Shipping goods likely increases wear and tear on infrastructure, especially what with all the trucks driving into low overpasses. So it seems fair for shipping to pay its fair share.

I like the idea of a carbon tax with rebate. Collect the carbon taxes, then give back everyone a share of the total collected taxes based on equal division, not the amount paid in. That way, if you don’t use much carbon, you’ll probably get back more than you paid in. If you do use a lot of carbon, you’ll pay more…

Maybe the mine owner is a serial killer. Hitches a ride, kills the driver, drives the car into the mineshaft to hide it.

Right? Or “Can’t it wait until the parent-teacher conferences are over?”

Cougar:

I’m inclined to suspect the “boyfriend” prefers her in this state so that he can leech off her income.

And the people trying to “cure autism” by making the kid drink bleach and giving bleach enemas.

I wonder what kind of help Vivian Kubrick wants her to get with the money raised. Kubrick is a Scientologist, so probably wouldn’t support Duvall getting psychiatric help.

Given her age, I wonder if she’s not getting enough B12. If she needs it injected, given her mental state she might not trust that it’s really B12 being injected.

I didn’t. Others are speculating that the news station mixed up km/hr for miles/hr, putting an mph unit with a kph number making the speed look much higher. It seems odd to me that a km per hour figure would have been mentioned by anyone in Oklahoma. The police report would probably use mph, not km per hour, and…

But why would kilometers be used by anyone in Oklahoma?

Apparently the guy has never watched a daytime soap. They’re ALL ABOUT conflict, just not so much played for laughs.

This also appears to have been flying well offshore over Lake Ontario.

“If we’re talking consumer “drone” it’s made of plastic and a few bits of metal”

You aren’t very familiar with drones if you think they’re all tiny and plastic.

Drones are also made of aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, magnets, and (probably) coils of wire.
