Here’s the plan, illustrious board of directors made up of washed up daddy’s money has-beens: We have bots scrape stories from around the internet and cram more ads on each page! It’s BRILLIANT! Bots don’t need this concept of CULTURE in a workplace! Moar profits!

Will the last blogger out the door turn off the lights?

Are we sure Nissan will still be around in 3 years?

Didn’t Pete pass on signing Kaepernick a few years ago?

What I’m saying though is a car manufacturer is going to be less good at everything related to that than a tech company

The problem is most people are just stupid or adequate at best. Also when your making 8 figures a year your not really looking to risk it all on bold moves your buying your ass as much time with good enough.

Sounds like typical CEO garbage-talk of jumping on the most current bandwagon (“circular economy” anyone?), but really not having the innovative will to do anything serious about it. They tried very crappily with their own app system, example SmartDeviceLink, or Applink, but customers have decided that they want Apple …

First Gear (because I have a short attention span this morning):

Towing capacity still seems to be a little fuzzy. If you go to the following link: https://www.ford.com/suvs/bronco/2021/models/bronco-base/

1) 2016 Sonata. Yes it still has depreciating to do. That is the tradeoff for convenience and hopefully reliability.

Yeah, just as with all anti-abortion activists, he was saying that we need to examine the role of underfunded schools in areas with lower income, which, as a result of practices like redlining and racial laws, are predominantly Black, and how lack of education (both lower and higher) and its role in economic…

Near-1000 pound bikes are understandably intimidating for new riders.

Cold setting has a proper name: plastic deformation You are stressing the material past its yield point so that when it relaxes it takes a permanent deformation. this will work much better on a steel frame than an aluminum one.

I’m 100% with you. The irony here is that many of these same dealers and states who are getting screwed by needing a “wet signature” and struggling to sell cars in this environment are the exact organizations/states who fought Tesla’s dealer/distribution model tooth and nail. To them I say: Adapt or die. Fighting…

Of course 7 year loans are here to stay.

I don’t wish bad things for a single worker or anyone dependent on them, but it’s hard to watch all these companies that work only for the next quarter’s profit, and don’t care one whit for the long term impacts of their behavior, panic at not making money for 2 weeks, and to not experience a little bit of…

I would be interested to know what GM executives actually believe about their cars.  From all the marketing of course they seem to think they’re incredible - both reliable and a great value.  But I wonder if the brass actually believe that, or they’re just saying what they think they need to say to sell cars.  It…

I understand your shrinkage perspective. But the markets they are pulling out of would likely take such a large investment short term to see positive growth and profit that if a downturn happens that growth never ends up happening at all and is billions down the drain. Where as it could be a relatively negligible…

Kohl’s FTW.  I’m seriously cheap.  I’m a lawyer, and almost all of my ties come from Goodwill.

I’m wearing some jeans with a little stretch right now. $30 at Kohl’s, if I remember correctly. No, they do not keep me dry. Yes, they are comfortable and way more comfortable than all-cotton denim when I’m riding my bike.
