I never understood the concept of a brand that is ‘like Toyota only worse’ in the first place. Sort of the opposite of Lexus...

We are just new at this “civilization” stuff. We haven’t figured out how to educate children to the point where they can get a job or to care for the elderly yet. It all depends on your parents being wealthy enough to have a good start.

It always seems like I’m paying that much in hotel tax when I go to California. Oh yeah, and the extra rental car tax they add on near airports.

Every time you make more, just have it deducted for your 401k and you won’t notice since you are already used to living on less. Then when you are 70 or so you can consider retiring.

Do young people have some other plan to have that much fun in their lives?

So, have you not noticed tractor-trailer trucks?

If you want the guy to stop, why not (A) drive something that looks like a cop car and (B) hit the siren instead of running him down? Can’t see his face, but I’ll assume the biker is white since he made it into court.

Don’t think I know anyone who would have been involved in decisions to unsafely cheapen the product or to not recall and fix known problems.

Or, they could, you know..., just not be evil. But too late for that now.

If you have enough money that the interest in your savings account jumps you a tax bracket, good for you. But, you are still getting the same tax rate on everyone else on the first $37,650 and paying your fair share for the government that allows you to do better on the part over that. Remember that what the…

I don’t get it. If there aren’t enough of them to matter, why didn’t they just replace them in the first place.

The weird thing about Costco is that they change prices on stuff all the time without calling it a sale - and move things around. So you have to go through the entire liquor section every time you are there to find the bargains. Not that this is a bad thing...

If you have to decide after the fact, the answer is no. And certainly not something anyone else could have realized.

Wonder how it will work to pick you up at a busy airport like Ohare where there are people there who won’t let you park more than a few minutes.

Seems hard to believe that you never have to wait at those charging stations. How does that work?

Here’s the thing: if you go out for lunch it will probably cost $10. So, for your 250 working days x 30 years, that’s $75k less at retirement plus whatever you would have made investing it. And you’ll eat too much, compared to bringing a yogurt and apple to eat at your desk. And you may not enjoy being out by yourself…

Electric cars don’t sell because of 2 problems. One is that they are too small - people want suv-size vehicles, and sometimes even need them to haul stuff. The other is the range. A round trip to Milwaukee from Chicago is a pretty common thing and would be iffy or impossible in current electric models. So it’s going…

Yeah, but I bet they didn’t outsource all the manufacturing to other countries like they do now.

Was this adapter designed from the beginning or added as an afterthought after building wildly incompatible systems that couldn’t work together?

But somehow I bet you won’t...
