I'm fine with both of those things.  Hard plastics are reliable and take lots abuse compared to fancy interior trims.  And thin body panels sound like a move back to lighter cars, also a good thing.

I get what you’re saying, but that just perpetuates the problem. Flatlining real wage growth is something you can only combat for so long with lowering prices or lifestyle cuts. You know we’ve reached a tipping point when the president of the US and billionaires are telling us we “might need to experience a little…

There’s plenty of “cheap” trims available from every manufacturer already. The problem is the dealers. Go to any lot anywhere, and there will be 70+ “Limited” or “Platinum” versions of a thing there, with zero base models. Until we get rid of commission based, markup heavy dealers and move to manufacturer direct-to-con…

Thankfully our government is worried about immigrants and trans people, so we can lose our shit to China in yet another technology race.

Just... pay people more?  Or we can keep begging for cheaper prices on goods while continuing to ignore the fact that adjusted wages have barely moved in 3+ decades.

Maxing all available credit cards instead of sending a bill is certainly a choice. 

Flu is same as influenza. And even a few days stay in a US hospital is not going to cost $47k!! That is way out of line.

Naming an airport after the guy that fired 11,000 air traffic controllers is peak republican.

You even quoted what you’re misunderstanding.  Headline is fine.

I hate everything about cruises but my kids see ads for them and beg to go.  Whenever I get the tiniest inkling of caving, I am surrounded with reminders that no, I will never go on a cruise.

It’s not like we needed another reason why cruises are fucking awful, but here it is anyway.

I cannot overstate this:

People worried about being the victims of hate crimes think the solution is to start Sieg Heiling each other in public? What in the actual fuck?

1. I pulled up a block from ASUC. A female student walking by talking on the phone said that a Cybertruck just ruined her day loudly, obviously wanting me to hear it.

The irony of the Fascism-Curious suddenly caring about hate crimes is delicious.

A) I do not believe a single instance of his experiences, much less in a single day.

So you bought one of the most ridiculous vehicles ever made to draw attention to yourself. Then, when it’s not the attention you want, you try and play the victim.

Yes to this, but also, Democrats need to stop playing this “we need to work across the aisle, take the high road” buddy buddy spineless bullshit they keep trying to do.  Trump is out here flinging executive orders around like a he’s making it rain at a strip club, and Democrats are just at home hiding in their…
