If the cruise line industry were to shut down, people would still be going on vacation and spending their money.... so the net impact on the U.S. economy might be neutral. This is kind of like saying Walmart adds jobs when they come to a small town.... not really at all since the locals were already buying their…

The airlines are not remotely as bad as the cruise ships. It's not even comparable really especially when you take pollution and all the shady maritime law shit into account. Fuck the cruise industry. 

Build ships in non-US shipyards? Fuck you!

Thank you for the explainer on the shady cruise industry. I am going to miss your snark and jalop knowledge. Business Outsider doesn't deserve you.

I disagree. The rendering looks like a mustang rear end hastily photoshopped onto a c8 with the windscreen pushed back. The C7 looks much better than that render.  That said, I adore the C8 body. 

Same here, but replace SUV with minivan and shave 10k off the price.

Hyundai Elantra GT sitting out here wondering why you’re forgetting about it.

This thing is $29,000 as tested. You can get a GTI for that price that would run circles around it.

This is the busiest “slice” of a car I’ve ever seen. Even after a few years, these things get my attention for all the wrong reasons. It’s simultaneously basic/homely and annoyingly offensive, which is hard to do. Like the car version of Pauly Shore.

That’s a tank of gas and 2 Americans

If these numbers are to be believed, the HR-V is over 1000lbs lighter.

Then you should also recognize the Blazer, which is styled basically like a Camaro crossover.

A lot of the people in the market for $60k+ sports cars are “investor class” people, and they are quite bothered at present.

I think you are underestimating who all is going to feel the pain from this, and a middle to upper middle class guy who just saw his 401k drop by 30% in two weeks and is now worried about his job security as his workplace shuts down may no longer be in the market for a $70k toy that he put a deposit on 6 months ago.

Everyone knew the average transaction price of these was always going to be closer to $80k than $60k.

Exponential growth rates mean that every citizen will be infected after a few months if people dont lock down. This this is much easier to spread than other viruses, and its kill rate in older people is quite high.

Just be sure to check in with your own comments in a month.

The irritation though is that this isn’t really “unprecedented”.

Airport workers just aren’t showing up for their shifts. And probably rightly so, since the higher ups are just fucking morons. There is incompetence everywhere and this virus is exposing it all. Employees coming in contact with possibly sick passengers without protective gear?

Nasty. Nasty, nasty question. You’re a nasty person asking nasty questions. Remember when I fixed the economy and made Apple move iPhone manufacturing to America? I’ve also put Mike Pence in charge of keeping us all safe. Overall I’m doing fantastic with macarenavirus. Kristen Lee, she’s just not nice.
