“The tenets of capitalism keep wages low, but raise prices as high as they will go for max profit.”

This is not capitalism, *facepalm*.

No one is “killing” an industry, the industry isn’t adapting the it’s new (well not current) consumer in many cases. They’re killing themselves by not being forward thinking while keepin…

As I age, the shift of everything to a “you don’t actually own it, it’s a SUBSCRIPTION you pay forever” is turning out to be the first thing to make me full-on old man yells at clouds angry whenever it comes up in conversation. I guess it had to be something eventually, but it has been a surprise.

The new systems literally will NOT recognize components, unless a John Deere Representative comes out and runs their recognition USB key to unlock the tractor.

This would be like if you needed to change the brakes on your car and could only go to the dealership, because the moment you removed the wheel, the engine…

You can see this actually happen when MLB teams offer tickets at a major discount and the season ticket holders grouse that it devalues their seat.

I agree this has everything to do with China. Why isn’t the author answering the main question: With Russia openly defying the treaty why would the US stay in it? On what planet would it make sense to “honor” an agreement that both hurts you and no one else is honoring? 

Correct. In a world where the standard rule is “every empty seat is a free for all after takeoff” there will be melee near first class as people try to nab the empty seats, especially on long-haul flights, resulting in fights and inevitable delays/diversions (beacuse you know we can’t have nice things).

Fewer people will pay for the higher class, or use miles/cash to request an upgrade, if they know there’s a chance they could get it for free. That appears to be the airlines’ rationale.

So Russia cheats, and likely hasn’t honored it for years, and we respond with a missile test, and you say we are all worse off for it because we show our strength?

Sure, makes sense. Putin will definitely respond with fear when we send him a strongly worded letter indicating he needs to stop cheating.

The only reason…

One could make a pretty good case that Russia—a country that assassinates dissidents abroad, backs regimes that use chemical weapons against civilians, and intentionally bombs hospitals, is the bad actor here. One could also make the case that Russia needs to be punished for violating the treaty, and the U.S. is…

Not hard at all.  It's called Uber.

My family owns 3 BMWs. All three turn signal stalks operate differently. 

The greatest bumper cut of all time is the Golf Mk4 *FIVE-DOOR*, because it so perfectly mirrors the cut of the rear doors, creating . On the 3-door as shown it just sits there looking overstyled.

That’s the best place to park a car, according to meth.

Until you miss that vessel and have to deal with being rescheduled. Then you long for the Golden Age of Sail. Scurvy and all.

To put it another way: I was on my way to sit in a vessel that defies gravity when I noticed the store employee was sending messages to the other side of the planet at the speed of light. What a time to be alive.
