i mean, wrong.

The problem is not with the process, its with the fact that the union will fight for the employee even when they are clearly in the wrong in some situations.

As someone in a “right to fire” state, it’s not as big a deal as youd think. If you’re working for a company that will arbitrarily just fire you with no justification, you’re working for scumbags anyway. It gives smaller businesses more flexibility with their staffing, so if the economy takes a nose dive they have…

Market had been flat for the last 18 months, car sales are slumping, UAW strike.

At a time when manufacturers are dealing with excess inventory, isn’t a strike just like a voluntary furlough?

Honestly, if people are actually productive and UAW didn’t make it so hard to fire shitty employees, they can probably do with like 80-90% of their work force just from pure efficiency gains.

It’s also worth noting that the continued prevalence of 0% or near-0% financing offers has largely been enabled by nearly two decades of historically low interest rates. Other than a brief period in 05/06, interest rates have been incredibly low. And even in that mid-aughts spike, rates were in the neighborhood of…

And lets not forget that hydrogen fuel cells degrade from operation too (something hydrogen advocates never mention even though they are sure to mention battery degradation at every turn).

Bosch is simply trying to salvage their dying investment, because if they don’t do anything, they would have to write off billions in losses.

nothing says future like a heavily compressed gas held in a tank from the lowest bidder!!

Ah yes, I really want my neighbor to have a system for generating a highly explosive gas and then highly pressurizing it. Oh, and it is invisible & odorless.  Are you insane?

No, because electrolysis still is not efficient enough for small scale production, it’s as insane an idea as Mao’s backyard blast furnaces was. Some things don’t scale down well, and H2 production is one of them

You get the “Someone who knows something” award today. Stay frosty.

This depends entirely on what part of the country you’re in. If you’re in a warm-climate state, yeah, the hydrants are full of water at all times. If you’re in a state that gets cold winters, though, they can’t do that because the hydrant would freeze. So the valve is actually 6-8 feet below ground, and the hydrant…

Reads post. Looks at picture. Lexus RX. Story checks out. 

Hold on, wait. I’m confused. Is he a liberal, President bashing twit? Or a liberal President bashing twit? As in, he bashes liberal Presidents? Or he’s a liberal President who bashes . . . okay, I’m all messed up now. Shit.

While anecdotal there’s little reason for Porsche owners on a Porsche forum to lie about cancelling their preorders. Do you think this is some crazy conspiracy or something? https://www.macanforum.com/threads/new-taycan-too-expensive-as-i-predicted.173051/page-4#post-2558679

Tesla has little to loose here.

there is some idiocy in the forum you link to, which basically translates as “I though the all electric version of a $200K car would be priced at $99K”.
