Stock price aside, if you report profit, you should pay taxes. Period. Especially 7.2 BILLION with a B in profit. Not revenue... PROFIT. If they claim that $7.35B in profit came from overseas, wonderful. But you can’t repatriate that money without paying taxes. Did they pay taxes in the territories that they claim…

It’s a bad sign when the writer can’t make it through the headline without giving away the fact they don’t understand the subject they’re writing about.

1. “Federal taxes” =/= solely income tax. Where’s your payroll tax analysis?

I mean... it certainly takes a level of stupid to believe in any of that stuff, but in my experience, most of the time they’re reasonable, friendly people who haven’t heard a decent counterargument against any of it. They usually have legitimate grievances, but they’re kind of like cave men trying to understand…

Just find a way to make a current Honda more like this one.

I’d be excited to buy a version of the Blazer that came with 2 doors, a V8, R/4WD, and a removable roof.

And, the technician weighs in on the German hot rod!

There’s several things to be scared of on an Mercedes of this vintage. They are both equally wallet-busting, so in no particular order.....

The interview about “how hard it was to leave Detroit for LA” was hilarious.

That van driver probably doesn’t have a license (or insurance) in the first place.

“and matter of fact, the guy even tried to cut me off two or three times, and I didn’t want to confront it. So I backed off,”

I now want a Maverick Raptor. Raptor everything. 

I just want the Raptor Ranger! 

I counter with Land Cruiser Prado. All the capability, but slightly more compact for navigating tight trails or cities. Plus the efficiency of the little 2.8 diesel.

Next question?

Land Cruiser

Get an Avalon hybrid and get your plywood delivered. Everything else should fit.

Can make the point about common good without being so dismissive of genuine distress.

We had a similar situation in Kansas City a few years ago, when we built our streetcar line right down the middle of a busy downtown street lines with high profile shop and restaurants. In the short term it was not much fun for businesses that were impacted, but in the long run it’s been a huge boon — the streetcar…

I fail to see a problem with this. It has bumpers where it’s going to run into stuff.
