “gratification” instead.

You are not incorrect on some points, but the point I was making, and hope is understood, is that the items purchased there were worn by women. And the company was doing quite well selling lingerie, as regular bras and underwear was never their goal, no more than a Hermes scarf is for normal winter outings.

The thing that was smart about Madoff was that he did it to rich people, exactly because they rarely wanted their money back immediately. If you do that to middle class people, people who might need that account liquidated to pay for an emergency, or worse, poorer folks like widow or retirees who could least afford to…

Perhaps Victoria’s Secret was not expressly for women, but other than a few transvestites, how many men wore their apparel? And how long would they have lasted as a company had women not willingly worn their (apparently crappy, ill-fitting, and overpriced) garments? Maybe they failed because there were cheaper, better…

You might as well invest in Elio as many of the others.

Exactly. If you crave the approval of a Badge Whore of all your purchases, you have other issues to deal with.

“whose stated purpose was to shill young girls to other white men”

Yes, it is hard trying to reconcile being an automotive enthusiast and being somewhat socially responsible. And this vehicle is not the answer to that idea. i will go out on a limb and just say that the Hummer is an EV more for the novelty than for anything else. It certainly is not green, and it certainly could have…

It really kind of tests the theory of Gene Roddenberry via the Star Trek franchises. What happens in a post labor force world? What happens when there is technology that does the work, and people are free to do what they want to do? What happens to the former labor force when there is no longer the need for their…

Oddly, the war on illegal drugs helped fuel this fire. Heroin had been the drug of choice, a really potent opioid, and very, very illegal. But relatively cheap. So a lot of people got hooked on it. And then, the government cracked down on the heroin trade, as the Mexican cartels on the border were getting really good…

Exactly. Add to all that the fact that Rivian seems to be developing itself as a manufacturing company, not a tech company, and it makes even more chance for them to be around long term.

I applaud Hyundai/Kia making the investment in US plants. It’s nice they are doing it here, not in Korea. I wonder if it is due to costs, or proximity to the market, or whatever that led to that decision. Regardless, I am always happy to see that opportunities for work will crop up on our shores. 

Damn, I love having a good conversation about a subject. Thank you!

Please, keep in mind that the victim in this horrible, horrible accident suffers from a very debilitating disease - assholism. A disease that affects many, both the victim and anyone suffering being around them. Have a bit of compassion. And help stamp out assholism before it kills or maims another victim.

Ha, that Dakota will likely be a rebadged Chinese pickup. The 2021 Peugeot Landtrek. Already on the market in other markets, just not here - yet. Coming soon to a CJDR dealer near you...

Not saying you are incorrect, but you are overlooking my point.
