I live here. And I work at the Convention Center sometimes. Let me tell you, The Loop is *nothing* like public transportation. It only operates when there is a convention in progress, not in between. Since I mostly do setups and teardowns, I have *never* had the opportunity to take this. It’s not transportation, it’s…

Agreed. If folks haven’t already done so, it’s worth adding ProPublica.org to your news bookmarks. Their longform reporting is beyond excellent.

And that’s supposed to be a bad thing?

A tight tunnel, with EV cars that have a tendency to catch fire... 

May the entire crop of billionaires and 47's sycophants be in it when it collapses. Then seal it with concrete. Just in case. 

ProPublica has been knocking it out of the park lately.  This story, the car tows in Connecticut, the mole that infiltrated a few militias.  Really excellent reporting that needs to be more common in America, especially over the next four years.

Musk, Trump, Thiel, et al. are megalomaniacal psychopaths. James Bond would be sent to kill every one of them.

Yup, here it comes... graft, kickbacks, shoddy work and labor practices that are cruel and unfair to workers. Send those non-union coal miners back underground for 10 hour shifts with no breaks, overtime or safety gear... fine by me; that’s what they voted for.

To be fair, they use any vehicle, even U-hauls

Perhaps, but look how cops abuse civil forfeiture and how impossible it is to get back your money and stuff even when it is 100% clear you came by it honestly.

“empowers law enforcement to impound cars used in street racing, even if the vehicle in question is found later away from the sideshow.”

Went for a Volvo test drive this weekend and the rep, no lie, took us to a strip club to demonstrate the auto braking / parking features because the parking lot was (mostly) empty and has soft bushes around it that he used to simulate parked cars.

Rivian’s new advertising slogan: “Our trucks don’t snitch!”

Generally, parking in front of a brothel doesn’t mean someone actually went inside the brothel. Unless it’s a ranch out in the middle of nowhere in Nevada, in which case yeah, there’s only one reason someone would be in that parking lot: they are preaching to the heathens trying to save their soul by making them come…

Not the VW scandal I was expecting!

So what brothel visits were exposed? Hypothetical ones?

This is going to be the way of the world from now on. We’re going to have to take into account an automakers data security when deciding which make of car we want to purchase.

I was witnessing to them... honest... trying to talk them out of the life of sin they lead and into the arms of Jesus. And yes, sometimes that takes all night.

No, the dicks in the Republican party did that.

That statistic... Doesn’t do as much to further your point as you might think.
