My nuanced take: Ferrari is overstepping their bounds but I, also, would not want to be associated with those nasty-ass shoes.

There’s only one way manufacturers are going to build more cars in the US, and that’s when consumers make a concerted effort to purchase US-made cars; You can’t have it six ways from Sunday (I’m definitely looking at you, Trumpers and Bernie supporters who have their stickers all over your foreign cars).

Nissan is the Japanese version of Dodge.

The commenters here who think a parent who has had their child die tragically somehow needs to be held more accountable baffle me. I can think of no worse thing than losing my child. People have no empathy anymore.

Having your child die a gruesome death from a horrible mistake seems like punishment enough.

The problem is that a warning the triggers *everytime* will soon just become background noise.

I think the better question is: does there always have to be someone to blame? 

Given my job, it’s not hard to guess where I stand. I think this is a clear-cut case of the world wanting to hold somebody responsible for a tragedy, whether it’s just or not. What punishment could be worse for this man than what has happened? This is not an intentional act. This is a horrible tragedy, and while

I honestly used to roll my eyes and blame “bad parents”

Completely agree with you. While I never forgot my kid in the car, I had nightmares constantly that I would. Also, my at-the-time BFF and I went to lunch one day from her home, completely forgetting that her one-year-old son was snoozing in his crib. We realized right when we were being seated what we had done and

I remember one morning with my youngest I was so damn tired. Just exhausted. He was about 6 months old. Maybe a little older? I was on autopilot and I was just driving to work. I was about a block away from the office and he made a cooing noise - a gurgle or something - after having been super quiet the whole way to

This, I believe, is every parent’s secret nightmare.

I think that WaPo article should be required reading for everyone.

But while the piece examines the economic needs of low-wage employees on one side and small-business owners on the other, an elephant in the room goes largely unremarked on: the tech companies whose high-paid workers drive up the cost of living in cities like Emeryville, Seattle, Austin, not to mention the towns in

“Wow, amazing. NONE of the Citroen trucks lasted more than 3,000 miles and they all failed catastrophically! Congrats on the sabotage.”

They are the reason that we have no industry in America. The unions that have promised to keep workers from losing their jobs have left most of the American interior in shambles.

The UAW kind of sucks, but it is still a union, and therefore inherently good.”

Rule #0: Please don’t get sweaty before a flight unless you’ve bought the whole row of seats.

Fact: Soda takes years off your life.

Jesus christ we are so insanely germ phobic. Millions (yes, millions, about 6 million in fact) of people fly every day. What percentage of those have ice? Even if it’s 10%, that’s 600k a day, or 219,000,000 a year. How many of those people are getting seriously ill from airplane ice? If it was more than a handful,
