Protecting ethnic Russians from what exactly? The Ukrainians, who are just trying to exist?

Man, I’d have a real hard time not feeling like a total douche in a truck that screams RAPTOR on the side.

That theory was 100% percent correct when it came to WW2. But you don’t have to engage in war to do the same. WW2 just forced the U.S. into a period of sustained Keynesianism. The U.S. also profited handsomely from the fact that Europe was totally ruined. Point is, lots and lots of domestic spending would do wonders…

I’d prefer that Trump never talks to any other foreign leader because he makes us look like blithering fucking idiots every time he opens his mouth.

Might wanna forward this to Trump’s personal email account.

I love Rich Hill, but dude’s been paid about $10 million over his career to occasionally play baseball. He’s been paid much more than most of us ever will already.

Those Rams uniforms are awesome and you know it. Good lord, they’re MILES better than the dumb ass Panthers uni.

It was also a ripoff from the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when River Phoenix (RIP) as the young Indy looks down, then looks up and is adult Indy.

Perhaps there are other things in the world that have absolutely nothing to do with this article that you’d like to bring up here? Maybe you’d like to share what you had for breakfast?

Fair point. When we’re talking about America, feel free to bring that up. But right now, we’re talking about Russia and the Ukraine. So maybe let’s stick to that?

nah.

What the fuck is Russia’s problem?

Really? For $500k? Where do you live?

Well shit if Trump or anybody else spoke to me like that I’d feel like a million bucks.

Just taking this moment to brag that I learned to drive stick in an early ‘80s air-cooled 911. Somehow my grandparents each had one, but I swear to the lord god above we were not rich. Not sure how they managed that. Debt, probably.

yes but at least we’ll have our artisanal coffee and great beer and tastefully appointed apartments til the end.

Here’s a terrifying thought. Since we’re in the midst of a stupid person revolution, are ALL revolutions stupid people who are tired of being, um stupid, I guess, and reminded of their stupidity? So they lash out against intelligence? Like junior high school bullies, I mean.

yep, because automation is coming whether you like it or not.

Has minimum wage tracked the general economy? I’m wondering if biz owners— of a place like McDonald’s — today pay as much in labor costs as they did, say, 30 years ago.

Yes, that is true. But by the time I’m ready to buy new again I’m sure there will be new car direct-to-consumer sellers. Though having said that, my next new car will likely be a Tesla if they’re still around in 5 or so years.
