It’s weird to see the outrage (on this site) at your thought. This site is often full of left-leaning thinkers. The commenters are frequently okay with the government intervening to protect consumers. Here, you advocate for that, and the Jalop audience says, “No! This is the individual’s fault!” That’s a typical…

Despite the superficial irreverence, the Gawkerverse has a very strong authoritarian bent. These aren’t nice people.

“Property value” is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

No, the ACLU does not believe in a Constitutional right to gun ownership. They were opposed to the decision in Heller.

Porsche creates the circumstances that drive speculation by refusing to build to demand, then they attempt to manipulate the secondhand market. None of that is praiseworthy.

Belt extension looks par for the course:

“Product” is terrible. Particularly as a plural. “The goal is to move product.”

That’s okay, because they’re regulated and medallioned and bonded and taxed and have their 27 B stroke six form and their name written on the top of every page and the proper stamps and certificates and so on, which is the only thing people here give a damn about. They’re obsessed with procedure, not results.

and, likely, cause a brutal bowel assault on his admittedly innocent underpants.

Jalopnik goes full Church Lady PTA Busybody Hall Monitor whenever the subject turns to “speeding.”

Of course there are worse accidents. It would be worse to submarine under a semitrailer. I’m not saying that by passing this test a car can be said to be death-proof.

Traffic systems find their own equilibrium. People sitting in traffic today in the back of an Uber are doing it because their alternatives are worse.

Somebody get this guy a medal.

You keep making my point for me, “bro.” Your wish is that other people rearrange their lives to benefit you.

This is all semantics anyway. you’d have to be blind or high as fuck to not think that Uber and Lyft are contributing to traffic.

You can’t drive two private cars at once.

The problem is that they repeatedly botched the repair and won’t take responsibility. Even if it hadn’t been a warranty claim, they’d owe her a free repair at this point.

The dealer gets paid to do warranty work. It’s a profit center.

It’s never “period.” “Period” is a red flag that means there are actually a thousand exceptions to whatever the writer just said.

That Uber and Lyft cars are everywhere doesn’t mean they’re the cause of a net increase in traffic. Corporate buses are everywhere now, too, but the alternative was 30+ private cars.
