This is a strange argument to make.

Touche :)

I think AOC is young and she’s made mistakes. The resolution for the Green New Deal was great, but the outline was a disaster - which is why she took it down. But I think AOC is unapologetically for beliefs that many younger (sub 40) voters have, and I think the Democratic Party deeesssperately needs that.

Yeah. Fair enough.

I want about 200 more of her and AOC in the House. 30 in the Senate.

Racism has a pretty broad definition, and it’s an entire spectrum of behavior. Pelosi isn’t wearing a white hood or spouting off anti-muslim rhetoric, but she’s definitely fronting an establishment attacking someone in a relatively weak position who happens to be a minority - female - Muslim.

So the actual resolution that went to congress was fairly tame. There was an outline that included some of the stuff that some people got all bent about, but it’s not clear if it was actually written by AOC or people around her. It seems like they posted it at some point, then realized it said some really crazy things…

That dumb argument goes both ways. Canadians also buy GM products.

Can I just say though, Wade Phillips did a hell of a job.

I’d go ahead and put money on everyone taking a big shit. Cheap money financing is gone, loan terms are longer and longer, real wage growth is flat, and transaction prices keep rising.

I don’t know about today’s cars. But as a car enthusiast, my 3rd Gen 4Runner is going on 180k miles with pretty much only standard maintenance. The only thing I’ve had to do that was a medium pain in the ass, was remove the starter through the goddamn wheel well, and spend 12 dollars and a morning of my time…

Came here to say part of this. Likely the buyer realized they spent more than they wanted and is looking for a way out. 

Corey Booker is quoting MLK and has big black and white picture as his banner that is evoking that MLK image pretty hard. Honestly he seems about as trustworthy as a Clinton. 

Let’s be serious. Sea shanties in Ancient Greece were probably about bread, wine, and fucking. Alcaeus was a little highbrow for a sailor.

15-20% win margin differential is pretty huge - even if you control for frequency and other things. I don't think this shows parity at all....

“The dealership, responsible for the actions of its employees, needs to feel pain for this. The consequences need to be harsh enough that the dealership actually puts in serious effort to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

No one is calling for “sweeping and draconian legislation” but pretty much any recourse for the customer beyond them going out and making videos and posting on Facebook pages and trying to make noise about it and hope it gets picked up seems like a pretty low bar to beat.

Well - that’s not true. Punitive damages are meant to deter. On the one hand, legally, punitive damages should match the damage, on the other, punitive damages are usually assigned when the damage is really hard to quantify.

Here’s the thing. Punitive damages are just that. Punitive. They are meant to hurt like a motherfucker. And although I wouldn’t be the first to call out a full MSRP replacement - if they took the old car in trade - this wouldn’t break anyone.

Gotta say - I like the first blue a bit.
